🚨🇶🇦🇮🇷 Several casualties are reported after a tanker was hit by multiple projectiles 58 miles off Qatar’s northern coast
Multiple projectiles, several casualties, and a ship sitting nearly 60 miles off Qatar… nowhere near the strait where most of these attacks happen.
UKMTO still hasn’t said how many were killed or hurt or whose ship it was, and nobody has claimed it.
It caps the worst week for tanker attacks of the entire war, followed hours later by a suspected strike on a supertanker off the UAE’s Fujairah.
If the middle of the Gulf isn’t safe, which shipping lane is?
Iran is spreading its attacks across the whole Gulf, and with just one US carrier in the region, escorts can’t cover every lane, so crews keep paying the price until that changes.
