Maritime threat has increased due to risks near Bandar Abbas port and the Strait of Hormuz; regional threat level remains high due to unprovoked zionist strikes on Iran, leading to escalation.

The UAE National Guard’s coast guard evacuated 24 crew members from the oil tanker Adalynn after it collided with another tanker in the Gulf of Oman, 24 nautical miles off the UAE coast. The crew was transported to Khor Fakkan Port. The second vessel, owned by shipping company Frontline, was identified as the Front Eagle, which caught fire after the collision. Frontline said no injuries or pollution were reported. The incident occurred near the Strait of Hormuz, and the company confirmed it was a maritime accident unrelated to regional tensions. Three tankers reportedly caught fire in the area, according to Reuters.
