Defense One: US Blames Tanker Attacks On Iran; CENTCOM Releases Surveillance Video
Military officials say imagery shows Iranians in boats at the tankers, handling a mine and trying to capture crew members.
Hours after U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blamed Iran for a pair of attacks on two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz early Thursday morning, a military spokesman released a video, photos, and a timeline purporting to show Iranian boats near the ships immediately after the attacks.
According to Capt. Bill Urban, U.S. Central Command’s top spokesman, the video shows men aboard an Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps military patrol boat returning to one of the abandoned tankers, the M/T Kokuka Courageous, and removing an unexploded mine from its damaged hull.

The fact that they even shared such a low quality video, kind of shows America's plan. Blame asap
Anyone with any common sense knows who benefits from this the most
Good ol Israel
^^^hilarious and deluded...
Spec Ops operate at night. These Iranians do. How great of video do you expect to get at night from a distance?
Too many people for it to be Americans. If you watch the video to the end you see a deck gun. This is an Iranian Navy vessel alright.
They intentionally release videos with poor quality, they have always done that. The one who can say why gets a cookie.
Because... Why would you want to give away to your enemies, that you can see in high quality, high definition like images??!
Cookie.. Me.. Now..
ZU-23-2 in the bow. Three (?) outboards. Fits description of some IRGC small craft or pleasure craft from Monaco. Can’t make out object; assume Dyson vacuum being used to altruistically debarnacle the hull.
Haha yes, you get a cookie 😊
