Ship on fire after drone attack in Middle East Gulf, Iran claims

Iran says it attacked a container ship in the Strait of Hormuz because of alleged links to Israel. The strike on a vessel in a key energy and shipping chokepoint risks disrupting container flows, lifting freight rates and insurance premiums and increasing oil-price volatility. Monitor for rerouting of ships, higher shipping costs and any escalation that could broaden market impact.
