TechFlow News, March 12: According to foreign media reports, two oil tankers were attacked near the northern Gulf off Iraq and Kuwait, reigniting concerns over commercial shipping safety in the region. International oil prices surged sharply at the opening of trading on Thursday. Preliminary reports indicate the vessels may have been struck by Iranian unmanned explosive boats or similar devices—a tactic increasingly employed in maritime attacks across the region. Analysts note that the northern Gulf—particularly waters near Iraq and Kuwait—is a critical global hub for petroleum exports. Any instability in these waters could ripple across global energy markets. Even localized attacks can raise shipping insurance premiums, force vessels to reroute, and intensify fears of supply disruptions—especially as crude markets are already under pressure from geopolitical risks. Although details of the attacks remain under investigation, these incidents underscore the growing vulnerability of the global energy supply chain in this region. (Jinshi Data)
