Iranian Media Claims Two 

Oil Tankers Targeted in Gulf 

of Oman



14 June, 2019



Reports about the incident emerged in Middle Eastern media a month after an attack on four vessels off the Emirati coast, which UAE investigators blamed on an unspecified "state actor".


Two successive blasts affected two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday morning, Iran's state-run Press TV reports, citing Al-Alam television network.


The blasts are thought to have been caused by “attacks” on the tankers; it was not immediately clear from the report under which country or countries they were registered.


Pakistani sources were also quoted as saying that the tankers had sent distress calls.


Meanwhile, the UK Maritime Trade Operations, a maritime safety group run by the Royal Navy, has warned about an unspecified incident in the Gulf of Oman between the Emirate of Fujairah and Iran's coast. The group urged "extreme caution" given the ongoing tensions in the region between the United States and Iran, and said that an investigation is underway.


It comes a month after another apparent attack on vessels in the Gulf. On 12 May, four oil tankers — two Saudi, one Emirati and one Norwegian — were targeted off the coast of Fujairah in what the UAE Foreign Ministry called "sabotage operations."
