EU foreign ministers have called for an independent investigation after US claim Iran is behind the tanker attack in the Gulf of Oman.

 

At a meeting on Monday, EU foreign ministers showed strong support for an independent UN investigation and calls for more evidence with the UK relatively isolated in its support for the Trump administrations' line.

 

The US has released a video which it claims shows an Iranian patrol boat removing an unexploded mine from one of the tankers, however no hard proof has been found that Iran is behind the attack.
