Limpet mines used in tanker attack resemble ones displayed by Iran, U.S. Navy expert says

The comments by Cmdr. Sean Kido came as the Navy showed reporters pieces of debris and a magnet they say Iran’s Revolutionary Guard left behind when they spirited away an unexploded limpet mine after the June 13 attack in the Gulf of Oman. Iran has also not acknowledged taking the mine.

Iran recently has quadrupled its production of low-enriched uranium and threatened to boost its enrichment closer to weapons-grade levels, trying to pressure Europe for new terms to the 2015 deal. The U.S. Navy briefed foreign journalists on Wednesday at a 5th Fleet base near Fujairah, an Emirati port city some 210 kilometres northeast of the capital, Abu Dhabi. There, they showed journalists debris recovered from the Kokuka Courageous, which they described as including aluminum and composite metals.They also showed a magnet they described as being left behind by the Revolutionary Guard – one of six apparently used to stick the unexploded limpet mine to the ship’s hull.

According to the semi-official Fars news agency, Hatami questioned the authenticity of a grainy video released by the U.S. following the attack and purporting to show Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces removing an unexploded limpet mine from one of the tankers.“The date and the location shown in the footage have not been authenticated,” he said. The Americans “can show any footage ... but it cannot be used as evidence.

Authorities also recovered a hand print and fingerprints, he said. “We recovered biometric information ... which can be used to build a criminal case to hold the individuals responsible accountable.” He did not offer more details.

At this point I don't the the US Navy has any credibility, can we publish a real story not push the war hungry US navy's agenda.
