06JUN2019 - NEWS - US to Present Evidence of Iran's Involvement in Oil Tanker Attacks in UAE

Evidence of Iran’s involvement in the sabotage of four oil tankers off the coast of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) last month, is set to be revealed in the coming days by the United States and will include intelligence that Washington has received from Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.

Early in May, Saudi Arabia announced that two of its oil tankers were attacked by saboteurs near the UAE, with the UAE reporting that four ships in total had been attacked near the port of Fujairah, the world’s second-largest bunkering port. One Israeli navy official, quoted in Israeli media, said that the attack on the oil tankers offshore the UAE was “a pretty impressive commando operation”.

The US will present the Israeli intelligence and the evidence it has gathered on the attacks to the United Nations Security Council this week, but senior American officials have already pointed the finger at Iran as being behind the sabotage against the oil tankers.

On May 24, the Pentagon said that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was responsible for sabotaging the four vessels at the Fujairah port.
