Iran targets UAE oil tanker with missile in the Strait of Hormuz
An Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) vessel was struck by a missile early Saturday while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, 18 nautical miles east of Khasab, Oman. The UAE Foreign Ministry condemned the "hostile Iranian attack" and accused Tehran of acts of piracy and violating UN freedom of navigation resolutions. While a fire broke out on the carrier, it was quickly extinguished and no injuries were reported. This incident marks the 15th ADNOC vessel attacked since February 2026.
