\nABU DHABI: The United Arab Emirates said Friday that twin attacks on tankers in the Sea of Oman just weeks after four ships were damaged off the UAE marked a \u201cdangerous escalation.\u201d
\u201cThe attack against the tankers in the Gulf of Oman is a worrying development and a dangerous escalation,\u201d the UAE minister of state for foreign affairs, Anwar Gargash, tweeted after Thursday\u2019s blasts.
Gargash also condemned the Houthi militia missile attack which wounded 26 civilians at an airport in southwestern Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.
He said the \u201cblatant attack on civilians\u201d was only the latest in a spate of rebel assaults \u201cundermining the UN\u2019s political work and sending a message of continuing violence and hostility.\u201d
These developments \u201cmust spur the international community to act to maintain peace and security in the region,\u201d Gargash said.
\u201cThe responsibility for avoiding an escalation is collective.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two tankers, one Norwegian-operated and one Japanese-owned, were set ablaze in the Gulf of Oman off the coast of Iran on Thursday, escalating tensions across the region and sending world oil prices soaring.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said there was strong evidence of Iran\u2019s culpability, after US Central Command reported seeing an Iranian patrol boat removing an \u201cunexploded limpet mine\u201d from the hull of one of the vessels.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif charged that the US administration had \u201cimmediately jumped to make allegations against Iran without a shred of factual or circumstantial evidence.\u201d
He accused it of seeking to \u201csabotage diplomacy\u201d as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited Tehran in a bid to ease Iran-US tensions.
In a subsequent tweet, Gargash said Zarif\u2019s \u201ccredibility (is) diminishing.\u201d
\u201cPublic relations is no real substitute to constructive policies. De-escalation in (the) current situation requires wise actions not empty words.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nEvery single day Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister Zarif\u2019s reference to team B becomes more farcical & his credibility diminishing.Public relations is no real substitute to constructive policies. De-escalation in current situation requires wise actions not empty words.<\/p>\n
