US-Iran War Reaches Day 10 As A Second Tanker Burns In Hormuz

Houthi forces now threaten the Red Sea route too, putting the world's two oil chokepoints under simultaneous attack.

  • Tanker Kaifan struck days after the Acheloos, both hit by missiles inside the Strait of Hormuz.
  • UKMTO and CENTCOM confirm the US and Iran remain in active combat for a tenth straight day.
  • Houthi forces threaten Red Sea shipping lanes, opening a second front against global oil transit.

Why it matters: Ten days of fighting have turned two separate waterways into a single continuous battlefield for world oil transit.
