What we know about the Gulf tanker attacks

Suspected attacks left two tankers in flames in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday, bumping up oil prices and further raising regional tensions triggered by a bitter US-Iran standoff. The ships were struck in the same strategic sea lane where four oil vessels were sabotaged last month in attacks Washington blamed on Tehran. In the early hours of Thursday, two vessels transiting through the Strait of Hormuz towards the Indian Ocean caught fire.
