 It doesn't surprise me that Israel may be responsible for the explosion and subsequent oil spill. It wouldn't be the first time the Jewish State has put it's politics and military actions above environmental and humanitarian concerns. I hope the UN continues to keep a critical eye on Israel as much as they do Iran. Neither side is guiltless, and we may see more of such disasters to come.

Terrorism by independent actors seems unlikely, unless a radical group in Egypt or the Sinai has missiles and the ability to launch them.
This. Exactly. Neither side in a conflict is a saint, but neither side is totally culpable either

This is going to be an interesting development if everyone starts taking potshots at each others' tankers.

Just some Saudi Generals getting some payback. I can see a major Tanker war kicking off soon or worse and its all due to Irans antics.

 This I don't believe. Israel would be insane to do that. And they aren't insane.
Agree 100%, Israel is one of the smartest countrys atm imo. And what should they accomplish by this right now? It just seems to bs for me.

There is no legitimate reason for Israel to attack an oil tanker with missiles.

Tehran has confirmed that an Iranian-owned oil tanker, the Sinopa, was attacked in the Red Sea, and that the mysterious strike caused an oil spill. The vessel was reportedly hit by two missiles.
