The UAE has accused Iran of attacking two of its oil vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. No injuries were reported in the incident.
The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company has confirmed that two of its vessels were attacked while transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday evening. The company has stated that there were no injuries reported in the incident. The United Arab Emirates has accused Iran of carrying out the attack, which has raised concerns about the safety of ships passing through the strategic waterway. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical route for oil exports, and any disruption to shipping in the area could have significant economic implications. The incident is likely to escalate tensions between the UAE and Iran, and could have broader implications for regional security.
