DUBAI - An explosion set ablaze an Iranian oil tanker off the Saudi port city of Jeddah, Iranian state media reported on Friday, adding that experts suspected it was a “terrorist attack”.

The tanker, owned by National Iranian Oil Company, had suffered heavy damage and was leaking oil into the Red Sea some 60 miles from Jeddah, unnamed sources told Iran’s Students News Agency ISNA.The Nour news agency, which is close to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, said the crew was safe and gave the name of stricken vessel as “Sanitized”.Tensions have been high between regional foes Iran and Saudi Arabia since an attack on the Kingdom’s two oil facilities on Sept.

Yemen’s Houthi group claimed responsibility for the attacks, but a U.S. official said they originated from southwestern Iran. Riyadh blamed Tehran. Iran, which supports the Houthis in Yemen’s war, has denied any involvement.

The Iranians are wagging the dog

'It was a terrorist attack'

I can’t believe Iranian leaders as they are the biggest lier regime globally, made by Iranian regimes

يعني / Means / Я имею ввиду / منظورم ❓❓❓❓❓

We all know who did this...

هههههههه هم الارهاب بنفسة

ايران تفتعل الحريق البسيط لتفرغ حمولتا بسفن صغيره وتهرب حمولتها لسوريا وليبيا بطريقه اخري لكن مو علينا يالمجوس

They wanted to ease the international pressure on them. They are not allowed to cross Sueis.

Huthi militia bombed thinking it belongs to saudi arabia

Good Job Israel

Iran bombs Iran

Funny that the terrorists are claiming they are the victim of terrorism oh the irony

Let's wait before passing judgement. Might actually be a simple answer.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They attacked themselves and they want to polluting the red sea 😡

Am gona slap myself so hard and accuse you 😂😂😂

Trying to remove some pressure from erdogan

Iran had attacked its tanker, what is the issue?

ridiculous...

Iran is crazy

I will not be surprised if Iran did it. Increasing oil price + polluting the red sea is their strategic target. Iran demonstrating the actual meaning of terrorism

Iran it self did that on purpose for 2 reasons ! 1- they have the right and excuse to do terrorism attacks like what they’ve done to the oil fields last month. 2- ruining and polluting the red sea so, later KSA can’t get any benefits from the sea anyway !

They make it by themselves. It’s disaster for the cost of Jeddah.

مسرحية ايرانية جديدة نحن لسنا اغبياء

As per the update the Iranian oil tanker was hit by houthies rocket

American terrorist or Israeli terrorist?

It was too dark to see..

The Iranians want to decrease the international pressure upon them after their attack on Abqiq. They made up this poor story

Text book Ayottalah Bullshit

Iran gave signals that they would join the conflict.

The so called explosion happened as per Iran in 5.26am and now their expertise made deaction that it was terrorist act. Anyone else smell what smell bullshit

They attacked themselves?

Do we go to war now, Mr President blompf2020 ?
