Informed military sources said on Monday that the UN Navy had secretly moved the vessel to the coasts of Kuwait

I didn't know the UN had a Navy.

[Ramius]

What’s this?

[ClearCase_guy]

The sources did not rule out the possibility that a blast had started the fire on the vessel that was said to be "one of the four US warships in the region," the report added.

Don't make me diagram that sentence!

This may be something...or nothing- FYI

[DoughtyOne]

This doesn’t sound good. Hope this report turns out to be way overblown.

Iran has probably put high-energy laser weapons aboard those robot drone airplanes they used to get close-range images of one of our aircraft carriers earlier this year.

They used the laser to set fire to one of our ships. Good thing they didn’t turn up the power a little more and melt the entire vessel.

“...Navy had secretly moved the vessel to the coasts of Kuwait after the fire broke out, Iran's Arabic-language TV channel Al-Alam reported.”

They should have moved it towards Iran.

This appears to be something right out of the bowels of the Iranian press.

This story has more holes than a sponge.

Pray for the safety of our sailors.

Few things are more scary than a General Quarters Fire Call with “This is not a drill!”

SPY PIGEONS

Security forces in Natanz have arrested two suspected “spy pigeons” near Iran’s controversial uranium enrichment facility, the reformist Etemad Melli newspaper reported on Monday.
One of the pigeons was caught near a rose water production plant in the city of Kashan in Isfahan province, the report cited an unnamed informed source as saying, adding that some metal rings and invisible strings were attached to the bird.

“Early this month, a black pigeon was caught bearing a blue-coated metal ring, with invisible strings,” the source was quoted as saying of the second pigeon.

The source gave no further description of the pigeons, neither their current status nor what their fate will be.

Natanz is home to Iran’s heavily-bunkered underground uranium enrichment plant, which is not far from Kashan.

The activity is the focus of Iran’s five-year standoff with the West, which that fears it aims to develop nuclear weapons.

Tehran vehemently denies the charge.

Last year, Iran issued a formal protest over the use of espionage by the United States to produce a key intelligence report on the country’s controversial nuclear programme.

secretly moved the vessel

Not that secret if it’s on here huh?

Fire is the biggest threat at sea.

[NavyCanDo]

Regardless of the cause, Fire on a ship is a very frightening thing indeed. And which is why every sailor is trained at fighting fires.

UN Navy

Press TV's way of saying they think the election's in the bag for Obama.

[relee]

Iranian reports? This may turn out to be a Hungarian ship transporting humanitarian aid pulling in to port for equipment repairs.

I’d like more information, but I’m not sure that I need more information.
