Bloomberg news claimed this week that the attacks on the oil tankers may have been staged by Saudi Arabia to increase tensions with Iran and bolster oil prices.
In an article by Julian Lee, the news outlet went into detail over claims regarding the recent oil tanker attacks, positing a false-flag theory reminiscent of the Gulf of Tonkin and Iraqi WMDs. The publication theorises that there are strong signs that either the US or Saudi Royals may be behind the attack, with the intention of escalating the current tensions to a level of direct military conflict or invasion. Lee believes the false flag to be driven by a clear motive: both Mohammed bin Salman and US President Trump are eager for a regime change in Tehran.
