Oh, sorry, Gulf of Oman..... ."A Japanese-owned ship was targeted just as Japan’s prime minister, Shinzo Abe, wrapped up a high-stakes visit to Tehran to help cool hostilities in the region and potentially mediate U.S.-Iran talks.
The attack appeared timed to undermine those efforts... Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Thursday on Twitter that the attack took place while Abe was meeting with Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, for “extensive and friendly talks.” “Suspicious doesn't begin to describe what likely transpired this morning,” he said. The exact circumstances of the attack were unclear. "

If Mister Bone Saw will murder journalists (and Trump not only lets him get by with it, but sends him smart bombs and secret US technology and nuclear reactors), MBS would certainly send some of his assassination squad members to hit a Japanese oil tanker while the Japanese leader is in Iran trying to calm relations in the region.
Trump is bought off by Saudi money, and MBS can get away with anything. Even helping Trump start a war. Meanwhile, Barr is leading the purge of the CIA of any agents who would question this administration's subterfuge and lies.

I find your theorizing quite plausible, NCD. Especially as there's been buzz about the U.S. pursuing diplomacy towards through backhand channels and the known chaos caused by Trump at the top about not giving a damn what underlings are up to. Other players bound to try to manipulate a situation like that.
That said, I just ran across this reminder by two known Mideast analysts talking to each other on Twitter to be wary of making too much sense out of any Mideast situation:

Weiss was against the Iran nuclear deal, see his tweets from 2011, the "institute" that employs him is headed by a Michael Lewis who has strong financial ties to Israel (and citizenship?). (BTW, Does Weiss do anything but tweet?)
The dumbest most untrustworthy government in the world right now is ours, and Bolton has been calling for war with Iran for over a decade. A war would help Trump in re-election. The Saudi's own Trump and Jared, and would like nothing more than the US bombing Iran. MBS is also a liar and "dumb".
It's frankly absurd for Pompeo to be blaming Iran within hours of the incident, unless disinformation and opinion molding is the "usual" first move as a ginned up pro-conflict propaganda objective.
