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."
