Exclusive: Insurer says Iran's Guards 'highly likely' to have organized tanker attacks
LONDON/OSLO - Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards are “highly likely” to have facilitated attacks last Sunday on four tankers including two Saudi ships off Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates, according to a Norwegian insurers’ report seen by Reuters.
A confidential assessment issued this week by the Norwegian Shipowners’ Mutual War Risks Insurance Association concluded that the attack was likely to have been carried out by a surface vessel operating close by that despatched underwater drones carrying 30-50 kg of high-grade explosives to detonate on impact.
- A high likelihood that the IRGC had previously supplied its allies, the Houthi militia fighting a Saudi-backed government in Yemen, with explosive-laden surface drone boats capable of homing in on GPS navigational positions for accuracy.
