U.S. Boats Attack Iran Oil Tanker in Gulf - TV
TEHRAN (Reuters) - U.S. speedboats attacked an
Iranian-registered Saudi oil tanker in the Gulf on
Wednesday injuring two people, Iran's state television
reported.

Iran's Foreign Ministry summoned the Swiss ambassador,
whose country represents U.S. interests in Iran, later
on Wednesday to deliver Tehran's ``strong protest''
and demand explanation, it said.

The television did not give any details on the attack.

The Swiss envoy told an Iranian Foreign Ministry
official that the American boats had mistaken the
tanker for an Iraqi vessel smuggling oil, according to
the television.

U.S. forces are patrolling the Gulf to enforce
sanctions imposed on Iraq by the United Nations after
Baghdad's 1990 invasion of Kuwait.
