Iranian navy attacked a giant oil tanker off the coast of Saudi Arabia.

A few hours ago, the large oil tanker NCC DAMMAM, which was in the port of Saudi Arabia, was attacked by the Iranian military. According to information available to the information portal Avia.pro, the attack was carried out using a mined speedboat.

According to local media reports, as a result of the explosion in the port of Yanbu al-Bahr, several ships located near the port suffered, however, the tanker itself received minor damage - casualties on board were avoided, although the Saudi Arabian authorities claim that the boat was destroyed even before after colliding with an oil tanker.

“The latest information says that a remote-controlled boat loaded with explosives aimed at the port of Yanbu al-Bahr in Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea, causing an explosion, the effects of which could be seen from the entire coastal zone. Saudi Arabia claims to have intercepted and destroyed the attacking ship, but private security firms say the attack could have affected commercial traffic in the port area. ", - reports the information publication "Soha".

Tehran did not comment on the accusations against it, however, experts draw attention to the fact that Iran's involvement can only be indirect, since the attacks on the western part of Saudi Arabia are usually behind the Houthis, who are actively supported by Tehran.
