US, UK und Israel belasten den Iran wegen der Angriffe

August 2, 2021 - Die Vereinigten Staaten und Britannien beschuldigen den Iran, dass er mit Drohnen einen Tanker unter israelischer Leitung vor der Küste desOmans angegriffen hat. Dabei sind zwei Mann der Crew, ein Brite und ein Rumäne, getötet worden. Der Iran bestreitet jegliche Beteiligung an dem Vorfall.

The strike on the Mercer Street marked the first-known fatal attack after years of assaults on commercial shipping in the region linked to tensions with Iran over its tattered nuclear deal.

While no one has claimed responsibility for the attack, Iran and its militia allies have used so-called “suicide” drones in attacks previously, which crash into targets and detonate their explosive payloads. However, Israel, the UK and the responding U.S. Navy have yet to show physical evidence from the strike or offer intelligence information on why they blame Tehran.
