Oil tanker Sky Light was attacked by Iran near the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian state TV claimed the vessel “did not heed Iranian warnings.”

Reuters reports the Palau-flagged Skylight was struck off Oman’s coast near the Musandam area, injuring four crew members and prompting an evacuation.

The incident is sharpening fears that Tehran is widening its retaliation playbook from missile fire to economic choke points—trying to intimidate commercial shipping and pressure the international coalition backing Israel and the U.S.

Skylight is linked to a ship manager previously sanctioned by the U.S. over Iranian oil transport, underscoring how Iran’s regime blends military escalation with gray-zone maritime coercion.
