Qatar says Iran fully responsible after tankers struck in strait of Hormuz

Three vessels, including a Qatari LNG carrier, struck within hours close to Oman

Qatar has warned Iran it will bear full legal responsibility after three tankers, including a Qatari LNG vessel, were struck within hours in the strait of Hormuz.

All three vessels were struck close to Oman which had suggested a new shipping corridor close to its coastline - a proposal opposed by Iran, which wants to charge ships using the waterway.
