We will see how this plays out, Saudi Arabia hasn't disclosed what exactly happened to their tankers.

FUJAIRAH, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Saudi Arabia said Monday that two of its oil tankers were targeted in “sabotage operations” off the coast of the United Arab Emirates in attacks the previous day that caused “significant damage” to the vessels, one of them as it was en route to pick up Saudi oil to take to the United States.
The US has warned ships that “Iran or its proxies” could be targeting maritime traffic in the region. America is deploying an aircraft carrier and B-52 bombers to the Persian Gulf to counter alleged threats from Tehran.
Shortly after the Saudi announcement, Iran’s Foreign Ministry called for further clarification about what exactly happened with the vessels. The ministry’s spokesman, Abbas Mousavi, was quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying that there should be more information about the incident.
Mousavi also warned against any “conspiracy orchestrated by ill-wishers” and “adventurism by foreigners” to undermine the maritime region’s stability and security.
Right now the US is Saudi Arabia's proxy in their war against Iran. That's all.
At the same time, Saudi Arabia is bankrolling and evangelizing all of the Islamic violence in the West. All of it. Iran is not responsible for any of it, Saudi Arabia is.
Right function, wrong country. The US is Israel's proxy in their war against Iran.
Still only heard of the threat in general terms but here we go.

WASHINGTON — At a meeting of President Trump’s top national security aides last Thursday, Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan presented an updated military plan that envisions sending as many as 120,000 troops to the Middle East should Iran attack American forces or accelerate work on nuclear weapons, administration officials said.
The revisions were ordered by hard-liners led by John R. Bolton, Mr. Trump’s national security adviser. They do not call for a land invasion of Iran, which would require vastly more troops, officials said
