A fully laden Kuwaiti oil tanker, Al-Salmi, has been hit by Iranian forces off the coast of Dubai. The attack is a significant escalation as tensions between Iran and its allies continue to rise. Fortunately, all 24 crew members on board are safe, with no oil leaking from the vessel. This incident comes amid increased violence in the region, with the US and Israel conducting airstrikes against Iranian targets over the past month.
