A tanker off Qatar's north coast was hit by multiple projectiles on Wednesday, about 500km west of the strait of Hormuz, causing an unknown number of casualties, UK Maritime Trade Operations said. Iran also vowed to shut a southern route along Oman's coast used to dodge its blockade. Brent crude topped $100 a barrel as tanker attacks reached their highest weekly level of the war.
