(Bloomberg) -- A shipping incident in the Gulf of Oman, roughly halfway between Iran and the United Arab Emirates, has been upgraded to a “potential hijack,” according to the U.K.’s UKMTO, which monitors shipping in the region.
Last week, an Israeli-operated tanker was struck in a drone attack in roughly the same area, killing two crew members. The U.S., U.K. and Israel all blamed Iran and vowed to respond.
