Maybe the Persian Gulf needs a SOSUS type device... It is possible that the Iranians are using 'quiet, diesel' subs to perform this sabotage. The US Allies could set up such a device. Active Sonar should be able to reveal quiet subs along with 'metal detection'.
No explosions were detected. However, I remember a story in the 1980's where a Soviet sub DETACHED a 'tail' from a British sub.
According to my search of the Internet, S.O.S.U.S. is de-classified...

Subs and frogmen.
The Italians had some major successes against the British in WWII doing the exact same thing.

If we can not start a shiny new war... One of our allies can... keep the fires warm.
This Trump thing shall pass, and we can get back to business as usual. If Trump wins a second term he will be forced to initiate this war, regardless. China ain’t there yet... They lack cohesion and numbers of hardened units.
Iran is begging for retribution. We probably own them too.
War in Iran should turn into at least a decade of horror, once we invade.
Good times.

It is almost impossible to “sink” a fully laden tanker - even deliberately.

Hmmm. Wars and rumors of wars.

There was a time our country was VERY good at killing the enemys diesel subs. I cant imagine we have forgotten everything.

Whatever the unknown object, anyone onboard could be forgiven for thinking it was an explosion if it wasn't. That's some heavy metal back there.
To: WhoisAlanGreenspan?
LOL. When are the Iranians scheduled to have their soldiers board Saudi tankers and take babies out of their incubators to leave them to die ... or some shit like that?

The same reports in the UAE said the tankers had been on their way to the US after being loaded with Saudi oil.
...
I don’t think we get much Saudi oil, so I doubt this story.
