A Palau-flagged oil tanker under U.S. sanctions was hit off Oman’s coast, injuring four people, the country’s maritime security center said, without specifying what hit the vessel. The incidents mark the first time targets in or near Oman have been hit following a wave of retaliatory strikes by Tehran on Gulf states after joint U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran that have plunged the region into a new war. 
 
Reuters confirmed the identity of the vessel as Skylight by its deck shape, paint, and signage, which matched file imagery. The exact time when the video was filmed could not be independently verified. However, Oman’s maritime security center said that Skylight was attacked about five nautical miles off Oman’s Musandam on March 1. Ship tracking data puts the vessel off the coast of Oman on March 1.
