Reuters — Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) are "highly likely" to have facilitated attacks last Sunday on four tankers, including two Saudi ships, off Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates, according to a Norwegian insurers' report.
The UAE, Saudi Arabia and Norway are investigating the attacks, which also hit a UAE- and a Norwegian-flagged vessel.
A confidential assessment issued this past week by the Norwegian Shipowners' Mutual War Risks Insurance Association (DNK) concluded that the attack was likely to have been carried out by a surface vessel operating close by that dispatched underwater drones carrying 30 to 50 kg (65 to 110 pounds) of high-grade explosives to detonate on impact.
