Gulf analyst Bill Law argued there is yet to be any concrete evidence indicating Iran was responsible for the recent oil tanker attack. However, he added that in the event that it was the nation, it would be a “dangerous game” with the US to show the growing pressure they are suffering from. While speaking on Sky News he said: “We still don’t know if Iran was responsible for these attacks on the tankers.
“But that would certainly be one way of expressing a fight back against the kind of pressure Iran is under.
“But that is a game that can easily spin out of control, given there is so much high tech weaponry in the Gulf region right now.
“It is becoming increasingly unstable and it is definitely a worrying time.
“Can that cycle be broken? Can there be a drawing down of the rhetoric towards war? We will have to wait and see.
