US releases new images showing Iran’s Revolutionary Guard removing unexploded mine from Japanese owned tanker
The US military has released new images it says show Iran’s Revolutionary Guard removing an unexploded limpet mine from a Japanese-owned tanker that was attacked last week in the Gulf of Oman.
“Iran is responsible for the attack based on video evidence and the resources and proficiency needed to quickly remove the unexploded limpet mine,” the US military’s Central Command said in a statement.
Despite British and US intelligence findings, Germany and others insisted on Monday it needed a clearer picture before wading into a row which could have serious implications in the Middle East.
