Iran Missile Strikes On Two UAE Tankers Kill One In Hormuz
Two cruise missiles hit the Mombasa and Al Bahiyah in Omani waters, injuring eight, mostly Indian and Ukrainian crew, UAE says.
- Mombasa and Al Bahiyah were hit by two Iranian cruise missiles on July 14.
- Six Indian nationals and two Ukrainians were injured; four sustained serious wounds.
- UAE calls the strikes piracy, a violation of UN Resolution 2817, demands Iran reopen Hormuz.
Why it matters: Two missiles in a lane a few miles wide can move the price of oil worldwide.
