Two sailors missing after tanker attacked in Strait of Hormuz, Oman says
- On Monday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed the Panama-flagged El Gaia struck a naval mine in the Strait of Hormuz, but U.S. Central Command branded the assertion "false," stating an Iranian drone struck the vessel over the weekend.
- India's Ministry of External Affairs confirmed Sunday that El Gaia was attacked off the Omani coast, with 13 of 14 Indian crew members rescued and one still missing, according to ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal.
- CENTCOM reported the tanker sustained damage from an Iranian missile last month and is currently being towed by a regional partner. The U.S. accused the IRGC of spreading "false claims" to intimidate commercial shipping and disrupt navigation.
- Iranian-Backed Houthis attacked Saudi Arabian cities including Khamis Mushait, Abha, and Taif on Monday using missiles and drones, injuring 13 civilians and damaging seven homes.
- Planned talks regarding the Strait of Hormuz between Iran and Gulf Cooperation Council states were postponed Monday at Saudi Arabia's request, with officials citing "developments in Yemen" as a diversion from underlying causes.
