Togo-flagged tanker reportedly hit in Strait of Hormuz

A September 19 post says Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claimed an attack on the Togo-flagged Trend and cites “UK maritime” as noting a projectile strike and fire. It puts oil near $104 and links continued disruption in Hormuz to inflation pressure. A separate September 20 post argues that Iranian pressure on Saudi Arabia through the Houthis could push energy prices and inflation higher. It speculates that another major U.S. strike on Iran could follow, potentially with Israel joining.
