⚠️ Cargo ships to carry more guns when sailing past Iran.

Oil tankers passing Iran are now required by London insurers to bolster security with more guns, ammunition, and personnel due to heightened risks in the Strait of Hormuz. 

This key waterway between Dubai and Iran has seen sharply increased "war risk insurance" costs amid tensions involving Iran and Israel.
