Two crewmembers died when a tanker connected to an Israeli billionaire was attacked off the coast of Oman, the ship’s management firm said Friday.
A Briton and a Romanian were killed amid what the company described as a “suspected piracy incident” onboard the Mercer Street tanker on Thursday.
A U.S. defense official familiar with the details of the incident said the tanker was attacked by an armed drone believed to be operated by Iran.
