Two oil tankers, the Front Altair and the Kokuka Courageous, were attacked in the Gulf of Oman, leading the U.S. to blame Iran. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo cited "intelligence" and "expertise" as evidence, while Iran claimed the incident was a setup designed to embarrass them during a meeting with Japan's Prime Minister. Media reports highlighted "grainy video" of Iranian forces allegedly removing an unexploded mine.
