The attack resulted in the death of one Indian crew member, injuries to eight others, and material damage to the vessels. The UAE described the incident as a violation of international law and announced it might respond to the attack, emphasizing its readiness to defend its sovereignty and interests. Concurrently, the United States conducted strikes against Iranian targets, prompting Iran to launch missiles at Bahrain and Jordan-four of which Jordan&#8217;s forces intercepted. The escalation of hostilities indicates increased tensions in the Middle East, with regional and international actors involved in retaliatory actions and diplomatic concerns.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Iran attacked two tankers belonging to the United Arab Emirates on Monday as conflict reignited across the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it attacked two \u201cnon-compliant\u201d ships, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/international\/5966855-uae-tankers-targeted-iranian-forces\/\">The Hill<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The IRGC added that the \u201coffending supertankers\u201d were disabled in the Strait of Hormuz, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/middle-east\/iran-news\/article-902418\">The Jerusalem Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The IRGC claimed the ships ignored warnings and turned off their navigation systems as they sought to pass through the strait.<\/p>\n<p>The statement said the U.S. was \u201cinciting vessels to use an illegal route,\u201d and that cooperation with an \u201caggressor enemy\u201d would lead to damage and a delay in Iran allowing the strait to reopen.<\/p>\n<p>The UAE said it may respond to the attack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Ministry of Defense announces that the national tankers Mombasa and Al Bahiyah were targeted by two Iranian cruise missiles while transiting the southern shipping lane of the Strait of Hormuz, within Omani territorial waters,\u201d the UAE <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/modgovae\/status\/2076804834754453830?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">posted on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe attack resulted in the death of one Indian crew member aboard the Mombasa tanker and the injury of eight others, including four who sustained serious injuries.
