liquefied natural gas tanker

A liquefied natural gas tanker was set ablaze after being struck by a projectile in the Strait of Hormuz near Oman, according to the British military. Iranian state television implied responsibility, citing warnings to the vessel but not directly claiming the attack. The U.S. seeks negotiations with Iran to resolve tensions over shipping routes and nuclear programs, but talks are paused until after the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
