Corbyn calls UK to alleviate Persian Gulf tensions following tanker attacks
15 Jun 2019 - 11:07
Leader of UK’s Labor Party Jeremy Corbyn has called on London to reduce tensions in the Persian Gulf following the oil tankers incident in the Sea of Oman.
The United States has blamed Iran for attacks on two oil tankers in the Sea of Oman on Thursday and Britain followed suit with Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, accusing Tehran of “destabilizing” the region.
“These latest attacks build on a pattern of destabilizing Iranian behavior and pose a serious danger to the region,” Hunt said in a statement.
Few hours later, however, Corbyn criticized the British government for making accusations against Iran “without credible evidence.”
