jg1 Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 First assessment blames Iran for Middle East ship explosions, official says Samuel Chamberlain | Fox News EmailVideo President Trump warns Iran of consequences of potential attack Trump says 'bad problem' may await Iran as the U.S. bulks up its military presence in the Persian Gulf; State Department correspondent Rich Edson reports. An American military team assessing blasts that damaged four commercial ships off the coast of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Sunday has blamed Iran or Iranian-backed proxies using explosive charges, a source told Fox News on Monday evening. Each ship had a 5-to-10-foot hole in it, near or just below the water line, a U.S. official told The Associated Press. A Norwegian-flagged vessel, two Saudi oil tankers and a bunkering tanker flagged in Sharjah, one of the UAE's seven emirates, all suffered similar damage Sunday. The UAE asked the U.S. to help investigate the damage, which Gulf officials have characterized as sabotage. UAE's state media said Sunday there had been "no injuries or fatalities on board the vessels" and "no spillage of harmful chemicals or fuel." The U.S. has warned ships that "Iran or its proxies" could be targeting maritime traffic in the region, and America has moved additional ships and aircraft into the region. President Trump warned Iran on Monday afternoon it will "suffer greatly" if the country does "anything" in the form of an attack. That statement came three days after Iran warned it easily could destroy a naval fleet sent by the United States in order to ward off a potential threat to U.S. commercial interests. That incident came after months of increasing diplomatic and economic pressure on Iran, which the U.S. has accused of threatening American interests and allies in the region, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson and The Associated Press contributed to this report. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
