A senior Iranian security official accused the head of the US Central Command (CENTCOM) of orchestrating oil-smuggling operations in the Strait of Hormuz with the assistance of the United Arab Emirates military.
Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, made the claim in an interview over the weekend with Iranian state-run Press TV.
Rezaei said Adm. Brad Cooper was directing the operations using the UAE military, with five or six small boats transferring oil to large tankers.
He said Iranian forces had been striking five or six vessels involved in the operations each night over the past two or three months.
There was no immediate comment from the US or the UAE on Rezaei’s claims.
