The US Central Command announced in a statement today, Friday, that the marches that struck the tanker "Mercer Street" on July 29, were Iranian.

She confirmed that a team specialized in explosives from the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan examined the evidence and interviewed the surviving crew members.

The team revealed that the tanker was subjected to two unsuccessful attacks by drones on the evening of July 29, noting that the crew reported the attacks through distress calls.

Investigators found small remains of at least one of the tanker's drones, which the crew recovered from the sea.

The team concluded that the significant damage to the tanker was the result of a third drone attack on 30 July.

Loaded with military-grade explosives, this drone killed two people, two crew members, the captain of the ship, a Romanian national, and a British national who was part of the security unit.

The explosion, which followed the drone's impact, punched a hole approximately 6 feet in diameter in the upper side of the pilots' cabin and severely damaged the interior.

Chemical tests showed a nitrate-based explosive identified as RDX, indicating that the drone had been fitted to cause injury and destruction.

Also, explosives experts were able to recover several pieces of this third drone, including the vertical stabilizer (part of the wing) and internal components that were nearly identical to pieces previously collected from Iranian unidirectional attack drones.

The statement also stated that the distance from the Iranian coast to the attack sites was within the range of the documented Iranian unidirectional attack drones.

American experts concluded evidence that this drone was produced in Iran. 

The Mercer Street, operated by an Israeli company, was attacked by a drone, killing two of its crew.

till then; The foreign ministers of the Group of Seven countries affirmed in a statement that Iran threatens international peace and security, and that all available evidence indicates that it is behind an attack on the Mercer Street tanker in the Arabian Sea, last week.

"All available evidence clearly points to Iran. There is no justification for this attack... Iran's approach and support for proxy forces and armed non-state actors threaten international peace and security," the statement issued by Britain, the group's chair, said.

"We call on Iran to stop all activities that are inconsistent with relevant Security Council resolutions, and we call on all parties to play a constructive role in promoting regional stability and peace," he added.

For his part, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson welcomed the condemnation of the Group of Seven of the Iranian attack on the Mercer Street tanker. He said the Iranian attack on the Mercer Street tanker was an outrageous violation of international law.

"We will continue to work with our allies to preserve freedom of navigation," he added.

For her part, the British representative to the United Nations stressed that Tehran does not respect the laws of maritime navigation and said, "The method of targeting Mercer Street is only done by Iran."

She said in statements; We have plenty of evidence that Iran was involved in the attack on the tanker.

Israel's ambassador to the United States and the United Nations also welcomed the G7's condemnation of the Iranian attack on the tanker, and said, "Awareness of the danger posed by Iran to international peace and security is essential."

British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said on Thursday that Iran would pay a price if its new president, Ibrahim Raisi, chose hostility, stressing that the UK's handling of Iran had become at a crossroads.

The British minister also pledged to hold Iran accountable for threatening navigation and destabilizing the region, noting that the attack on the Mercer Street ship would not pass without Tehran being held accountable.

In turn, Iran completely disavowed responsibility, and the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tehran, Saeed Khatibzadeh, described the spreading news as suspicious, denying reports that the ship might be hijacked by Iranian military forces or forces affiliated with Iran.
