Outlets disagree on this: The earlier cluster recorded the GCC Secretary-General condemning an Iranian attack on an ADNOC vessel; new BBC reporting describes a separate Iranian attack on a Saudi-owned supertanker (Sidr), with Iran contesting responsibility by claiming the vessel struck mines on an unauthorised route, indicating a pattern of disputed attribution for tanker incidents in the strait.
