Traffic stalls in Strait of Hormuz

Three Indonesian crew members are missing after a UAE-flagged tugboat sank in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday. Before it went down, the vessel experienced an explosion that sparked a fire. Local authorities are investigating. Traffic through the strait has nearly come to a halt, as captains fear attacks from Iran. Around one-fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas supply passes through the strait, along with vital daily goods. Camille Corcoran and our colleagues from FRANCE 2 report.
