Two oil tankers were set ablaze in the Persian Gulf on Wednesday after Iran conducted a suicide boat attack, local officials said, marking the latest escalation of Iran’s threat to stop the flow of oil globally.
The vessels caught fire in waters off the coast of Iraq, near the Strait of Hormuz, leaving one crewmember dead while the other 38 were rescued, according to multiple reports.
