UAE Accuses Iran of Attacking Oil Tankers in Strait of Hormuz

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) accused Iran of attacking two oil tankers belonging to ADNOC as they passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday night. The vessels were not seriously damaged, and no crew members were injured in the incident.

This is the latest in a series of attacks on UAE ships in the region. In July, two ADNOC oil tankers were struck by Iranian cruise missiles in the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in one Indian crew member being killed and eight others being injured.

The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the attacks as 'acts of piracy attributed to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard' and warned that they pose a threat to regional stability and global energy security.
