Attacks on oil ships in the Strait of Hormuz
159
In the Strait of Hormuz, there are new attacks. 3 big ships were hit. One ship belongs to the country Qatar. It is a ship for gas. A drone hit the machine room. There was a fire on the ship. The crew put out the fire. No one is hurt. Qatar says: Iran is guilty. Iran must take responsibility. Another ship from Saudi Arabia was hit. The attacks happened near the coast of Oman. This is an important way for ships. Iran wants money from the ships. They call it a fee for safety. Other countries say no to this. The USA reacts very fast. They forbid the sale of oil from Iran again. This is called a sanction. The USA says: The behavior of Iran is bad. Because of this, the price of oil rises. There is a pause in the war right now. There are talks about atomic weapons. The new attacks stop these peace talks now.
