Via Daily Caller:
The U.S. military released video footage they say shows Iranian special forces removing an unexploded mine from an oil tanker after an attack Thursday.
President Donald Trump blamed Iran after two oil tankers were attacked in the Gulf of Oman Thursday. The U.S. says footage proves Iran was the perpetrator behind the attacks, but Iran said Friday that these accusations were “alarming,” and denied the allegations, according to the Washington Post.
The attack resulted in about a 4% increase in oil prices. Video footage shows Iran removing a mine from one of the oil tankers according to U.S. Centcom, but others have disagreed that the object is a mine.
