Hormuz just had its worst week of the war — at least 12 tanker attacks in seven days, the most since the war began in February. Tuesday the On Peace took a projectile in the strait: 12 crew hurt, 11 of them Indian nationals, evacuated to Khasab by the Omanis. Monday a tanker took a hit to the engine room and kept going. Here’s the tell: the ships keep sailing anyway. The On Peace sat on Iran’s own blacklist of 81 vessels it says broke its strait rules — and traffic still flowed. This is the war now: slow-burn chokepoint harassment priced into every barrel, and nobody’s blinking hard enough to stop it.
