A US Navy lab in Bahrain has confirmed Iran’s connection to a Nov. 15 aerial drone attack on the Israeli-owned and Liberian-flagged tanker transiting international waters in the Middle East. Two US Navy explosive ordnance technicians boarded M/T Pacific Zircon to assess the damage and collect unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) debris fragments for forensic analysis. During a two-hour survey and evidence collection process, the technicians also obtained explosive residue samples for lab testing.
