Saudis Suggest Iran-Backed Houthi Rebels Responsible For Tanker Attack Via Zerohedge (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-0...)
A spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition supporting Yemen's government in the country's civil war has come out and blamed Iran for Thursday's attack, saying they believe they can connect it to a similar tanker bombing last year in the Red Sea committed by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels. The spokesman called the attack a "major escalation", and reiterated in what sounded to us like a thinly veiled threat that Saudi Arabia has the capacity to protect its vital institutions.
You may remember that the Houthis have over the last year repeatedly fired missiles (with mixed success) at Saudi oil fields and even came close to successfully bombing a royal palace.
Earlier, over in the UK, a spokesperson for the government called the attack on civilian oil tankers "completely unacceptable" and said the UK was ready to assist in the rescue effort and investigation.
Meanwhile, senior officials from the US and UAE have attributed the attack to a "state actor," though they neglected to explicitly name Iran.
All this is happening before the investigation into the attacks has even begun. And BBG's Javier Blas pointed out that should Iran be found responsible, it would be a strange turn of events since the Front Altair is owned by John Frederiksen, the owner of the Frontline Tanker company, who moved oil for Iran during the "tanker war" with Iraq.

Who Torpedoed the Japanese Ships?

Who really Torpedoed the Japanese ships leaving Iran, seems rather suspicious that the ships were attacked precisely as the Japanese PM Abe was having a meeting with the top leaders of Iran.
The coverage from Japanese media is very instructive
This is a good example of the schizophrenia and fake intelligence behind the coverage of the "always Trump" crowd

‘Suspicious doesn’t begin to describe what happened’: Iran’s FM on tanker ‘attacks’ in Gulf of Oman
Iran’s
foreign minister has labeled the reported attack on two
“Japan-related” oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman as “suspicious,”
occurring just as Japanese Prime Minister Abe came to Tehran for
major talks.
Expressing
his misgivings on Twitter, Javad Zarif noted that the incidents on
the two vessels on Thursday, one of which had been reportedly struck
by a torpedo, had occurred as Abe sat down for “extensive and
friendly” discussions with Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Seyed
Ali Khamenei.

of whether Iran is responsible for damage to vessels in the Sea of
