UAE says 4 ships targeted by ‘sabotage’ off its coast

[Arabi]

They do not want to come off as rushing to judgment in front of the international community. And it's not clear if they hit sea mines or something else that would be more difficult to directly implicate Iran. Also if they say that then they may provide military protection for oil tankers or have to take some kind of measures to not look weak in front of their people. It's not wise to implicate Iran directly for now, you have to draw up post-strategy first. This incident has put KSA and UAE in an awkward situation as it not clear if this acts will continue and if providing military protection is a good idea or not. Imo, this situation is because of ill advised oil sanctions by Trump which went too far. Now they have nothing to lose and the Gulf nations(because of oil) will be the most affected.

It's still early morning in the Arab world so we will have to wait and see how this plays out and if there are new statements.

Sanctions on the Mullah regime are all good and they should be even harsher than now. Despite the hostilities of Iran and its retaliate actions against some oil tankers, the sanctions won't and shouldn't be gone anytime soon but the situation could escalate. No matter what really happened today, Saudi Arabia shouldn't take unilateral actions and let the U.S get involved more in the situation. We should make it possible for both Iran and the U.S to confront each other and to hash out their differences by weapons.

Doesn't look good for Iran at the moment Mossad called it last week and most people though it was an over reaction.
Press TV makes the mistake of reporting on the attack before it happens rather than after.
No usual knee jerk reaction of immediately blaming Iran.

Seems the only thing taking time is making sure the Saudis UAE and US are on the same page before the response is anounced

These words are similar for me. Americans are waiting for Saudis to attack Iran and Saudis are waiting for Americans.
there is not evidence point to Iran for this attack
As I said before that is false flag operation by Saudis.

I expect more false flag attacks happen in region in next days to blame more on Iran.

How ever world is awake and won't fall in American/Saudis trap by that such false attacks..

I think you misunderstand the US position. Republicans tore up the deal just to score points against the democrats. Then to be different from the democrats they decide to enforce new set of deadly sanctions, thinking this will force Iran to the table to rewrite a new agreement for no reason. This is how republicans think it will play out, and I do not believe they actually seek a war in the region. Trump doesn't understand the details and his advisers aren't informing him of the details and gravity of such sanctions. All they tell him is they are adding pressure for a new deal. And he plays along as he does not know better.

PS: Saudi foreign ministry made a statement which doesn't seem strong. While US is still silent.

From first day I said Americans are bluffing.
We are still waiting for Almighty American aircraft career.
in the last 30 years Iran faced with at least one of them in Persian gulf.

even if Americans nuke Iran, Iran won't surrender.

Trump is gambler and his hand is empty now, so he is bluffing.

US will not use any nukes in any war in the region. They are not bluffing but they have no interest in a Gulf war breaking out. This is just republicans making ill advised foreign policy decisions as far as the oil sanctions and other economic sanctions go.

Something that this Persian gulf Arabs can't understand is that America is oil self sufficient and do not care about them more. USA want democracy in Arabian peninsula but before that they must get back their dollars from these monarchs.
As I said worst situation for Iran is being nuke. I consider that.

Yes he is gambler and bluffing is part of that.

MSCI Advisory
2019-006-Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, Gulf of Oman, Arabian Sea, Gulf of Aden, Bab-el-Mandeb, and Red Sea-Threats to U.S. Interests from Iran
Since early May, there is an increased possibility that Iran and/or its regional proxies could take action against U.S. and partner interests, including oil production infrastructure, after recently threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz. Iran or its proxies could respond by targeting commercial vessels, including oil tankers, or U.S. military vessels in the Red Sea, Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, or the Persian Gulf.

No "publicly available", information at this time but some one knew what was coming, wait a few days for the full story.

All hail the Jewish Messhiach ben David

 

[Thorough Pro]

Looks like a false flag to provide an excuse to attack Iran. Iranians are not stupid enough to do something like this at this time

 

[Enigma SIG]

TBH; Iran isn't stupid to give GCC and their allies reason to annihilate their country.

 

[mangekyo]

How very convenient

 

[Śakra]

These eranis are the biggest troublemakers in the world. Disrupt the world oil supply and America won’t be the only country dropping bombs on you vainglorious inbreds.

The ship which damaged by Emirates false flag attack

 

[Hack-Hook]

The attack on UAE ships was probably planned by Iran and it can't get away with it.
Almayadeen, an Iran-funded news channel, was the first news channel to announce the attack on its screen?
That's cannot be a coincidence

Our news channels are always publishing the news that others want to hide.
Sometimes they succeed to hide facts sometimes the truth can't be hidden . and it's one of the reason that they don't like our news channel they don't have any power over them to made them publish their version of truth.
