The United States accused Iran of attacking tankers, showing a video of "evidence"
The United States officially announced that Iran was involved in a new attack on tankers in the Gulf of Oman. This statement was made by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, emphasizing that he bases his position on US intelligence data.
In turn, Tehran completely rejects any such allegations against the US authorities. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Jawad Zarif claims the US’s allegations against the country are unfounded.
- emphasized the head of the Iranian diplomatic department.
Recall that on June 13, two tankers were attacked in the Gulf of Oman - Front Altair transported oil by order of the state company of Taiwan, and the second tanker belonged to a Japanese company and transported methanol.
US intelligence agencies, arguing the accusations against Iran, use a video that shows how a patrol boat of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps approached a tanker and the Iranian military removed an unexploded mine from it.
A logical question arises, for what purpose is Iran to attack tankers? Indeed, given the attitude of the United States and Saudi Arabia towards Tehran, it was immediately clear that Iran was accused of what had happened.
Most likely, there is a provocation organized by special services of countries interested in further isolation of Iran. There are not so many such countries, but they have a great influence in the region - this is Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and, naturally, the United States itself.

I warned about this scenario a few months ago. And not because I'm clairvoyant, but because I see the developers of this plan,
