DUBAI - Saudi Arabia’s Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said on Monday that two Saudi oil tankers were targeted on Sunday in “a sabotage attack” off the coast of Fujairah, part of the United Arab Emirates, threatening the security of global oil supplies. One of the two vessels was on its way to be loaded with Saudi crude oil from the port of Ras Tanura, to be delivered to state-owned oil company Saudi Aramco’s customers in the United States, Falih said in a statement carried by state news agency SPA.

The attack did not lead to any casualties or an oil spill but caused significant damage to the structures of the two vessels, he added. On Sunday, the UAE foreign ministry said four commercial vessels were targeted by “sabotage operations” near the territorial waters of the United Arab Emirates without causing casualties. It gave no details of the nature of the sabotage.

Footage please...someone had a camera on these attacks—all tankers have security cameras 🎥 💋

Oh, the slaves of USA are speaking out what their masters told them to do. Very surprising ...

so what are they going to do about it ?

Is this start of false flag attacks? IsraeliCrimes

Guess who did it 👇🏻

War was never the most inexpensive solution as far as history is concerned. Perhaps they have too much money and can enjoy a war?

I guess reporters and journalists are not keen to go confirm anything they say. I wouldn't be. 🤬😡

False flag incident 1

commit war & atrocities ... get attacked back. That's too bad. Live by the scimitar, die by the scimitar, as the ancient saying goes

How convenient....

Don't know about anyone else...but seems the Saudi's owe Trump one for covering up the murder of Washington Post Journalist...could this be the payback...giving a reason to attack Iran? It's a set up.

...or just a political move to have the right to blame and punish iran, and 'being forced' to take actions like uniting all arabs plus israel, exiting oil through mediterranean and opposing iran?

Same song again : low oil prices for 6 months, then incident in the middle east around Israel. If not enough direct threat in the gulf. As a result prices hike and some people/companies make money. Guess who...

Attacked by Iran because They were heading to the US

😱😱

Iran? Qatar?

PKinbangkok Beware: The Saudis and Israelis will say and do anything to push their useful idiot Trump into a war with Iran.

Two questions 1- Are those two tankers where they should be/where they always be? 2- Are they insured? When the words UAE/Canada are mentioned I'm always ichey for 'insurance fraud & Money Laundery' 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

FALSE FLAG incident cooking. Pompeo even 'warned' everybody about it. The same old pattern of American aggression abroad.

That dirty oil better not leak into the marine ecosystems you greedy bunch of monsters! saudinews50_en oilspillexperts USSaudiForum Shell

No damage, no one died, nothing spilled, according to reports.

Everything is going as planned...

O God ,thanks for this news...

and surprisingly it wasn't us committing these atrocious human rights violations?

Near the Gulf of Tonkin?
