Iran's foreign ministry spokesman says the incidents near the coast of Fujairah are"worrisome and dreadful" and calls for an investigation into the matter.Saudi Arabia said on Monday that two Saudi oil tankers were among vessels targeted by a "sabotage attack" off the coast of the United Arab Emirates , condemning it as an attempt to undermine the security of global crude supplies.
The UAE said on Sunday that four commercial vessels were hit by sabotage near the emirate of Fujairah, one of the world's largest bunkering hubs lying just outside the Strait of Hormuz. Iran called for an investigation into the "alarming" attacks and warned of "adventurism" by foreign players to disrupt maritime security.

Falih said the attack aimed to undermine maritime freedom and "security of oil supplies to consumers all over the world".
