Yesterday we saw what may have been IRGC-N autonomous underwater mines, planted in enemy harbors to be activated when needed.
This message was a glimpse on what to expect. It may have been something else but if it is a kind of disguised autonomous mine, it opens a whole new dimension of deterrence.
For now we just can be sure that this event had at least a green light from Iran.
Well if it really were an ultimatum as @PeeD suggests, then it probably was done with minimal explosive to just show the capability without hurting anyone or cause an environmental disaster by sinking an oil tanker.the damage, its too small to be from a mine.

You don't approach a ship from that side if you are a diver. Unless you like to turn into grounded beef kababthe problem is how you gonna activate the mines underwater??
my guess is it was a diver and explosive attaching to hull, considering it was a oil tanker it would be a disaster with mine.
ship was not moving as i know it was ducked in one of the UAE ports.You don't approach a ship from that side if you are a diver. Unless you like to turn into grounded beef kabab
Yes,thats what I was thinking.Perhaps a small autonomous mine or captor type weapon with a passive acoustic seeker or perhaps a wake homer.Another option might be a small electric torpedo launched from a semi submersible patrol boat or perhaps just a limpet type with a timer emplaced by a diver when the boat was stationary.I would imagine that there would be a few options.Well if it really were an ultimatum as @PeeD suggests, then it probably was done with minimal explosive to just show the capability without hurting anyone or cause an environmental disaster by sinking an oil tanker.
But I think the location of the explosion is interesting. It was definitely done by something that was submerged less than a meter below water. How doe autonomous mines work @PeeD? Do they follow the sound of the propeller ? Because it has exactly hit the ship above the propeller.

Anyway I hope that the message is received....and more importantly understood.
