The Navy will dispatch 100 Royal Marines to the Gulf to guard British ships after Iran attacked two oil tankers, raising the threat of war. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said London had concluded Iran was 'almost certainly' responsible for Thursday's tanker attacks. Donald Trump has said the oil tanker attacks had Iran 'written all over it', rejecting Tehran's vehement denial. The US has also accused Iran over May 12 sabotage attacks on four tankers anchored in the Gulf of Oman off Fujairah. President Donald Trump on Friday charged Iran with attacking oil tankers in the Persian Gulf and warned Tehran their actions will not be taken lightly.
