' Ridiculous, dangerous': Iran denies US claims over Gulf tankers

Washington releases video it says show Iranian soldiers removing an un-exploded mine from damaged tanker.

' Meanwhile, Giorgio Cafiero, CEO of Gulf State Analytics, said the latest events highlighted any disruptions in the strait would also affect the economies of Iran's regional foes, Saudi Arabia and UAE. "Saudi Arabia and the UAE, where these two tankers were coming from, have supported Trump's maximum pressure campaign [against Iran] and some could see how it could make sense for Iran to gain from situations like this, whereby the pro-Trump countries in the Gulf face new problems as blowback for supporting the White House," he said from Washington, DC.'
