Japan stärker knappast Trumpadministrationens berättelse, kaptenen till det japanska skeppet tror inte att det var en torped utan att det snarare kom ifrån luften då träffen var ovanför havslinjen samtidigt som Iran öppet nekar att de skulle ha varit inblandade.
Citat:
Yutaka Katada, the owner of one of the stricken fuel tankers crippled in explosions in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday, says the U.S. is wrong about the way the attack was carried out. Speaking at a press conference in Tokyo on Friday, he contradicted Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the U.S. Navy, which released a video that purports to show an Iranian patrol boat removing a limpet mine from the port side of the Kokuka Courageous. Katada said his ship was attacked on the starboard side by a flying object, not by a mine. “It seems that something flew towards them. That created the hole, is the report I’ve received,” Katada said, according to the Financial Times. “It seems there was a high chance they were attacked by a flying object. The impact was well above the water. I don’t think it was a torpedo.” The Japanese ship owner did not say who might be responsible for the attack. Iran has vehemently denied it was involved.

Så det börjar tyda på att någon med tillgång till en drönare kan ha orsakat det, nu betyder det inte att det automatiskt var USA, Israel eller Saudiarabien utan det kan ha varit en fristående iransk grupp/individ med tillgång till rätt tillgångar men den version som USA och Pentagon har kört med är inte sanningen.
