Russia has warned against “baseless accusations” and a “sober appraisal of evidence” after Iran and the United States traded charges over the reported attacks on commercial tankers in the Gulf of Oman.
The mysterious incidents have heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington, prompting fears of a regional spat and an increase in oil price.
The Russian appeal came as Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom sided with Washington’s assessment that Iran was responsible for Thursday’s incidents, which left one tanker ablaze and both adrift in the Gulf.

Britain’s stance, meanwhile, drew a diplomatic protest from Tehran, which vehemently denies the US claims.
