مقذوف مجهول يصيب ناقلة نفط قبالة سواحل عُمان
(opens the publisher’s site)Two tankers were hit by unidentified projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz and east of Oman on Friday, extending threats to shipping in the strategic waterway.
- Britain's Maritime Trade Operations said a tanker was struck by an unspecified projectile while leaving the Strait of Hormuz, causing a small fire and power loss.
- Hours later, a crude oil tanker reported a hit by an unknown projectile east of Oman, with no crew injuries reported in either incident.
- Hassan Qashqavi, spokesman for the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said a new draft law would require ships of non-hostile states to obtain permits to transit the Strait of Hormuz.
- Qashqavi said the bill would bar transit by Israeli vessels and ships of states Iran considers hostile, or those carrying military cargoes.
- Britain's Maritime Trade Operations said the tanker struck east of Oman was hit on its left side about 4 nautical miles from the coast, with no environmental damage reported.
