The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday condemned the Iranian attack targeting two Emirati oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, within Omani territorial waters, which resulted in the death of one crew member and injuries to several others.
In a statement, the ministry said the attacks constitute a flagrant violation of international law and the principle of freedom of navigation, warning that such actions further escalate regional tensions and threaten security and stability at both the regional and international levels.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry reiterated its full solidarity with the United Arab Emirates in the face of any attack targeting its sovereignty, security, or stability, stressing the importance of respecting international law and ensuring the safety and security of maritime navigation.
According to reports, Iranian missiles struck the oil tankers Mombasa and Al Bahiyah yesterday while they were transiting the southern shipping lane of the Strait of Hormuz within Omani waters, killing one crew member aboard the Mombasa and injuring eight others.
