Golden Ten Data reported on March 12 that, according to foreign media, two oil tankers were attacked near the northern Gulf close to Iraq and Kuwait, once again raising concerns about the safety of commercial shipping in the region. International oil prices surged sharply at the start of trading on Thursday. Preliminary reports indicate that these vessels may have been hit by Iranian unmanned explosive boats or similar devices, a tactic that is increasingly frequent in maritime attacks in the area.

Even localized attacks can increase shipping insurance costs, force vessels to reroute, and heighten concerns about supply disruptions, while the crude oil market is already under pressure from geopolitical risks. Although the specific details of the attacks are still under investigation, these incidents highlight the growing vulnerability of the global energy supply chain in the region.
