# UAE blames Iran for Hormuz vessel attack as Lebanon strikes kill nine 2026-08-15T12:46:58+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The UAE accused Iran of attacking an ADNOC-linked tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, with no injuries reported. It was the third attack on ADNOC-operated vessels in the waterway in a week, according to state news agency WAM. The UK Maritime Trade Operations centre reported that a bulk carrier was hit by an unknown projectile, but said it was unclear whether it was the same vessel. Shipping through the strait, which carried about one-fifth of global traded oil and gas before the war, has been severely disrupted. Israeli airstrikes killed at least nine people in southern Lebanon, including three children, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry and state news agency. Israel said it targeted Hezbollah infrastructure. In Yemen, the military said Houthi forces fired six ballistic missiles at Mokha port, killing one security guard, wounding eight and leaving two marines missing. The attacks come despite ceasefires or truces in Lebanon and Yemen. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in - greaterkashmir.com Tags: ADNOC, Iran, Lebanon, Strait of Hormuz, UAE, Yemen Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/uae-blames-iran-for-adnoc-linked-tanker-attack-in-hormuz/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
