New video shows the moment an oil tanker burst into flames in the Persian Gulf late Wednesday night. The ship is believed to be one of two foreign oil tankers Iraqi officials say were attacked in Iraqi waters. Iran claimed responsibility for the attack, according to state media, noting that it used an underwater drone. The strike comes as several oil tankers have been targeted in the Gulf as fears grow over disruptions to the global oil supply. thenationaldesk.com/news/americas-news-now/iran-escalates-war-at-sea-as-cargo-ships-tankers-burn-in-strait-of-hormuz-oil-surges-past-100-international-energy-agency-uk-maritime-trade-operations-persian-gulf-united-states-israel-strikes-president-trump# #straitofhormuz #persiangulf #iran #oil #economy -------------------------------------- The National Desk (TND) brings you award-winning local storytelling from Sinclair Broadcast Group's local TV newsrooms across the United States and feeds from sources throughout the world.
