TEHRAN, Oct 11 – RIA Novosti. Washington has engaged in fuel smuggling in the coastal waters of Oman, the operations are being led by the head of the US Central Command with the help of the UAE military, said Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran Mohsen Rezaei.

“The head of the US Central Command is directing the smuggling operations, also with the help of the UAE military,” Rezaei told Iranian Press TV.

He added that the United States uses five to six small smuggling vessels to transfer oil to larger tankers, but Iran, he said, attacks them every night.
