Data shows that more than 18 commercial vessels were targeted by Iran during the first 12 days of October, including six a day prior.
Between Oct 5 and 12 alone, at least 14 attacks, attempted attacks and interceptions involving vessels were recorded in and around the strait, according to the same sources.
