Iran oil tanker hit by two missiles off Saudi coast: Iranian state media - Reuters:
An Iranian-owned oil tanker was hit by two missiles in the Red Sea off Saudi Arabia’s coast on Friday, Iran’s state television reported, quoting the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) which owns the vessel.
The Sabiti, which was set ablaze, suffered heavy damage and had leaked oil after it was struck in the morning about 60 miles (96 km) from the Saudi port of Jeddah, Iranian media reported. State-run IRNA agency said the leak had been brought under control.
The alleged attack is the latest incident involving oil tankers in the Red Sea and Gulf region, and is likely to ratchet up tensions between regional foes Iran and Saudi Arabia.
