RoydadNaft – <\/a><\/span>\u00a0The United Arab Emirates said on Saturday Iran had attacked an Abu Dhabi National Oil Company \u200cvessel while it was transiting the Strait of Hormuz a day earlier, the Emirati state news agency WAM reported.<\/p>\n

ADNOC said no injuries were reported and that the situation was under control, according to WAM.<\/p>\n

The UAE foreign ministry called on Tehran to halt what it described as unprovoked attacks, end hostilities and fully reopen \u2060the waterway.<\/p>\n

There was no immediate comment from Iran.<\/p>\n

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have previously threatened action against vessels transiting the strait if they are linked to Tehran’s adversaries or fail to comply with Iranian directives.<\/p>\n

The attack was the third such incident involving ADNOC vessels in less than a week, and the UAE had also accused Iran of being behind the earlier incidents.<\/div>\n

Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to the UAE president, said Abu Dhabi would defend its sovereignty and interests after repeated attacks on ADNOC vessels.<\/p>\n

“We will safeguard our \u200crights \u2060to freedom of navigation … while continuing the path of dialogue and prioritising diplomatic options,” Gargash said in a post on X.<\/p>\n

Separately, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations agency said earlier it had received a report of a bulk carrier being struck by an unknown projectile in the \u2060strait on Friday. It was not immediately clear whether the incident involved the same ADNOC vessel.<\/p>\n

About a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas passed through the narrow waterway between \u2060Oman and Iran before the conflict. Since the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran broke\u00a0out on February 28, shipping has been repeatedly disrupted, raising freight rates and creating security \u2060concerns.<\/div>\n

ADNOC, Abu Dhabi’s state oil company, is one of the world’s largest energy producers and exports crude oil, natural gas and refined products worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The United Arab Emirates said on Saturday Iran had attacked an Abu Dhabi National Oil Company \u200cvessel while it was transiting the Strait of Hormuz a day earlier, the Emirati state news agency WAM reported.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18068,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47,46,36,19,16,42,35],"tags":[],"services":[],"class_list":["post-18067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-international","category-lastnews","category-news","category-oil","category-politics","category-topnews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18067"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18067\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18069,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18067\/revisions\/18069"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18067"},{"taxonomy":"services","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services?post=18067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
