The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed an attack on a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, The National reported in its Middle East live updates. The report attributes the claim to the IRGC but offers no further details about the tanker or the alleged attack.
The live updates page was updated on October 10, 2026, at 4:02 a.m. The tanker claim appeared among several developing news items. The report doesn’t say whether the tanker suffered damage, name its owner or destination, or describe the circumstances of the alleged attack.
The IRGC Claim
The reported development is the IRGC’s claim, not a separate account of what happened to the vessel. The National places the alleged attack in the Strait of Hormuz, but gives no information about any weapon or projectile, the crew, casualties, or a response to the claim.
Those details aren’t included. The report also doesn’t say whether anyone independently verified the claim or whether another party confirmed it. So the available account establishes what the IRGC claimed and where the alleged attack was said to have occurred, but nothing more about the operation.
Other Developing News
The same live updates page listed attacks on Riyadh airport among its other developing news. The item doesn’t connect those attacks to the tanker claim or provide details about them.
The page also listed falling oil prices. It doesn’t say the price movement followed the alleged tanker attack, and it supplies no figures or further explanation for the change.
An Israeli air strike in Lebanon’s Hermel region appeared as another item. The report provides no details about the strike and doesn’t link it to the IRGC’s claim in the Strait of Hormuz.
The listed developments also included a Qatar Airways flight returning to Doha and a vessel attacked by an unknown projectile off the UAE coast. The source doesn’t identify that vessel or say who launched the projectile. It treats that incident separately from the IRGC’s tanker claim and doesn’t state that the attacks were related.
The report’s account is limited. The IRGC claimed an attack on a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, and The National included that claim in a live updates page updated at 4:02 a.m. on October 10, 2026. The page also listed other developing news, without details establishing a connection among the items. No further information about the tanker incident appears in the provided report.
