With reports coming in of explosions heard in Bandar Abbas in Iran, the fleet of tankers stationed in the UAE have gotten airborne as a group, potentially with the UAE either fearing further Iranian attacks, or supporting a potential UAE retaliation (there is no confirmation of this presently, but the UAE have said they reserve the right to respond for recent Iranian attacks).
