Iranian President Rohani met on the 14th, “It was not an attack by a terrorist organization, but an attack from a nation that was helped by other countries,” over an explosion that occurred in an Iranian oil tanker navigating the Red Sea in the Middle East. I emphasized. Rohani did not mention the country name, but Iran may be investigating the involvement of Saudi Arabia and Israel, which are in intense conflict in the Middle East.

Rohani said at a conference that "the tanker was attacked by a rocket from another ship and received at least two shots." On top of that, he said, “We are still investigating, but there will be no response to the country that implemented it,” suggesting retaliation.

Also, according to Iran media, the Iranian state-owned company that owns the explosion tanker released a picture of the tanker hull that was damaged on the 14th. According to the video, there were several large holes on the side of the tanker. The owning company insists that it is “the trace of being attacked”.

An Iranian tanker explosion occurred about 100 kilometers west of Jeddah, western Saudi Arabia, early morning on the 11th. The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has indicated that “tankers were targeted from the eastern side of the Red Sea”, but the Saudi government denied that “we are not involved at all” (Minister of State for Foreign Affairs of Juvale).
