The USA said tonight that Iran was behind the "torpedo attack" on an American-linked oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman.
Both the Front Altair and the Panama-flagged Kokuka Courageous - which was reportedly bombed - burst into flames and were forced to evacuate in the troubled region this morning.
And now, in comments bound to ignite tensions between the two countries, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blamed Iran for the "blatant" attacks.
He said they were part of a "campaign" of "escalating tension" by Iran and a threat to international peace and security.
"It is the assessment of the United States government that the Islamic Republic of Iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the Gulf of Oman today," Pompeo told reporters.

Israel must be behind this. After all they have a vested interest in destabilizing the region and forming Greater Israel.
It may have been, but was definitely inflamed by the press.

The Iranians are religious zealots and don't have complete control over their terrorist splinter cells. It is as simple as that. Iranian terrrorist Muzzie scum.
