The U.S. militarys Central Command has released a video and some still photographs on June 14 that it says shows Irans Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) removing an unexploded limpet mine from one of the oil tankers that was targeted near the strategic Strait of Hormuz on June 13, suggesting that Iran sought to remove evidence of its involvement from the scene.
U.S. Central Command spokesman Bill Urban released the black-and-white footage and two still color photographs. The military says the video shows an IRGC Gashti Class patrol boat approaching the Kokuka Courageous and was observed and recorded removing (an) unexploded limpet mine from the M/T Kokuka Courageous.

VIDEO at link..................
You are playing with fire this morning, badger...
Not me.
Iran.....................
I want to believe. Part of me does believe. But experience has taught believing is for unicorn wranglers.
Wasn’t that John Kerry Standing on the front of that boat near the end of the video??
You weren’t awake yet for the previous wars...uhh...threads about this?
They were life threatening.
Not our circus, not our monkeys. These vessels were Japanese and Norwegian. Let them attack Iran. Unless our vessels or assets are attacked, we should stay out.
That doesn’t say that we shouldn’t have a few trolling missions ongoing, however...
Sticks and stones .............
I believe one thread was pulled because of “mass nitwittery”.
I guess that is a cousin of douchebaggery?
The video clearly shows Iranians throwing babies out of incubators while making anti-LGBT comments.
Foolish people on here think it’s just a coincidence that the Iranians being the wonderful do gooders they are were on the scene and decided to dispatch an immediate demolition crew to help the wounded tanker.
Incivility has caused more than one thread to be pulled from FR...............
I think it is just as bad to assume it is a false flag or other type of setup as it is to assume that Iran did it.
Either is possible. It is best to wait until we have information available (perhaps such as this video, perhaps not, we shall see) then decide on what kind of action is or is not needed on our part.
I just think both assumptions without appropriate information are foolhardy.
:: a false flag or other type of setup as it is to assume that Iran did it. ::
Did I say that it was a FF or that Iran did it? Don’t thnk so. I believe the CIA did it.
“They were life threatening.”
I saw that, it’s happened before. Skeptics VS Holy Warriors.
It would be better if they had a vid of them putting one in.
“I believe the CIA did it.”
No! Our beloved protectors of truth and goodness? Didn’t they recently have a Communist Muslim at the helm?
What specifically would Iran gain by doing this? I don’t have a good answer for that.
Just run the video backwards................
