Explosion rips through oil tanker off Saudi Arabia’s coast

"BW Rhine has been hit from an external source whilst discharging at Jeddah... causing an explosion and subsequent fire on board," its owner, Singapore-based shipping company Hafnia, said in a statement. Hafnia reported "hull damage" in the blast, which struck just after midnight on Monday, and did not rule out the possibility of an oil spill.

But it identified the Dominican-flagged tanker Desert Rose or the Saudi-flagged Al Amal Al Saudi as the possible targets.Last month an explosion rocked a Greek-operated oil tanker docked at Saudi Arabia's southern port of Shuqaiq, an attack that a Riyadh-led military coalition blamed on Yemen's Houthi rebels.

The incidents, which underscore the vulnerability of Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure, come as the Houthis escalate attacks on Saudi Arabia in retaliation for the military campaign in Yemen.

Why is this operation (the bombing of the tanker in Jeddah) not a message from the American_administration and Zionist to milking KSA and pressure on it to expedite the declaration of diplomatic relations with the Zionist entity
