How do we know it was an Iranian boat?
How do we know what the men in the boat were doing? How do we know let the grainy, choppy video they showed us is running forwards and not backwards?

If the video was run backwards that means the crew was installing the explosive device. That's not a less condemning alternative.

You insist that it was an unexploded explosive device but that is begging the question.
There is a boat, with about 10 people on it, that approaches a ship, and one of the people on the boat touches the hull of the ship.
Was he putting something on or taking something off, or neither? What was it?
Did this even happen?
a video like this could have been faked in under 24 hours by just one person with a super-computer.
It wouldn't even be a conspiracy theory because it only takes one person.
I don't know much about boats, but the boat shown in the video may have been deployed by the tanker ship.
It could be an American boat as well.  Or Saudi. Or emirati. Or a pirate / terrorist boat.
