UAE: Iran attacked two ADNOC vessels in Strait of Hormuz

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) said two of its vessels were attacked while transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday evening, ​with no injuries reported, as the United Arab Emirates accused Iran ‌of carrying out the attack.

Axar.az reports, citing Reuters, that the attack was the second such incident involving ADNOC vessels in less than a week.

On Saturday, the UAE condemned what it said was an ​Iranian attack on a vessel linked to the state oil company ​as it passed through the strait.

ADNOC said the situation had been ⁠brought under control, according to the UAE's state news agency WAM.

The UAE ​Foreign Ministry condemned what it called a "hostile Iranian attack" on the two ADNOC ​vessels.

It said Iran's Revolutionary Guards had committed "acts of piracy" by targeting commercial shipping and using the strait as a tool of economic pressure or blackmail, posing a direct threat ​to regional stability and global energy security.

No injuries were reported.
