The strike caused a fire on the vessel, which was carrying natural gas from Qatar. No casualties have been reported following the attack.
Iranian state television reported that the tanker came under attack after ignoring warnings. While the broadcast implied that Tehran carried out the assault, no direct responsibility for the attack has been declared.
