"The world public opinion is highly suspicious of the US claims about Iran's involvement in the oil tankers blasts," Baeidinejad said in a tweet late on Friday.
"Individuals from around the world are publishing notes in different languages to remind that it was because of untrue claims that the US launched military attacks in the WWI, Vietnam War, and the War on Iraq," he added, posting a collection of photos with captions on them.
There are 4 photos, along with the photo of an oil tanker on fire. The caption on all the 4 photos says, "They lied." The caption on the burning tanker reads, "Do they really expect us to fall for the same thing against with Iran?"
Early on Thursday, media reports said explosions occurred on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, apparently as a result of attacks.
The MT Front Altair had been loaded at a port in the Gulf of Oman with a petroleum product known as naptha, and was on its way to the Far East. Its crew of 23 is safe after being evacuated by the nearby Hyundai Dubai vessel.
Front Altair was loaded from Qatar with the flage of Marshal Islands and Kokuka Courageous was loaded from Saudi Arabia with a Panama flag.
Meanwhile, BSM Ship Management says its crew of 21 aboard the Kokuka Courageous carrying methanol has also been rescued in the Gulf of Oman by a nearby Iranian vessel after what it described as an "incident on board which resulted in damage to the ship's hull starboard side".
A prominent Russian expert Rajab Safarov said in an interview with Russia 24 news channel on Friday that the US has launched the Thursday attacks on two oil tankers in the Sea of Oman to spread Iranophobia, satisfy Israel and find a pretext for prolonged presence in the region.
"Allegations that Iran is behind the two oil tankers incident in the Sea of Oman are not believable," Head of the Russian Center for Iran Studies and senior analyst on regional issues Safarov.
He described the US as the culprit behind the incident, and said in conditions that Iran along with two world powers, Russia and China, are after keeping the nuclear deal, Tehran will not resort to provocative acts against its interests.
Safarov added that the most important reason to blame the US for the incident is its interest in prolonged deployment in the Persian Gulf under the pretext of defending the Persian Gulf Arab states against what it calls as Iran's threat.
"There is also another important scenario. The US is now producing 12mln barrels of oil on a daily basis and it has not only become self-sufficient but also has turned into one of the most important exporters of oil and therefore, it wants to cripple oil transfer in the Persian Gulf and annihilate the European states and China's economy," he said.
"The US introduces itself as the savior of the world and the biggest guarantor of peace and security and Iran as the biggest enemy of peace and the world's economic lifeline by claiming to be rescuing Europe and the Arab and Asian states from an economic, political and geopolitical catastrophe and it will force them to bow to Washington and cut ties with Iran. Therefore, what you see is a scenario which fully benefits Trump and his supporters to force the world to bow to him," Safarov warned.
Asked about the possibility for military conflict between Iran and the US, he said that Washington does not enjoy the capability and power to attack Iran and they fear any military confrontation, adding that tens of ways are before Tehran to close the Strait of Hormuz but the Iranians do not want to adopt provocative measures.
Safarov said that by launching attacks against the oil tankers in the Sea of Oman, Washington pursues Iranophobia in the world to meet its economic interests, satisfy the Israeli lobby, pressure the Persian Gulf Arab states to plunder their petrodollars and hit a blow to Europe and China's economy.
The Japanese company that owns the ‘Kokuka Courageous' tanker has said its crew spotted "flying objects" before the attack in the Gulf of Oman, contradicting US claims that the vessel was damaged by a naval mine.
Yutaka Katada, president of Kokuka Sangyo, told reporters on Friday that sailors on board the ill-fated oil tanker observed "flying objects" just before the incident in which the ship caught fire and was badly damaged. The giant vessel was hit twice, first near the engine room and then on its starboard side.
He suggested that those flying objects could have been bullets, and called reports of striking a mine "false." Both points at which the ship was damaged were above her waterline, which couldn't be so if it had struck an underwater mine.
Later that day, the US military released a blurry video showing what they claimed were Iranian sailors removing an "unexploded limpet mine" from the ‘Kokuka Courageous.' The poor quality of the video made it especially challenging to independently verify the claims.
Katada's account partly contradicted American allegations of a mine attack, but did mention that the crew had spotted an Iranian Navy ship nearby. However, the president failed to specify whether it was there before or after the attack.
Though Washington officials rushed to blame Iran for the attack, other countries have been more cautious.
Speaking to reporters in Norway on Friday, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said he remains skeptical.
"The video is not enough. We can understand what is being shown, sure, but to make a final assessment, this is not enough for me," he added.
Another tanker, the Norwegian-owned ‘Front Altair,' also suffered some damage while passing through the Gulf of Oman at around the same time. There have been reports of a torpedo attack on the vessel, but it is not yet clear from the firm's statement whether it was attacked.
It is unknown who would benefit from targeting the ships, but the timing of the incidents is especially sensitive. The attack on the tankers that were carrying "Japan-related" cargo notably came during a rare visit to Tehran by Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo.
Suspicious doesn't begin to describe what likely transpired this morning," said Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. As the day progressed, he hit back at the US accusations, saying Washington is trying to set up a false-flag attack in order to "sabotage diplomacy" and cover up their own "economic terrorism" against Tehran.
In a statement on Friday, Russia warned against jumping to conclusions about a Thursday incident involving two oil tankers in the Sea of Oman, which the United States has claimed were attacks carried out by Iran.
Moscow called for a thorough international investigation.
"We are concerned by tensions in the Gulf of Oman," the Russian foreign ministery added, urging all parties to show restraint.
China's foreign ministry has also called on all sides to exercise restraint following attacks on the oil tankers, urging dialogue to resolve differences.
Beijing was deeply concerned about the rising tension, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Geng Shuang said.
"Nobody wants to see war in the [Persian] Gulf. That is not in anyone's interest," he told a regular news briefing in Beijing, adding that China hoped all sides could resolve differences via dialogue.
"We hope all relevant parties remain calm and exercise restraint and avoid tensions further escalating, and hope all sides can jointly safeguard navigational safety in the relevant waters and regional peace and stability," he stated.
China would continue to safeguard its energy security and the lawful rights of its companies, he noted.
