By Mohamed Ezz, Marwa Rashad and Jonathan Saul CAI By Mohamed Ezz, Marwa Rashad and Jonathan Saul CAIRO/LONDON, July 30 (Reuters) – A drone caused the fire that engulfed two gas vessels at Egypt’s Mediterranean port of Damietta, the Egyptian cabinet said on Thursday, confirming that the blaze which erupted a day earlier was the result of an attack rather than an accident. No party has claimed responsibility for the incident which happened not far from the Suez Canal that has become the last safe evacuation route for Saudi oil to global markets. Authorities were continuing their investigations and taking necessary measures to protect Egypt’s national security, the cabinet added. British maritime security firm Ambrey said on Wednesday that a drone had hit a U.S.-owned gas storage tanker at the port, in an initial assessment that raised concerns about a further spread of conflict across the Middle East. Three trading sources familiar with the incident said the drone hit floating storage tanker Energos Winter, causing a fire that spread to another vessel, Gaslog Salem. The Energos Winter was reportedly struck on its starboard side, causing a fire that was extinguished, British maritime risk management group Vanguard said. Egypt’s petroleum ministry said in a statement on Wednesday that the fires at the port were dealt with immediately by firefighting and security teams and caused no injuries or fatalities. Petroleum Minister Karim Badawi went to the site to oversee response efforts, it said. The drone strike occurred shortly after Iran carried out a missile attack against U.S. forces in Jordan, and Washington and Saudi Arabia struck Iran-backed paramilitary groups in Iraq.
WASHINGTON, July 30 (Reuters) – The United States WASHINGTON, July 30 (Reuters) – The United States on Thursday issued new sanctions on Thursday targeting global networks supporting Mahan Air, the Iranian carrier Washington says transports Iran‘s Revolutionary Guards personnel, as well as weapons and drones. The U.S. Treasury designated six entities and individuals in China, India, Russia and Iran, including several companies that act as sales agents for the U.S.- and E.U.-sanctioned airline, the department said in a statement. The move comes as a drone strike on gas vessels in Egypt’s Mediterranean port of Damietta signalled a potential new front in the U.S.-Iran war, raising the prospect of threats to navigation through the Suez Canal, one of the last remaining export routes for Saudi oil. Treasury said it was also sanctioning a front company associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that has supported Iran‘s “kinetic targeting” during the war. Thursday’s action “further disrupts the network underpinning Iran’s destabilizing activities across the region,” Treasury said. (Reporting by Andrea Shalal; Writing by Ryan Patrick Jones)
Following Senator Lindsey Graham’s memorial servic Following Senator Lindsey Graham’s memorial service in Washington, journalist Nicholas Ballasy posed a pointed question to Prince Reza Pahlavi: what course should the United States now chart as tensions with the Islamic Republic continue to intensify?

By Marwa Rashad, Mohamed Ezz, Yasmine Ghania and N By Marwa Rashad, Mohamed Ezz, Yasmine Ghania and Nandita Bose LONDON/CAIRO/WASHINGTON, July 29 (Reuters) – The U.S. carried out fresh strikes in Iran on Wednesday, the U.S. military said, further intensifying a five-month-old war that was already expanding beyond its main fronts to embroil additional countries in the region. “U.S. forces began launching strikes against Iran at 8:00 p.m. ET today (0000 GMT),” U.S. Central Command said in a statement. “The strikes are a powerful response to yesterday’s attempted Iranian attacks on U.S. forces based in the Middle East.” Earlier on Wednesday, a drone hit a U.S.-owned gas storage tanker at Egypt’s Mediterranean port of Damietta, British maritime security firm Ambrey said in an initial assessment, while U.S. and Saudi forces launched strikes against Iran-aligned groups in eastern Iraq and Iran fired missiles at U.S. troops in Jordan.
By Kanishka Singh and Jasper Ward WASHINGTON, July By Kanishka Singh and Jasper Ward WASHINGTON, July 29 (Reuters) – The U.S. military said on Wednesday it completed its latest wave of strikes on Iran, which lasted two hours and hit dozens of targets, with Washington casting the strikes as a “powerful response” to Iranian missiles launched towards U.S. forces in the Middle East a day earlier. The U.S. military said on Tuesday it intercepted multiple ballistic missiles ​launched by Iran towards U.S. forces in what Washington called ‌”an attempted surprise attack” by Tehran. Iran confirmed it had fired on U.S. bases in Jordan. President Donald Trump said after the missiles were intercepted that U.S. forces would retaliate. “We’re going to hit them very hard,” he said. The U.S. Central Command described the latest strikes on X as “a powerful response to yesterday’s attempted Iranian attacks on U.S. forces based in the Middle East.” The Central Command said the American strikes began at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday (0000 GMT on Thursday) and ended at 10 p.m. ET (0200 GMT on Thursday). “CENTCOM assets struck dozens of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets in Iran, including military command centers, missile and drone facilities, coastal surveillance and defense sites, and maritime capabilities,” the U.S. Central Command said in a statement on Wednesday.
