At the time of the attack the Japanese prime minister was in Tehran meeting the Iranian government to discuss better relations.
For some reason we are told that the Iranians decided it would be a very good idea to attack a Japanese ship.
Look at the history of Iran, after WW2 it was a democratic state until the British and Americans organised a coup and overthrew the legitimate leader and installed a dictator.
Back then the Americans used outright lies and disinformation to justify the overthrow of a legitimate government.
