Dubai: UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dr Anwar Gargash said at a press conference on Wednesday evening that the UAE was working with its partners to conclude the investigation into acts of sabotage against four oil tankers off the coast of Fujairah on Sunday. He added the country will show restraint and is committed to de-escalation during a “difficult situation” caused by Iranian behaviour in the region.

Depends on how sophisticated the attacks were.
Anyone know the nature of the sabotage? Holes drilled in a bulkhead? Or just the ole “gear oil on the gangplank” gag?
The pics of the ships show their hulls ruptured inward from an explosion. I’m thinking limpet mine.
Thanks. The articles I skimmed never described the attack or damage. I didn’t think to search pics.
1000 words.
“The pics of the ships show their hulls ruptured inward from an explosion. I’m thinking limpet mine.”
Or the pilot backed into a pier. I’m still skeptical.
