Summary
On October 16, 2026, at least 12 ships were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, including the M/V GFS Pride and a supertanker carrying more than two million barrels of crude oil. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for some of the attacks, which were carried out using rocket-propelled grenades (RPG). While the US military attributed the strikes to the IRGC, the IRGC claimed that vessels were hitting mines across the waterway. Reports indicate that one ship sank, two were disabled, and others were damaged or had unconfirmed outcomes.
