  "textContent": "WEB DESK: On Monday, the fully loaded vessel _Al-Salmi_ was targeted and set ablaze in the latest escalation of hostilities within the world’s most vital maritime chokepoint. While emergency crews battled the inferno, Washington issued its most severe warning to date.\n\nPresident Donald Trump, speaking from the White House, declared that the United States is prepared to \"obliterate\" Iran’s domestic energy infrastructure and oil wells should Tehran continue its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, according to _Reuters_.\n\nThis flare-up follows a pattern of retaliatory drone and missile strikes on merchant shipping that has plagued the Gulf since the joint US-Israeli military action against Iran on 28 February.\n\n## Global energy markets on edge as conflict widens\n\nThe assault on the _Al-Salmi_ marks a significant shift in the scale of the maritime conflict, transitioning from harassment to the potential destruction of high-capacity energy carriers.\n\nMaritime security experts suggest the strike involved a sophisticated mix of aerial drones and sea-based explosives, a signature of the regional \"shadow war\" that has now burst into the open.\n\nWith the Strait of Hormuz the transit point for a fifth of the world’s oil effectively under threat, Brent crude prices are expected to see significant volatility.\n\nAnalysts warn that if President Trump follows through on threats to dismantle Iran’s oil plants, the resulting environmental and economic fallout could reshape the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East for a generation.\n\nThe post Trump threatens to destroy Iran’s energy sites after Dubai tanker attack appeared first on HUM News.",
