The owner of the Japanese tanker attacked on Thursday said US reports have provided false information about what happened in the Gulf of Oman.
The ship operator said flying objects that may have been bullets were the cause of damage to the vessel, rather than mines used by Iranian forces, as the US has suggested.
Yutaka Katada, chief executive of the Japanese company operating the ship called Kokuka Courageous, one of two vessels attacked near the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, said the damage could not have been caused by mines or torpedos that are shot underwater, since the damage was reportedly above the ships waterline.
