Iran attacks cargo ship in Hormuz
Iran attacked a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting the UN to pause evacuations in the waterway. The attack caused oil prices to rise and highlighted Tehran's plan to generate $40 billion annually from a post-war Hormuz toll, which Washington opposes. Insurance firm Allianz warned of a 'new maritime order' with heightened security risks and higher risk premiums.
