The United States could not confirm Iran's involvement in the attack on an Israeli tanker in the Arabian Sea

The United States cannot confirm Iran's involvement in the attack on an Israeli tanker in the northern Indian Ocean. This was announced by the representative of the US State Department Jalina Porter.

According to The Drive, the attack on the tanker Mercer Street, owned by Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer, was carried out by several drones, which led to the death of two crew members - citizens of Britain and Romania. The attack took place on the evening of July 29 at about 21:00 Moscow time, approximately 152 km from the port of Duqm in the Arabian Sea.

Iran is believed to be behind the attack, waging an undeclared war with Israel at sea. This version is confirmed by the report of the Iranian television channel Al Alam TV, which claimed, citing unnamed sources, that the attack on the tanker Mercer Street was carried out in response to an Israeli air strike. aviation across Syrian territory.

However, at the moment, no one has been able to confirm Iran's participation in the attack, including the Americans, since there is no evidence. The US State Department said it was closely monitoring the situation with the tanker and was taking all measures to identify those involved in the attack. In Israel, in turn, they demand a tough response to the attack. Tel Aviv claims that this is the handiwork of Iran.

Iran is not only an Israeli problem, but also an exporter of terrorism, destruction and instability that harm us all. The world must not remain silent in the face of Iranian terrorism, which also damages freedom of navigation

- said Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid.

Currently, the tanker, accompanied by US Navy ships, is heading to a "safe place".

Whoever really wants to find an enemy for himself will always find and punish, regardless of whether there are facts or not, it does not matter ...

what to look for in an old song?

Since late 2019, Israel has struck at least a dozen ships bound for Syria, mostly carrying Iranian oil, out of concern that oil revenues will fund Tehran's extremist activities in the Middle East.

[Shurik70]

When Iran attacks an Israeli tanker, it is, of course, terrorism and a threat to shipping.
When Iranian tankers are seized, it is, of course, the triumph of law and justice.

[Machito]

The main terrorist in the world is the United States.

Damn, why is he Israeli? From the fact that one of the co-owners is an Israeli? And if there are also a Russian and a Brazilian among the co-owners. Then how to count?

Israeli or what?

[tralflot1832]

The tanker is Japanese, and the Zodiac company is the operator. All ends are in the water. Your only cargo and responsibility for the crew. The sea business is such, the devil will break his leg. A space for shenanigans.

The tanker is Japanese, and the Zodiac company is the operator.

The shipping company Zodiac, owned by Israeli businessman Eyal Ofer, has confirmed that it operates the Mercer Street vessel, which was attacked off the coast of Oman the day before. At the same time, it was noted that the actual owners of the vessel are currently the Japanese, and the flag of Liberia.
The operator is not a ship owner. Now in the maritime business, everything is so confused that you will not find an end and an edge - the flag is one, the operator is different, the Register is the third, and the right to property (the actual owner) is the fourth, and in the charter is the fifth.

That's it! And also the crews are mixed. He himself did not work in such, but he often crossed paths in certain drinking houses (and not only institutions) of various countries of the Asia-Pacific region))))
In general, the prospect is so-so. You carry such a watch on the bridge, observe the situation visually and on the radar, sip coffee, smoke a cigarette and ... here you are! Arrives do not understand what and where and "here you are already dead! I do not know about you, but such a prospect scares me to the shit" - x / f "Hot Heads". There are few dangers in the sea, and here's another one being added. went to the contract, and disappeared in a showdown that does not concern you

Here you are, sipping coffee and you have a blank in the bridge! There are few pirates with "Kalash" and "Shaitan pipe" on our heads, and then there is a missile bombing.
I had to wander under different flags, and in mixed crews, and the owners, from Europeans to Arabs. So they are bombing not the owner who sits in the Bahamas, but for us ordinary sailors who have nothing to do with politics, nobody's showdown, or finance, like this is a tanker where mothers and children will not wait for two sons and fathers. Kingdom of heaven to them.

I completely agree with you.
This ship, regardless of who owns it, is a purely civilian territory and this act is 100% terror against civilians.
They could have shown their heroism by striking the military targets of Israel, but this causes them fear of retribution, although they will receive the full for this terrorist attack.

Duc, globalzm, in its full glory:

The vessel "Mercer Street", owned by the Japanese, sails under the flag of Liberia.
The ship is operated by the Zodiac shipping company, owned by Israeli businessman Eyal Ofer.
Zodiac is controlled by the British Shipping Administration.
During the incident, two sailors were killed, one of them is a British citizen, the other is a Romanian citizen.
It went empty in the Oman area.
The alleged attacker is Iran.

Assumed, we are all used to assuming but not being specific. And now there are so many pirates spread across the seas and oceans, and we are silent about them. My steamer was captured by pirates of Nigeria in 2012, so the whole world remained silent.

Yes, these Nigerians are still bastards! Once they put a Nigerian pirate in the hospital, so he immediately hijacked someone else's ship.

[Region-25.rus]

so the whole world was silent.

well, this does not apply to acutely political topics. That is why they are silent. But in general, in the mid-late nineties, I worked in offices where ships were bought at the price of scrap metal (in a known state), where the REGISTER was also bought, all checks and certificates were also bought, PSNs did not change for five years and were not even checked (I found how- then the documents for them are real), the bots did not start, the food rations are also overdue, hydro-thermo suits for 13 crew souls and 15 "passengers" are only eight of them, and those are locked in the former infirmary. During the period of autumn-winter storms, they generally went like the last time. And what, the steamers are insured, the cargo too, and the sailors, but who needs them at all? Shipowners are not interested at all. In one of the offices where I worked there were only two ships, old timber carriers. We had at least some maps on the Selenga, but on the Ayana there was only one general from the Sea of ​​Japan.

They bought all the junk for a cheap price, and like "kamikaze" people were put on them, and they had to walk, there was no work for the sailor on the shore, and all the Soviet shipping and fishing offices were instantly destroyed. I was lucky that I first got to the private reef "Aino" in good condition, and then left "under the flag".

and I hung out like that mainly on the river-sea)))

Why are you casting a shadow on the fence? it says in black and white - "the attack on the tanker Mercer Street, owned by Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer, ". And not about any" Russians, Brazilians ", Poles, Linghensteiners and so on and so forth there is not a word. Or, again, the yellow press?

To count as usual - the Americans are lying as always, and they still have those gouges in the intelligence services that cannot be trusted, especially after Powell's test tube. That is why they cannot report anything about the downed Malaysian Boeing - either they have to lie or sue the Ukrainian authorities on a bench in The Hague.

[Lionnvrsk]

US failed to confirm Iranian involvement

Although I really, really wanted!

[Peter is not the first]

The Americans were afraid in their investigation to find their own main ally in the Middle East. So they decided that these were otherworldly forces or aliens.

Usually it was enough for the minke whales to point at the "guilty" and that's it ... right there the pack sang along and began "dancing" around the bush and everything was in one gate.

Not the same minke whales today, there are many problems both inside the country and outside. And the singers are afraid not to guess the new owner, so they are silent, but, rather, because of the striped problems, they were not paid.

They have problems ... a lot depends on how they solve them.

Something strange, it would seem at first glance, events have been taking place among the merikatos and their tobaccos. But in fact, everything is natural. Everything WHEN THAT comes to an end.

Iran's participation in the attack was not possible, including the Americans, since no evidence

In relation to Russia, the Americans never need proof, a baseless accusation is enough, and in the case of Iran, they suddenly became so principled. What is it for? Negotiations on the nose?

How can they not? And where did the notorious "Hiley Likely go? Strange things are happening, since when has the states been stopped by the lack of facts?" As Russia is to blame for something, they do not require proof.

The US State Department said it was closely monitoring the situation with the tanker and was taking all measures to identify those involved in the attack.

And the United States, how far is the tanker of Israeli Jews? One more tanker, one less, Allah will not notice ...

[TANKISTONE]

Material damage is the third thing. Sorry for the sailors. The Israelites can demand whatever they want, which is what they do. But maybe they organized the attack? Maybe you need to learn to live peacefully in a foreign territory? And stop already feeding the world with biblical fables, which you yourself invented? Minus players, face, me!
