An Iranian oil tanker that burst into flames after a collision with a cargo ship off China’s coast sank yesterday, state media said.

Sanchi “suddenly ignited” around midday yesterday, eight days after the collision with a Hong Kongregist­ered bulk freighter, China’s transport ministry said. A Tehran official had already said that there was no hope of saving the 30 crewmen.
