What the reports sayEach newsroom’s own summary of its report, from its feed

Nov 10 - Despite market bets on a de-escalation in the Iran war, new evidence has emerged in recent days of strikes on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and on energy infrastructure in the Middle East.
There is little sign of attacks abating in November, after 37 ships were attacked in October, the highest monthly total since the start of the war.
