Iran Just Ramped Up Strikes in the Strait of Hormuz

At least 9 ships have been struck by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz over the last week, a pretty significant increase as of late. In fact, one tracker shows 18 attacks so far in the first 9 days of October, matching the total from the month of September at least according to the UK Maritime Trade Organization. It looks like Iran is trying to show that they do still hold some leverage through the Strait of Hormuz as the United States weighs a return to combat operations.
