Reports out of Israel indicate that at least six ships have lost control and another British ship might be have been hijacked in or near the Gulf of Oman.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — At least six ships off the coast of the United Arab Emirates broadcast warnings Tuesday that they had lost control of their steering under unclear circumstances as British authorities reported “a potential hijack” was underway in the area.

Whom. The Chinese?
If one of those ships had an American flag it’d be yet another reason to wish Xiden didn’t steal the election. Trump would have given us another Operation Praying Mantis.
Byedone will issue a statement that they are outraged and then go back to destroying our country.
GP is garbage. Find a reliable source
Gateway Pundit has sublinks sourced within the article. Did you read them?
No because GP is trash. I don’t trust anything they publish.
Why won’t you click on their source links? What are you scared of?
I can’t understand the “irrational” GP haters.
GP breaks a lot of important stories.
Are they always 100% correct? No, but who is?
Take it ALL in. Research, review, verify, keep the “wheat, throw out the “chaff”.
(That’s a biblical reference, for you atheists)
OK, here’s the non-GP links

Rad it or not, or declare that the above two sources are garbage
Thank you!
You say that Gateway Pundit is trash??? Based on what? The left wing media telling you it is?
The ENTIRE LEFT WING MEDIA is trash!
And GP gets it right far, far more often than them, and at least publishes stories the left-wing media ignores.
six big ships losing control of their steering/heading?
sounds dubious, unlikely... but if so, I’d suspect that there is a technologically-advanced country involved with Iran
and the US Navy should definitely take note and make sure all of its vessels are immune to being hijacked or rendered inoperative like this
This is going well.
The target would be the Strait of Hormuz. It has been a vulnerability for a while, in the sense that it could be bottled up by a few tankers being sunk there.
I dont know whats causing steering loss but i can say, after spending years at sea, that you dont just lose steering and not six ships at a time.
They’re more reliable than the New York Times..
These big ships probably have electronic GPS controlled steering, I am GUESSING, and someone is screwing with the signals they are receiving.
DISCLAIMER: I am not a Naval Ship Commander, and I don’t even play one on tv.
China or Russia? What's your best guess?
Crash a few large ships into each other and allow a question mark who did it and it could give an interesting advantage to Iran. They would have time to get big boys like China and Russia to tell the West NOT to attack... while world trade grinds to a halt...
