Iran oil tanker hit, probably by missiles, in the Red Sea off Saudi Arabia’s coast, Iranian media says. An incident that if confirmed will stoke tension in a region rattled by attacks on tankers and oil sites since May. Read more:
Refinitiv ship tracking information indicated the Sabiti, a Suezmax class tanker, was in the Red Sea and heading south under its own power, bound for Larak, off Iran’s southern Gulf coast.
Tracking service Marine Traffic said on Twitter that, based on its information, including a NASA shot of the area and AIS data, “we do not see any smoke, fire, spills or tugboats. Instead, we see a tanker cruising home at a healthy speed.” Russia said it was too early to assign blame for the tanker explosion. China, the top buyer of Iranian oil, said it hoped all parties would work to uphold peace and stability in the region.
Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi group claimed responsibility for the Saudi attacks, but a U.S. official said they originated from southwestern Iran.
