Middle East conflict: Naval clashes in Strait of Hormuz and Gaza strikes continue
Ongoing hostilities persist in the Middle East despite previous ceasefire agreements. In the Gaza Strip, Israeli forces conducted drone attacks in the Nuseirat refugee camp, resulting in the deaths of at least two Palestinian civilians near a local electric company.
In the Strait of Hormuz, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy reported that five tankers were immobilized while attempting to use unauthorized transit routes. Three of these vessels were reportedly affected by naval mines. Additionally, an unmanned surface vehicle was destroyed east of the strategic waterway.
The broader conflict, which escalated in February 2026 following US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, continues to impact maritime security and global oil prices despite a Pakistan-mediated ceasefire that went into effect in April.
