Iran has stepped up attacks on shipping in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz, with a Greek-owned tanker believed to have been hit by a missile and one seafarer killed. Deutsche Welle reported the strike on Friday, November 6, 2026. Iran said two other vessels were on fire after the attacks. The attack adds to the wider Iran war and raises further concern over the security of one of the world's most important oil shipping routes. The reports did not give details of who was responsible for the missile strike beyond Iran's escalation of attacks, or the nationality of the killed seafarer.
