And on the left, the damage caused by the Magnetic Mine that did detonate. Evidence that President Trump told fox news in a phone interview today that proves iran was behind the attack. Well, iran did do it. I guess one of the mines didnt explode, and its probably got, essentially, iran written all over it. And that was their boat, and they didnt want the evidence left behind. Reporter but the u. S. Has not yet publicly released any evidence showing iran placed the mines on the tankers, one of which was burning for hours. The German Foreign minister today saying the video is not sufficient proof iran is to blame. We obviously need to make contingency plans should the situation deteriorate, but we also need to broaden our support for this international situation.
