UAE says Adnoc tanker targeted by missile in Strait of Hormuz

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — A tanker belonging to Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) was struck by a missile while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, the UAE's state news agency reported. Officials said there were no casualties, and the agency did not provide details on the damage to the vessel or identify who carried out the attack. The incident occurred amid heightened security concerns in the strait, a key chokepoint for global oil and energy shipments. Iran's Revolutionary Guard has tied the reopening of the waterway to U.S. acceptance of Iran's conditions and an end to American interference in regional negotiations, according to a statement by Guard spokesperson Brigadier General Muhabbi carried by Iran's Tasnim news agency. Separately, a U.S. official said Washington has made progress in talks between Iran and Oman and is seeking to de-escalate military tensions with Tehran. No further details were immediately available on the investigation into the tanker attack.
