[Attack on Oil Tanker in Strait of Hormuz Sparks Simultaneous Emotional Develops in the Middle East] ⑴ The UK's Office for Maritime Trade Operations reported that an oil tanker was struck by an unidentified projectile while entering the Strait of Hormuz. Two crew members sustained minor injuries. The vessel is still able to proceed under its own power to the next port, and no environmental pollution has been reported. ⑵ Due to the conflict, shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz is far below normal peacetime levels. This waterway normally handles about one-fifth of the world's crude oil shipments. ⑶ Israel celebrates Yom Kippur, the most important Jewish holiday, and domestic social activities are suspended. However, the military remains on high alert, and frontline forces have been reinforced following the attack in the West Bank. ⑷ Iran closed a French-language cultural center in Tehran. France lodged a strong protest, plans to summon the Iranian ambassador, and threatened to take corresponding countermeasures.
