According to the Associated Press with reference to the expert of the US Navy, the “magnetic mine” used to attack the tanker “has a striking similarity” with Iranian mines.

June 13 in the Gulf of Oman on two tankers explosions occurred and the fire started.

After that, the US accused Iran of attacking ships. Such statements were made by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and President Donald Trump. As Pompeo noted, the special services have “a wealth of data and evidence” of Tehran’s guilt.

As reported on June 18, the Pentagon approved the dispatch of an additional 1,000 troops to the Middle East "for defensive purposes" against the background of the exacerbation of the situation in the Gulf of Oman.
