Title: Blame and denial
Post by: BazaJT on 13 June 2019, 12:59:22

It has been reported that two oil tankers are on fire in the Gulf of Oman,the suspicion is that they were hit by torpedoes :o Tehran have said the tankers were carrying Japan[who are still exporting oil to Iran despite American sanctions]related cargo.Investigations are underway to determine the exact cause but no doubt fingers will be pointed and denials made,but who knows where this could lead.

Hard to explain, apparently. As would be an explosion at one of Iran's refineries.  :)
