So who is the mastermind of this attack? Since the target of the attack is Iran, according to normal logic, it must be controlled by Iran's enemies. Not long ago, Saudi Arabia's main oil base and largest oil field were attacked by precision drones and cruise missiles, which caused huge economic losses to Saudi Arabia. The United States "spared no effort" to deploy the Patriot missile defense system in Saudi Arabia on a large scale.
At the beginning of the confrontation between the United States and Iran, especially at the delicate moment when Japan intervened in the relationship between the United States and Iran, oil tankers from Japan and other the Strait of Hormuz countries were also attacked, but small bombs or drones were still used at that time. After all, they didn't attack a country's oil tanker with missiles. This time, it is estimated that military fans all over the world didn't expect things to be so big. In fact, they directly greeted Iran with several missiles. Obviously, they came with a sunken ship, and there are signs that the bigger the thing, the better. Everything that happens in the world has a reason. The consequences of Iran's serious attack today actually lie in its problems with the US military and its allies.
Now that the Iranian oil tanker has also been attacked, it is impossible not to retaliate. The current situation in the Middle East can be said to be a mess. Just a few days ago, when the US military decided to withdraw its troops from Syria, Turkey immediately launched a fierce attack on the Kurdish armed forces, causing the Kurdish armed forces to fight back.
