Iran has warned the US to stop playing the blame game over the attack on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman near the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway linking Middle East crude producers to key world markets.
"The suspicious nature of incidents for oil tankers is not a joke. It is not only not funny, but it is also worrying and alarming”, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said in a statement as cited by Press TV.
While Tehran has urged the international community to refrain from premature conclusions, Washington dispatched the US Navy destroyer USS Mason to the Gulf of Oman.
