Tehran. The British army has stated that a tanker traveling in the Strait of Hormuz near the coast of Oman caught fire after being hit by a projectile. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday morning, is the latest attack on a ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

Before the war between the US-Israel and Iran began at the end of February, about 20 percent of the oil and natural gas consumed worldwide was transported through this waterway.
