The White House says it is “confident” that Iran is behind a drone attack earlier today on an oil tanker off the coast of Oman owned by an Israeli billionaire.
US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan says the White House is “confident that Iran likely conducted this attack using a UAV.”
The Bahrain-based United States Fifth Fleet says it is “aware of the incident.”
