The United Arab Emirates has broken with its U.S. and Saudi allies in declining to blame Iran for an apparent attack on four tankers last month, citing a lack of proof.
The U.S. quickly blamed Iran for the attack, which hit four vessels—one Emirati, one Norwegian and two Saudi—in the Gulf of Oman, which connects the Persian Gulf to the world's most important oil chokepoint, the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran has denied any involvement in the incident, which came at a time of heightened tensions in the region that have only further mounted since a second unclaimed attack hit two ships this month and Iran downed a U.S. Navy drone last week.
When the second set of attacks occurred on June 13, targeting a Norwegian and Japanese vessel, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo released a statement that very same day claiming"Iran is responsible," basing this assessment"on intelligence, the weapons used, the level of expertise needed to execute the operation, recent similar Iranian attacks on shipping, and the fact that no proxy group operating in the area has the resources and proficiency to act with such a high degree of...

Is Trump’s Iran policy leading to war?The relationship between Iran and the U.S. has worsened since the Trump administration pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions. A June 13 attack on two oil tankers that the U.S. blamed on Iran set off a sequence of retaliation. After Iran shot down a U.S. drone, President Trump considered bombing Iran, but called it off at the last minute. \n\nTrump believes the threats of military action combined with the sanctions will force Iran to go back to the bargaining table. Trump wants a tougher new accord. He has said he doesn't want war, but his national security adviser, John Bolton, has been publicly calling for an attack on Iran for more than a decade. TheStephSy With Khomeini Iran yes Unscrupulousness and cowardice of European libidemo, this is what can lead to war. Hope is only for the Jewish diaspora in the financial elite of the geyropy. realDonaldTrump FLOTUS GOP TheJusticeDept WhiteHouse trump you think he wants to negotiate with you?!?! Seriously?! Ha!
