And in fact the video was from a computer game and the Russian Emode had actually used a screenshot from a computer game as it's irrefutable evidence. You're listening to War College, a weekly podcast that brings you the stories from behind the

front lines.

Here are your hosts. Hello, welcome to War College. I'm your host Matthew Galt.

Producer Kevin Nodel is still in the Middle East, but we will hear from him soon.

Misinformation, grainy and low resolution images from government sources,

signals intelligence, Facebook posts, satellite imagery, YouTube videos, online databases of

vast and public knowledge.

These and more are the tools by which Elliot Higgins and Bellingcat

suss out the truth in a complicated world.

On June 13th, something attacked two oil tankers in the Gulf of Amman.

The United States blamed Iran, producing footage. It claimed the link to Iran's

revolutionary guard to the incident. Iran denied responsibility and people aboard the tankers say the story the U.S. is telling

doesn't add up.

So is this the clever sleight of hand from Iran, a Gulf of Tonkin style operation meant to draw the U.S. into war or something else entirely.

Here to help us figure that out and more importantly, how we came to this conclusion is Elliot Higgins of Bellingat.

Elliot, thank you so much for joining us.

Hello.
