Iranian missile targets UAE oil giant ADNOC vessel in the Strait of Hormuz despite the negotiations with Oman. Iran targeted a vessel owned by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, despite ongoing talks with Oman over how to manage the disputed waterway. The blockade was reinstated on July 14 after Iran targeted ships in the strait and a ceasefire between the two sides fell apart. The Saudis have been attacked by both Iran and the Houthi rebel group, an Iranian proxy, in Yemen. Iran launched a missile strike on a tanker belonging to the state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company while it was transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
