Oil tankers hit by 'sabotage attacks' as Gulf tensions soar

Four ships, including two Saudi oil tankers, were damaged in mysterious "sabotage attacks" that further inflamed Gulf tensions on Monday amid a standoff between the United States and Iran. In the face of growing international concern, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo scrapped a planned visit to Moscow to head to Brussels instead for talks with European officials on Iran. Britain warned of the danger of conflict erupting "by accident" in the Gulf.
