•A Palau-flagged oil tanker, 'Skylight', was attacked off Oman’s Musandam Governorate amid escalating Gulf tensions.
•The vessel was struck about five nautical miles north of Khasab Port; four crew members sustained injuries.
•All 20 crew members, including 15 Indian and 5 Iranian nationals, were safely evacuated.
•The attack follows Israeli-US strikes that reportedly killed Iranian Army Chief of Staff and Defence Minister.
•Israel's 'Operation Roaring Lion' also claimed the life of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, leading to Iranian retaliation on US-linked targets.
