Iran says tankers ablaze in Hormuz as attack fears grow
Iranian forces said five oil tankers and a tugboat caught fire in several incidents in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said the US may have to destroy the rest of Iran and that people will know soon. Regional states are talking to try to stop the war from restarting. Iran reportedly sent a nuclear proposal to the US through Qatar.
Why it matters
About a fifth of the world's oil normally passes through Hormuz, so attacks there raise fuel prices everywhere.
Background
The US and Israel have fought Iran for months. Shipping in the Gulf has been repeatedly hit.
