The high-stakes attack occurred 25 nautical miles northeast of Oman's Khasab, sending immediate panic waves through global shipping corridors. Because nothing screams 'geopolitical stability' quite like floating explosives greeting civilian vessels while international maritime bodies issue routine paper-tiger warnings.
