Iran Reports Seven Tankers Damaged in Hormuz in 24 Hours; Traffic Falls

A news report published Oct 22 says Iran reported damage to seven oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz within 24 hours, including four attacked simultaneously, and that tanker traffic through the strait fell amid fears of renewed US-Iran war. Only the aggregated headline was available; vessels, attackers and damage were not independently verified, so the report is unconfirmed.
