front altair: The saber-rattling has been getting louder since June 13, when several explosions occurred on two oil tankers, Front Altair from Norway and Kokuka Courageous from Japan, just outside the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf of Oman, according to Deutsche Welle. That same day, the US government accused Iran of attacking the tankers with limpet mines. In the wake of that incident, the US apparently considered and then called off a retaliatory strike on short notice. Iran denies the allegations. Even then, the US and its Arab-world allies raised allegations against Iran. Already on May 12, four ships near the Strait of Hormuz reported damage from explosions.
