Three tankers were hit in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday as Iran and the US engaged in heated exchanges. A Qatari liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker was at risk of exploding due to a fire in its engine room, Reuters reported, citing a source, after the vessel was struck by a projectile in the strait. The incidents are the first reported attacks in the Strait of Hormuz since the funeral ceremonies for former Iranian Supreme Leader, late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, began.
