Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said it is ‘highly likely’ that Iran was behind the fatal drone attack on the ship, Mercer Street, off the coast of Oman on Thursday night.
The UK has accused Iran of killing a Briton in an ‘unlawful and callous attack’ on an oil tanker in the Middle East.
Tonight, Mr Raab finally broke his silence and backed Israel’s claims, vowing to draw up a ‘concerted response’ with UK allies to the fatal incident. ‘The UK is working with our international partners on a concerted response to this unacceptable attack.’ Officials said that in the summer of 2019 Iran was also ‘almost certainly responsible’ for attacks on two vessels in the Gulf of Oman.
