Footage Shows Iranian ‘Suicide Boat’ Striking U.S.-Owned Oil Tanker in the Persian Gulf
An Indian national reportedly died on Wednesday after an attack by an Iranian suicide boat on a US
-owned oil tanker near Iraq. The rest of the 27 crew members were rescued and taken to Basra.
The incident took place when the US-owned, Marshall Islands-flagged tanker Safesea Vishnu was attacked off the Khor Al Zubair port inside Iraqi territorial waters.
Sources close to Safesea told news agency PTI that the company was ‘devastated’ by the loss and urged the Indian government to strongly condemn the attack and take urgent measures to ensure the safety of crew members in the region amid rising tensions in West Asia.
