In the Persian Gulf, the U.K.’s Maritime Trade Operations Center reports an oil tanker was struck by a projectile while exiting the Strait of Hormuz Monday. All crew members are reportedly safe and accounted for. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps took credit for the attack, saying it was the third ship it had struck in two days. Since the start of October, there have been at least 18 attacks on ships in or around the Strait of Hormuz.
