Security data shows that since last Sunday, at least 10 ships have been attacked in or near the Strait of Hormuz; This statistic is the highest number of attacks in this region since the start of the war against Iran on February 28, 2026.

According to the selection report, according to the data of the Vanguard security company, the International Maritime Organization and the British Maritime Trade Operations Organization, four ships were attacked on Tuesday and six ships on Sunday. The number of attacks on Sunday was the highest number of attacks recorded in one day since the beginning of the war.

Maritime sources have reported that two sailors are missing, and there have been reports of a container ship sinking following the recent attacks.

Since last March, in response to the US and Israeli attacks on its territory, Iran has started targeting commercial ships passing through this vital passage. Tehran has also continued to attack ships that pass through routes that are not approved by the country.

These attacks have disrupted sea traffic through the Strait of Hormuz; A passage that is usually one of the busiest sea routes for the export of oil and other goods from the Persian Gulf countries.

Since the beginning of this October, 23 attacks have been recorded; A figure that is almost double the monthly average of incidents recorded since the beginning of the war.

America announced on Saturday that it has targeted a cargo ship in the framework of the blockade of Iranian ports. However, the International Maritime Organization has not included this incident among its registered incidents.

According to the statistics of this organization, since the beginning of the war, around 24 sailors have lost their lives in incidents that occurred in the area near the Strait of Hormuz.

The International Monetary Fund announced that the prolongation of the war in the Middle East and its consequences for energy production, shipping routes and critical infrastructure are the greatest risks for the economies of the Middle East and Central Asia.

Jihad Azour, director of the Middle East and Central Asia Department of the International Monetary Fund, told reporters that this war will cause an unbalanced economic shock to the entire region, and the countries that are directly affected by it are facing severe pressure.

According to him, the excess supply available before the war, alternative routes, adjustment of demand and extensive withdrawal of reserves have helped to contain the impact of the shock caused by the American and Israeli attacks on Iran and the subsequent closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Tehran.

"These reserves have given us some time, but they are limited," Azour said. Reserves have decreased and excess production capacity has also decreased; Therefore, a resumption of disruptions could lead to a much wider price adjustment."

He added that the International Monetary Fund predicts that the economy of the Middle East and North Africa region, including Pakistan, will face a severe contraction of 1.3 percent after growing by 3.3 percent in 2025. However, the region is expected to achieve strong but uneven growth in 2027, with economic growth reaching 6.6 percent.

At the same time, Azour emphasized that there are significant differences between the countries of the region.

Trump expressed his anger towards an anonymous source who disclosed information about the time of the US attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities.

US President Donald Trump said during a campaign rally in Arizona that people who leak information about US military operations to the media "should be executed by firing squad."

Trump expressed his anger at an anonymous source who, according to him, provided reporters with information about the timing of US attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities.

"Those who disclose information should be shot," he said, adding that in the past, people involved in such disclosures were executed in this manner.

CNN claimed: The US military has developed new plans to attack Iran, according to which, if President Donald Trump issues an order to resume military operations, either before the mid-term elections or after, there is a possibility of using the bomb known as the "mother of all bombs" to target Iran's energy infrastructure and nuclear facilities. This issue has been announced by several American officials who are aware of this issue.

According to the selection report, this article continues: The use of the GBU-43/B bomb, which is known as the "Massive Air Blast Ordnance" (MOAB) and is the largest non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal, for the first time in the war with Iran, will mean a significant escalation of conflicts. However, several sources familiar with internal discussions about the possibility of using this weapon in military planning have said that there are serious doubts about its effectiveness in achieving Trump's stated strategic goals or changing the balance of war.

Trump is under pressure to end a war that is deeply unpopular with the public; That is in the situation where the Republicans are preparing themselves to face the possible political consequences and the negative reaction of the voters in the mid-term elections. After more than six months of American bombardment, there are no signs that the two countries have come close to an agreement for a negotiated solution to the crisis.

The U.S. military continues to provide Trump with options for possible strikes on remaining targets in Iran, but some U.S. officials in private circles continue to question whether the White House has a substantive strategy to tie these military plans together in a way that would actually end the war. A decision whose authority is only in the hands of the president.

For months, Trump and his advisers have been examining options that can be presented as a "definite" end to the war, at least in terms of propaganda and media; They are aware of the level of dissatisfaction of the Americans with this conflict.

While some figures in the US government have described the war as virtually won, Trump has been more cautious in his recent statements, refusing to declare final victory and saying that the US still has unfinished business in Iran.

Behind the scenes, Trump has also expressed skepticism about some foreign allies who have encouraged him to withdraw American forces from the region and end the war. According to him, such action will be seen as a failure.

Over the past few weeks, White House advisers have held meetings to discuss various options regarding Iran. Trump has publicly said he won't take new action before the midterm elections, but several of his advisers have said privately that they don't know if that statement is a definitive decision or could change before Election Day.

One of the sources told CNN that Trump has ordered the military to develop more operational packages to attack Iranian targets; Plans include targeting "a large portion of the energy infrastructure" and the possible use of a MOAB bomb.

The source said the phrase used to describe the timing of such an attack was "before the withdrawal of US forces from the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility." This phrase suggests that the US government may launch additional attacks, try to declare victory, and then quickly withdraw all of its forces from the region.

Trump has repeatedly threatened to target this region in recent months. America and Israel believe that Tehran has kept parts of its nuclear program there. These threats have continued even after Trump halted large-scale military operations earlier this year. He continues to emphasize that his goal is that Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon.
