The mines were probably placed under the water line, the ship discharged cargo and the mines came above the water. That made a difference whether the vessel sank or not.

The Iranian economy is totally dependent on the export of oil. There are only two major export terminals from Iran on the Persian Gulf. Those terminals are full of oil that burns in massive tanks, pumps essential to pump the oil and a pipeline infrastructure from the oilfields to the North. All are soft vulnerable targets.

If Iran is wise they really should not piss off Israel. I hope they do.
