U.S. Naval explosive experts have been onboard an Israeli managed oil tanker after an attack on the ship killed two people. According to the Navy on Saturday, the ship named Mercer Street was being guided by a Navy aircraft carrier and guided missile destroyer to a safe port.

The tanker was targeted late on Thursday off the coast of Oman. Experts said initial indications pointed to a drone-style attack.

On Friday, Israel’s foreign minister blamed Iran for the attack. Iranian state television cited unnamed sources, who claimed the attack came in response to an Israeli attack in Syria earlier this month.
