The story covers the energy platform Vortexa's report that Iranian crude oil exports have dropped to zero under the US blockade, alongside US President Donald Trump's escalation of rhetoric towards Tehran and his threat of decisive decisions. It also includes a tanker and a container ship being hit by unidentified projectiles while crossing the Strait of Hormuz, and the UK Maritime Trade Operations opening an investigation into the two incidents amid a rise in attacks on ships in the strait.
Al-Ain Al-Akhbariya focused on Vortexa's data on Iranian oil exports and floating crude figures, while Al-Quds newspaper combined Trump's escalation remarks, the collapse of exports and a reference to the ships being targeted; Lebanon Debate limited itself to the maritime incident, UKMTO's announcement and the figures of previous attacks on ships.
