Just "oil tanker traffic" thru the Persian Gulf.
Territorial disputes between Iran and Iraq, to include the Persian Gulf, which was also known as the "tanker war."
That is the Persian Gulf.
The Mega Borg tanker spilled oil into the Gulf of Mexico in 1990.
It was not an oil tanker, but a drilling platform.
Probably not, the US was the primary supplier of military forces to keep the Persian Gulf sea lanes open (was called the "Tanker Wars" by the press).

Kuwait is on the coast of the Persian Gulf, which is an arm off the Arabian Sea. The tanker would pass from the Gulf into the Arabian Sea.
Surprisingly, the Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991, commonly called the Gulf War in the United States and the Second Gulf War in Arab Countries, was fought in the Persian Gulf, a body of water bordering the nations of Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, and Iran. The name of the Persian Gulf comes form Iran's name in antiquity: Persia.
