Iran denies it was responsible for tanker attacks; slams U.S. accusation as “baseless”
Iran has denied responsibility for the attacks carried out early yesterday morning on two tankers in the Gulf of Oman, the sea immediately adjacent to the Strait of Hormuz. A spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry slammed the U.S. accusations as “baseless”. Maritime security experts say commercial ships are impossible to defend.
