Israel’s national public broadcaster Kan News has obtained audio from Tuesday to Wednesday’s harrowing events aboard the Panama-flagged tanker Asphalt Princess, believed to have briefly been under Iranian military control and headed for the Islamic Republic’s territorial waters in the Persian Gulf.
In the short audio recording released Wednesday crew of the distressed Asphalt Princess vessel are heard communicating with the UAE Coast Guard, frantically saying that between five and six armed Iranians were on board during the ordeal.
