Cape Dao (Antigua and Barbuda) sank after a Sept 23 projectile strike; one Indian crew member killed (IMO data). Only the 2nd and 3rd sinkings since the Iran war began Feb 28. Attacks surged since late September; oil flows through the strait reduced; oil prices and shipping costs rising. Iran claims mines/unauthorized routes; experts cited by CNN doubt the mine claim.
