An American military team's initial assessment is that Iranian or Iranian-backed proxies used explosives Sunday to blow large holes in four ships anchored off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, a U.S. official said. Each ship has a 5- to 10-foot hole in it, near or just below the water line, the official added. Asked about the sabotage, which one tanker association suggested was caused by a 'weapon', US President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would 'suffer greatly' if it enraged Washington, predicting a 'bad problem for Iran if something happens'. The incident has sparked fears of a looming military confrontation along the world's most important oil artery following the collapse of the 2015 deal designed to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions. The US has deployed B-52 bombers and an assault ship to bolster an aircraft carrier in the region. Spain today pulled one of its frigates from the region because of mounting US-Iran tensions. 🔥

A woman brought her car in to be repaired at a shop in Tambov region, Russia. And her dashcam captured the moment the car rolled out of the shop when the repairs had been completed.

Just seconds later the car skids down a bank and sinks in to a river.😂 #lol #losers

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arrived in Sochi on Tuesday for meetings with Vladimir Putin and Sergey Lavrov as a growing conflict between the United States and Iran threatened to boil over. It is Pompeo's first visit to Russia as America's chief diplomat, and he said ahead of the trip that he would confront Putin about election interference.
