Iran questions timing of reported attacks on Japan-tied tankers
TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammd Javad Zarif says that reported attacks today on two tankers off the Iranian coast just as Japan’s prime minister held Tehran talks are more than suspicious.
“Reported attacks on Japan-related tankers occurred while PM @AbeShinzo was meeting with Ayatollah @khamenei_ir for extensive and friendly talks. Suspicious doesn’t begin to describe what likely transpired this morning,” Zarif tweets.
