Two separate blasts, possibly caused by missiles, hit the Iranian oil tanker near Jeddah on Friday.
The explosions hit the vessel’s hull, causing heavy damages to its two main tanks, which resulted in an oil spill in the Red Sea.
Tehran has called the move a “dangerous adventure” warning that all the responsibilities fall on those behind it.
