Iraq: Unidentified attack targets oil tanker
The Iraqi Ministry of Transport confirmed that the ship targeted within Iraqi territorial waters near the Al-Amaya oil port in Basra did not result in any human casualties or fuel cargo leaks. They clarified that the incident caused only material damage to the ship's hull. Sources suggest that Iran is behind the attack, which comes as part of ongoing Iranian escalation against the United States, especially amidst threats to establish no-go zones in the Gulf and plans for new shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz. The ship was damaged while in waters off the Al-Amaya port, a strategic oil export terminal in Iraq. Authorities are investigating the source of the damage and the circumstances of the incident, while security measures have been taken to monitor and prevent further incidents.
