'Name one commercial freight carrier hit by a drone or mine.'

The strike marks the second reported attack on tankers in the region on March 7. Earlier in the day, Iranian forces reportedly hit another oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz after it ignored a warning issued by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Exploding drone boats have entered the Iran fight. Oman says one hit a tanker in a fatal blow.
