Can a sea mine blast a hole on hull above water line? A sea mine hold more TNT explosive power than anti-ship missile, and is designed to sink a ship with single blast, those holes looked suspiciously small.

A replay of Gulf of Tonkin very likely. would Iranian do it (attack a Japanese tanker) while Japanese PM Abe is still in Iran? Very unlikely.

Iran sais its in charge of security in the Persian gulf

Hint hint… How can these Persian gulf wahabis expect business as usual. and enjoy the security that comes in one of the most strategic waterways on earth. If Iran is not able to use it as well? and they are actively collaborating with the US to steal Irans market share and make it happen?

how does that make any sense? IF Iran cant export oil, The wahabis shouldn't either. at least not without a price

[aziqbal]

Iran is actually doing humanitarian work by removing the US mine from the ship to avoid any more damage

Why would Iran do this they never have done this before and now when first Japanese prime minister is here first time in 40 years

Iran should tell clearly who did this

‘Flying Object’ Struck Tanker in Gulf of Oman, Operator Says, Not a Mine

TOKYO — One of the tankers that were attacked in the Gulf of Oman was struck by a flying object, the ship’s Japanese operator said on Friday, disputing at least part of the account of United States officials who had blamed Iran for the attack.

“Our crew said that the ship was attacked by a flying object,” said Yutaka Katada, the president of the operator, Kokuka Sangyo.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Thursday that American intelligence agencies had concluded that Tehran was behind the disabling of two tankers in the Gulf of Oman, a vital conduit for much of the world’s oil. Senior American officials had already blamed Iran for similar attacks last month against four tankers in the same area. Iranian officials denied any involvement in the events, which have escalated tensions in the region.

American officials released video on Thursday that they said showed an Iranian boat crew removing a limpet mine attached to the hull of the damaged Kokuka Courageous, a tanker operated by Kokuka Sangyo.

Houthi strike on the same airport on Wednesday. The Houthis said that attack was carried out using a cruise missile.

The attacks in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday occurred as the Japanese prime minister, Shinzo Abe, was meeting top officials in Iran, attempting to bridge the divide between Washington and Tehran.

Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran’s foreign minister, wrote Friday on Twitter that American officials “immediately jumped to make allegations against Iran” without evidence, showing that the United States and its allies, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, were trying to “sabotage diplomacy.”

That the US immediately jumped to make allegations against Iran—w/o a shred of factual or circumstantial evidence—only makes it abundantly clear that the #B_Team is moving to a #PlanB: Sabotage diplomacy—including by @AbeShinzo—and cover up its #EconomicTerrorism against Iran.

On Friday, the chief cabinet secretary of the Japanese government, Yoshihide Suga, declined to state a position on what had happened to the tankers.

said in a statement on Friday that the insurers of the o tankers, the Front Altair and the Kokuka Courageous, had appointed its subsidiary SMIT Salvage to salvage both vessels and their cargoes.

Boskalis said the situation of the Front Altair, which was carrying a petroleum product, was “still worrisome.” It added that the fire on board has been extinguished.

If we buy the idea of false flag then: the director of the scene knowing that Iranians will deny involvement needs an evidence so they staged the boat the fake unexploded bomb and the crew dressed as IRGC and hence the video.vala!..the case against Iran now has a video!

If we buy the Idea that Iran actually did it (I am leaning more towards that myself)..then it tells every one that "Persian Gulf is a Persian lake and has Persian masters With Persian Sticky bombs ...so every one else f*ck off and keep off..

Yeah .... We frequently say that we will

You are the dumbest person on this planet if you are excited that a war might happen. When war starts Americans wont be targeting just your military but men women and children who have nothing to do with it. They have the ability to launch a devastation far from their land and all iran can do is defend at most with no means to be aggressive at all. Anyways hope they pin you on the first line if you are that excited for a meaningless death.

Don't worry about us, wise Americans know that millions of dumbest people live in this land! that's why U.S never dares to attack.

Good luck with your own independency.
