An Iranian news agency reported on Friday that a United States missile strike hit an LPG tanker in the Gulf of Oman, killing two crew members and disabling the vessel. The Fars news agency, citing an unnamed informed source, said the attack damaged the ship’s engine room. The source added that the United States believed the tanker was carrying Iranian gas. The Gulf of Oman is a strategic waterway near the Strait of Hormuz, a vital passage for global oil and gas shipments. The region has seen heightened tensions between the US and Iran in recent years. No official confirmation from the US government has been reported yet. The attack comes amid ongoing disputes over shipping and sanctions related to Iranian energy exports. The identity and flag of the tanker were not disclosed in the report. Investigations into the incident are expected to continue.
