Bolton wants a war with Iran, naturally he has "proof" that everything that happens anywhere in the ME is Iran's fault.
The Houthis are doing all they can to drive up the costs of shipping for the Saudis as shown by their hitting several ships with missiles not long ago and could easily have been set up to receive mines which the US would then trace to Iran.
In addition to that, it's not like the US is any stranger to little lies about what's happening in some far away section of the ocean, either. Tell me what the benefit of this is to the Iranians? Nada. Zip. Zilch, that's the benefit for them. Then tell me who has the majority of the military assets in the area, the US or the Iranians?
Doesn't make sense for the Iranians to do this but it does make sense for the US, Saudis, or their current errand boys to do this and blame the Iranians.

He charged that Iran is working to disrupt the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz and this is a deliberate part of a campaign to escalate tension, adding that the U.S. will defend its forces and interests in the region, although he did not elaborate.
His comments came shortly after a senior U.S. defense official told Fox News that the U.S. Navy saw an unexploded mine attached to the hull of the Panama-listed, Japanese-owned Kokuka Courageous ship, one of the two ships attacked.
It is the same type of mine used to damage four oil tankers last month in the same area - an attack senior Pentagon officials blamed on Iran. ...”
