Israel blames Iran for attack on tanker off Oman coast that killed twoIsrael's foreign minister blames Iran for an attack on an Israeli-managed petroleum product tanker off the coast of Oman that killed 2 people. Israel will get it's revenge. They always do. I wish they would take the gloves off but watch them defend themselves in the very near future. You do know they allow the leader of Iran to exist. Good for their cause Isreali army just called a 12 year old boy as then attacked mourners at his funeral. They are guilty of apartheid and genocide. Its Israel problem not America's problem. I do not trust Israel intelligence since they were the same ones that claimed WMD that were never found.
