As far as I observed the tankers were damaged from starboard not Iranian side, secondly if you look at video released by american you'll see beside its similarity to IRGC Ashoura patrol boat it lacks rear 23 millimeter gun and Iran's flags while number of crew on such a boat isn't more than 3 we could see at least 7~8 crews ...
The guy on the boat trying to remove the limpet mine or whatever it may be needed to stand on the bow to reach it:

The point is the it means the mine was attached at least 3~4 meters above the sea level ... which raise these Qs:
Is it possible for a diver to carry such a mine and attach it in such a level? keeping in mind that Iranian limpet mine weight is around 42 kgs while the guy took the object as if it was much lighter .. If it was attached in the same way by a boat why the crew didn't notice it or there is no report over any suspicious boat around it? the video just shows Iranian boat getting close 10 hours later after distress calls ... they needed 10 hours to decide weather the mines needed to be removed?? in presence of american military aircraft?
The second one is why it was attached there on the hull and not underneath of the boat? attaching a mine in that level could be noticed and seen while tankers were leaving the port .. why no one noticed that before?
And some say Iran removed the mine to prevent it from falling in the hands of american .. the point is if Iran is behind it and didn't want to be caught red handed why using Iranians mines?
On the other hand
Yutaka Katada, chief executive of the Japanese company operating the ship called Kokuka Courageous, one of two vessels attacked near the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, said the damage could not have been caused by mines or torpedos that are shot underwater, since the damage was reportedly above the ship’s waterline.As it was expected american immediately blamed Iran for attacks without bringing any concrete evidence .. they've just released a blurry video of a boat removing the mine 10 hours later after distress call ... we should wait to see if more data are gonna get released till then it's not possible to find out whom did it ... Pompeo accused Iran due to the so-called "history" of Iran's past behavior which you could see here:
“It seems that something flew towards them. That created the hole, is the report I’ve received,” Mr Katada said at a press conference in Tokyo on Friday, the Financial Times reported.
I think this has all the hallmarks of a false flag, hear me out.....limpet mines failure rates are in the hundred of thousands, second look how high that was attached, a pro would have hidden it at waterline. Third, they weigh a lot (as you've said), the video shows it being removed like if it was a nothing. Fourth, it is very dangerous to mess with one that is armed and set to explode, you have to be an idiot to remove it while on a boat full of people....lastly, and most importantly, if this was a mine, it was made so it would not explode but to stay behind as evidence, an evidence designed to make it look like it was from Iran, probably with some hidden marking on it to make it look like the Iranians were incompetent that they forgot to remove one last hallmark. Lol..lol.
Ask yourself who is known for this kind of things????? You will arrive at only one answer. The lucky thing is the Iranians probably saw it when they first arrived on the scene, the miscalculations from Israel was that they figured the Americans would arrive on the scene first and discover it.......but luck would have it, they're the ones who were incompetent this time around.
