Russia on Thursday warned against rushing to attribute
blame for a suspected attack on oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, and
said the incident should not be used to stoke tensions with Tehran,
Russia's state-run RIA news agency reported.
Two oil tankers were attacked, leaving one ablaze and both adrift, shipping firms said, driving oil prices as much as 4 percent higher over worries about Middle East supplies. The attacks were the second in a month near the Strait of Hormuz, a major strategic waterway for world oil supplies.
"I would take the opportunity to warn against hasty conclusions, against attempts to lay the blame at the door of those we don't like," the agency quoted Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov as saying.
