The Iranian tanker was hit by two missiles at 5 am and 5:20 am this morning near the Saudi coast, 95 kilometers from the Saudi Arabian port of Jeddah in the Red Sea, said Siavosh Ghazi, correspondent for France 24 and RFi in Iran. According to some sources, the missiles were fired from the Saudi coast. But we do not have official confirmation yet. If this is confirmed, it would be an additional tension between Tehran and Riyadh. According to the official committee of the national oil company, the crew of the tanker is safe and sound but there is significant damage. The two main tanks of the tanker were affected by these two missiles.
