President Donald Trump said Friday that Iran was responsible for an attack on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman.
"Iran did do it," he said during a wide-ranging 50-minute interview on Fox News. βIt was them that did it.β He also called Iran, "a nation of terror."
The president pointed to a video the U.S. military released, Fox News reported, that officials say shows Iranβs Revolutionary Guard removing an unexploded limpet mine from one of the oil tankers targeted near the Strait of Hormuz. The video suggests that the Islamic Republic sought to remove evidence of its involvement from the scene.
