Iran issued a set of far-reaching new conditions for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, even as the United Arab Emirates reported that one of its vessels had been targeted by an Iranian missile. At the same time, Yemen’s military launched an assault on the country’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
What Happened
ADNOC said no casualties were reported in the latest incident, which occurred early Saturday. The vessel and its crew were reported to be safe. It remained unclear whether the incident was the same attack reported by ADNOC.
The company added that more than a dozen of its vessels have been targeted by missiles and drones while passing through the strait since the United States and Israel began their war against Iran in February. The attacks have so far killed one crew member and injured 20 others, according to ADNOC.
Later, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said a vessel east of Khasab, Oman, had been hit by a projectile, triggering a fire that was subsequently extinguished.
