“U.S. Probes Iran Link to Cyberattacks on Texas-Bound Energy Tankers,” WSJ, 9-17-26.  “The two tankers were transiting the Strait of Gibraltar in early August when they were hit by the attacks. The ships—an oil tanker and a liquefied petroleum tanker—were making their way to ports in Texas at the time, according to tracking data and one of the officials. The location of the attacks and the destination of the tankers has raised the prospect that Iran or an Iran-aligned actor could be seeking to disrupt another key maritime chokepoint or blow up a U.S. port. Ships run on integrated systems that, if compromised, could result in an explosion, a collision or an oil spill. … Iran’s semiofficial news outlet Mehr News reported on the incident in August. Citing crew members, it said the attackers infiltrated the VL Prosperity’s engine-room systems, reduced the engine’s cooling flow, increased the engine speed, and disabled the ship’s fuel and engine-oil tank. It said no group had claimed responsibility for the incident.”
