Iranian missile hits oil tanker in Qatar, defence ministry
/100
Qatar's Ministry of Defence reports that three cruise missiles launched from Iran struck Qatari waters; two were intercepted and a third hit an oil tanker leased to Qatar Energy, with the 21-person crew evacuated and no casualties reported. This represents a direct attack on commercial energy shipping in Gulf waters and is a significant escalation in an already high-tension Iran–Gulf State missile crisis, increasing risks of maritime retaliation, wider military responses, and economic/environmental fallout.
