“Associated Press” news agency on Wednesday (November 16, 25 Aban) quoted an official as claiming that an oil tanker associated with an Israeli billionaire was attacked by a bomb-carrying drone off the coast of Oman.
According to this report, the unnamed defense official based in West Asia said the attack took place on Tuesday off the coast of Oman. “We are aware of this incident and are investigating it,” British Maritime Operations, the British military organization that oversees shipping in the region, told The Associated Press.
The said official identified the attacked tanker as “Pacific Zircon” with the flag of Liberia. This tanker operates under the management of Eastern Pacific Shipping, a Singapore-based company owned by Zionist billionaire Eidan Ofer.
According to the Associated Press, this company and the Israeli embassy in Abu Dhabi did not respond to a request for a reaction about the said attack.
According to Arab News, in response to this news, the Fifth Fleet of the US Navy announced that it has been informed of an incident in the Gulf of Oman in connection with a commercial ship.
In a supplementary news, the company that owns the oil tanker “Pacific Zircon” claimed that the oil tanker was hit by a projectile off the coast of Oman and its end part was damaged by the explosion, but the crew was not injured and there is no oil pollution in the water.
According to ship tracking website MarineTraffic, the tanker, which is said to be carrying diesel fuel, was last seen on Monday morning off the coast of Liwa, Oman, and left Sohar, Oman, for the port of Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Monday evening. According to Bloomberg, the tanker last announced its position near the Gulf of Oman on Tuesday.
