Saudi Arabia condemned what it described as an Iranian attack on the Bahri-owned very large crude carrier Sidr in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday night that killed two Filipino sailors. Bahri said the Saudi-flagged tanker was involved in a security incident at about 23:40 local time while transiting the waterway, and the Saudi foreign ministry denounced Iran’s targeting of the vessel together with recent Iranian attacks on Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait. Maritime security firms reported Sidr was hit by unknown projectiles about 16 nautical miles north-east of Khasab, Oman, while the South Korean-owned Senegal Prosperity was struck by three unknown projectiles east of Musandam around the same time; each tanker had loaded about two million barrels of Saudi crude. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said two oil tankers caught fire after striking mines on what Tehran called an unauthorized route urged by the U.S. military. The episode came as the United States and Iran exchanged fire again and crude oil prices moved above $95 a barrel. U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said more than 17 million barrels of oil passed through the strait on Monday, calling it a record since the conflict began, while ship-tracking service Kpler reported traffic declined sharply to just five ships that day. Independent figures from the IMF, Oxford University and TankerTrackers.com have shown far lower activity than White House claims of dozens of nightly crossings under U.S. Navy escort, with TankerTrackers estimating about 4.9 million barrels a day on average since a mid-July ceasefire collapsed. President Donald Trump asserted U.S. control of the waterway and floated renaming it the “Trump Strait,” as trackers noted much of the limited traffic uses a more northern route closer to Iranian waters.
