Default Oil tankers catch fire after bombed attack in Gulf of Oman
https://news.sky.com/story/two-oil-t...-oman-11740888


Not the Official Iranians
but no one knows who set them off?


[Two oil tankers have caught fire after being attacked in the Gulf of Oman.
One of them, the Front Altair, was bombed by a side mine
Taiwan's state oil refiner CPC Corp said.
It was "on fire and adrift", maritime intelligence firm Dryad Global said. ]
