13.06.2019 - Pravděpodobný torpédový útok na dva tankery v Ománském zálivu, jeden hoří

In the gulf of Oman there were two very serious incidents in which they were damaged 2 tankers whose crew were successfully evacuated. According to some information should be these tankers torpédovány. The situation recalls the assault 4 tankers a month ago off the coast of the United Arab Emirates. Here I fell non-targeted charges that the attack was the work of "nejmennovaného of the state." Of course many countries for this "unnamed state" sees Iran. Even in the present case fall down similar to a charge that Iran denies. In the whole area so there is a growing tension. Moreover, the tense situation between the U.S. and Iran and of course Saudi Arabia and Iran. Not forgetting even the israeli-iranian "relations." As a motivation of Iran's stated interest in lifting oil prices. However, in such a case cannot be totally ruled out diplomatic objectives. Last but not least, there is still the possibility that the events are not the work of Íráčánů, and that they just have to provoke such an impression in a certain order towards the economic, diplomatic or even military eliminating Iran. However, these are all speculation.
