The Sabiti belongs to the National Iranian Oil Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The attack on the Iranian oil tanker follows the September 14 attack on Saudi Aramco\u2019s oil infrastructure that took offline nearly 6 million bpd of production. Tensions in the Middle East have been flaring up as the United States continues to sanction Iran\u2019s oil industry for noncompliance with the nuclear deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran Claims To Have Video Evidence Of Oil Tanker Attacks By\u00a0&#8211; Oct 16, 2019, 2:30 PM CDTJoin Our Community Iran has claimed that it has footage of last week\u2019s attack on its oil tanker while off the Saudi Arabian Jeddah port, and it proves that the attacks were carried out by Israel, Saudi Arabia, and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[441,1049,11731,3040,701,9324],"class_list":["post-49020","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-geopolitics","tag-iran","tag-israel","tag-julianne-geiger","tag-missiles","tag-saudi-arabia","tag-un-security-council"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49020","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=49020"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49020\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49021,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49020\/revisions\/49021"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=49020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=49020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=49020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
