A spokesman for the British Foreign Office claimed that the agency was investigating “an incident on a ship off the coast of the UAE.”
Later on the same day, the UK Maritime Trade Organization announced another incident off the coast of the eastern UAE emirate Fujairah, without clarifying the vessel. It considers the incident as a “potential seizure” that was not a piracy.
Meanwhile, The Times, citing sources in the British government, claimed that Tehran or its allies might be involved in the incident with Asphalt Princess.
In response, the official representative of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Saeed Khatibzadeh, called the reports of incidents with tankers in the Gulf of Oman a “very suspicious situation.”
Tehran proclaimed its readiness to help in the investigation.
The reports come a few days after the Mercer Street tanker was attacked off the coast of Oman. The U.S. and U.K. hurried up to accuse Iran of being responsible for the alleged drone strike on an oil tanker.

Looks like Israel/Saudi Ops are intensifying their false flags…. Keep messing around, and y’all gonna find out.
Amazing what the war pigs are willing to go through to have their little bloodbath. If they weren’t such cowards they would just come straight.
How much longer will underwriters continue to insure these cargoes?
I don’t think they have balls to wage war against Iran. No more than 8 minutes ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-uh7_fDYlM
they are bunch of barking dogs that’s all they are!
Americunts and Jewcunts are telling fibs, nothing has happened.
In the real world, Sayyed Ebrahim Raisi has officially been inaugurated as the President and the official ceremony later will have heads of state and dignitaries from over 60 nations. Hardliner original revolutionary Mr. Raisi is barely 60 years old and widely slated to be the next Supreme Leader. He is expected to focus on charging Iran’s economy by focusing on self sufficiency, closer ties with China and Russia and regional engagement.
This is all nonsense and part of the US and UK effort to malign Iran for their Zionist masters. In real military terms these are worn out cuckolds and can’t really do much as Afghanistan and Iraq have clearly shown. They were not expecting the great loss of face the Zionists have suffered lately, so have to invent fiction.
This type of desperately crude psy-ops is called asymmetrical propaganda which the losing side creates fiction to escalate tensions. The US and UK are controlled by extremely vicious Zionists, who operate like stand over criminals by bluster, bullying, threats and intimidation, but when that crude strategy fails, they resort to sheer lies and fabrications. The US and its NATO vassals are in global headlong flight and marginalization as Eurasia rises and a more mature multi-polar world takes shape. Therefore, expect more of this sort of crass disinformation from the losing side.
