The American administration's response has been immediate through the statement of Secretary of State Mike Pompeii, who directly accused Tehran of the attacks.
The assessment of the United States is that the Islamic Republic of Iran is responsible for attacks”, Pompeo said, which followed by saying that “the assessment is based on data of the secret services, and on the weapons used and the level of expertise needed. This is only the last of a series of attacks by Iran against American interests”.
The State Secretary refers to last month's events, where four such ships were attacked in Arab Emirates, where Iran and his allies were indicted in that case.
Iranian sources, meanwhile, deny any involvement in the serious act, which unfortunately caused no casualties in the giant crew.
Oil prices on the international market rose by 4% after news of the attacks.
