VIDEO: Iran attacks refineries; CMA CGM shuts down all cargo bookings to Middle East

CMA CGM on Tuesday became the latest global container line to suspend all cargo bookings to the Middle East as Iranian attacks brought shipping to a halt in the Persian Gulf.

Reports said a half-dozen oil and gas tankers have been damaged in the region. The Athena Nova, a Honduran-flagged bitumen tanker operated out of the United Arab Emirates, was hit by two drones as it attempted to cross the strait and was sinking.
