USA beskylder Iran for drone-angreb

De amerikanske myndigheder siger, at det var Iran, der stod bag mandagens angreb på produkttankskibet Pacific Zircon, der blev ramt af projektiler angiveligt affyret fra en drone 130 sømil ud for Oman´s kyst.

“Et iransk fremstillet ubemandet luftfartøj udførte angrebet mod Pacific Zircon,” hævder US Central Command.

“Efter at have gennemgået den tilgængelige information er vi overbeviste om, at Iran sandsynligvis udførte dette angreb ved hjælpe af en militær drone - et dødbringende våben, som landet i stigende grad anvender selv eller via sine allierede og som har spredt sig til Rusland, der bruger dem i krigen mod Ukraine,” siger USA nationale sikkerhedsrådgiver Jake Sullivan.

“Dette drone-angreb mod et civilt fartøj i dette kritiske maritime stræde demonstrerer endnu en gang den destabiliserende karakter af den ondartede iranske aktivitet i regionen,” siger general Michael Kurilla, der er øverstbefalende for US Central Command.

Ingen har dog påtaget sig skylden for angrebet, men pilen mod Iran, der i fjor - igen ifølge US Central Command - rettede et drone angreb mod produkttankeren Mercer Street også ud for Oman. To besætningsmedlemmer omkom ved angrebet.

Der er ikke rapporteret om tilskadekomne ved mandagens angreb på Pacific Zircon, der er opereret af Eastern Pacific Shipping.
