IRAN-OMAN-GULF-OIL-TANKER-US-JAPAN-NORWAY

A picture obtained by AFP from the Iranian news agency Tasnim on June 14, 2019 shows what they say are some of the crew of the oil tankers which were targeted in suspected attacks in the Gulf of Oman, after they were reportedly rescued by the Iranian navy on June 13, 2019 in the Iranian southern port town of Bandar-e-Jask. Suspected attacks left two tankers in flames in the Gulf of Oman the previous day, bumping up oil prices and further raising regional tensions triggered by a bitter US-Iran standoff. The ships were struck in the same strategic sea lane where four oil vessels were sabotaged last month in attacks Washington blamed on Tehran. The ship's owners confirmed their tanker had been attacked and that all of its 21 crew members had been rescued. Iran's navy rescued 44 sailors in all from the Kokuka Courageous and the Norwegian-owned Front Altair after fires broke out on both vessels.
