Riyadh condemns ‘Iran’s targeting’ of Saudi tanker in Hormuz strait

Saudi Arabia blamed Iran for an attack Tuesday on one of its tankers as it transited the Strait of Hormuz, after Qatar issued a similar condemnation for another attack it accused Tehran of committing.

The Saudi foreign ministry denounced in a statement “Iran’s targeting of the Saudi tanker Wedyan while it was transiting the Strait of Hormuz, as well as the targeting of the Qatari tanker Al-Rekayyat”.
