Israel and US blame Iran for 'drone strike' against oil tanker associated with an Israeli billionaire off Oman's coast

Pacific Zircon was"hit by a projectile approximately 150 miles off the coast of Oman," says shipping firm that operates the vessel, owned by Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer and bound for Buenos Aires.Israel and the United States have blamed Iran after what they said was a drone strike against a tanker operated by an Israeli-owned firm carrying gas oil off the coast of Oman. Tehran didn't immediately comment on the allegations.

"There is some minor damage to the vessel's hull but no spillage of cargo or water ingress," said the company which is owned by Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer — one of two sons of shipping magnate Sammy Ofer, who died in 2011. Iran and Israel are bitter foes and a"shadow war" between the two powers has seen a spate of attacks on ships from both sides that they have blamed on each other. US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan later said the White House was "confident that Iran likely conducted this attack using a UAV".

The official, who requested anonymity, said the attack was carried out with the "same drones that the Iranians are selling to the Russians for use in Ukraine ... the Shahed 136," an unmanned aircraft equipped with a warhead.

Suspicion falls on Iran as oil tanker 'hit by a projectile' off OmanAn oil tanker associated with an Israeli billionaire has been struck by a bomb-carrying drone off the coast of Oman amid heightened tension with Iran. Everybody clearly wants war, why don’t we give them what they want, strap up baby send me to Australia we’re taking over Research of Iran and tankers shows that they have been seizing those ships for years. In 1987, Reagan sent the Navy in to protect tankers leased to Kuwait from the Soviets, and reflag them U.S. property. Back then, no Internet. Mil-Intel was gut instinct. Strange. All of Biden's friends are acting badly lately.
