UAE Says Iran Attacked Two Oil Ships in a Vital Waterway

The UAE accused Iran of attacking two oil ships in the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow sea passage critical to world energy shipments, on 13 August 2026. No one was hurt; Iran hasn't responded. The UAE's oil company says 15 of its ships have been hit there since the US-Israel war on Iran began in February. The UAE called the attacks "piracy" and warned of risks to global energy supplies.
