Now, just playing Devils advocate, but why wouldn't the Iranians say, in the course of trying to lend aid we saw this mine and disarmed it.


Like I said I could get aboard the idea of Saudi Arabia doing something like this. Neither government is what I would call rational at all.


I would be interested to see if they tracked the boat from the video and where it went.
More details emerging from the attack from the president of the oil tanker company, sailors claimed to have seen flying objects that caused the damage, upon inspecting the damage following the attack on their tanker found all the damage was above water, which supports a missile attack. This directly contradicts the White House accounts of this being caused by Iranian mines, which would have caused substantial below water line damage.
