Two national tankers were targeted by two Iranian cruise missiles in the southern lane of the Strait of Hormuz in Omani territorial waters, killing one Indian crew member and wounding eight others, including four seriously, the UAE<\/a>‘s Defense Ministry said early on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Six of the wounded were Indian nationals, and two were Ukrainian<\/a> nationals, the ministry said.<\/p>\n

Bahrain’s interior ministry also reported that sirens sounded in Bahrain on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

The UAE’s Defense Ministry said two tankers, the Mombasa and Al Bahiyah, were damaged after fires broke out on board. The fires were brought under control on both ships, the ministry added.<\/p>\n

It also condemned the attack as a serious breach of international law and said the UAE retained its full right to respond and take all necessary measures to protect its sovereignty and security, adding that it is on “high alert and fully prepared to deal with any threats.”<\/p>\n

In a separate incident, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations agency (UKMTO<\/a>) said in a post on X\/Twitter that it received a report of an incident northeast of Qalhat, in Oman.<\/p>\n

A tanker was struck by an “unknown projectile,” according to UKMTO, which added that no crew members were injured in the incident.<\/p>\n

“We’re going to keep the strait, and we’ll probably run it. We’ll become the guardian of the strait. Maybe we’ll call it the guardian angel of the strait. And we should be reimbursed for that,” Trump said.<\/p>\n

Iran’s top joint military command said the US had no role in determining the future of the waterway and would not be allowed to intervene.<\/p>\n
