Tehran-Sana
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi announced today that the Iranian oil tanker "Sabiti" has been targeted twice in the eastern Red Sea.
"Investigations by the National Iranian Oil Tankers Company (NIOC) show that the tanker was damaged when it was targeted twice in half an hour near the corridor in the east of the Red Sea," Mousavi said in a statement.
He pointed out that "during the past few months there have been other acts of sabotage against Iranian oil tankers in the Red Sea, where investigations are currently being carried out on those involved in these incidents."
Moussaoui expressed concern over the pollution caused by the oil spill from the damaged tanker tanks.
He pointed out that the investigation will continue on the details and elements behind the serious incident and will be announced after reaching the results.
An Iranian tanker belonging to the National Oil Tankers Company (NOC) was hit earlier in the day by an explosion that hit the structure of the tanker, 60 miles from the Saudi port of Jeddah.
