BREAKING: Dozens rescued as U.S. Navy responds to 'reported attack' on tankers off Iran's coast
American military vessels were "rendering assistance" Thursday following two distress calls in the stretch of water that separates Oman and the United Arab Emirates from Iran, the U.S. 5th Fleet said.
An explosion and a fire occurred aboard one of the damaged tankers, with the cost of oil later jumping as much as 4 percent.
Last month, four oil tankers from Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Norway were damaged in the same area. All three countries said that incident was the work of a "state actor."
