Oman's Ministry of Defense stated that the oil tanker "On Peace" was attacked and caught fire on Tuesday, 9 nautical miles off the coast of Lima Port, Oman. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs reported that 17 of the 19 crew members were Indian nationals, and 11 of the 12 injured were Indian nationals. No organization has yet claimed responsibility for the incident. Since the US and Israel began their conflict with Iran, the security situation in the Strait of Hormuz has continued to deteriorate, with at least seven tanker incidents reported in the past week. Despite this, Middle Eastern oil exports have recently rebounded to pre-war levels, but Brent crude futures prices still rose to $101.51 per barrel on Tuesday.
