Will Turkey go against the US...again?

The Stena Impero tanker was confiscated by the Revolutionary Guards at the request of Hormozgan Ports and Maritime Organisation
The Guards said the impounded ship was smuggling one million liters of fuel in the area of Larak Island in the Gulf
However, the Japanese operator of Kokuka Courageous said the crew saw "flying objects" just before the attack
