Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed a tanker attack in the Strait of Hormuz on July 21, forcing its crew to abandon ship, plus two more ship attacks on July 20. Iran's president declared "full-scale war" after US strikes hit sites near Bushehr, Iran's only operational nuclear plant. UKMTO independently confirmed the tanker incident. The strait carries roughly a fifth of global oil consumption.
