Media in Iran have reported this evening (Tuesday) on an explosion and fire on a ship of the Iranian Navy, the Harj. The ship, which serves as a forward base for special forces, attack ships and the launch of drones, went up in flames in the Gulf of Oman.
According to reports in Iranian media, the ship returned to an unidentified port, where local forces worked to extinguish the fire. They further reported that there were no injuries in the incident.
In Iran they have denied reports on social networks that the Harj was making its way to Venezuela, alongside an additional Iranian Navy vessel, the Makron, which also functions as a forward operating base for the Revolutionary Guards. According to reports from the Iranian Navy, the ship was on its way to Russia, but the operation was cancelled.
Sounds like a good idea. Phalanx, anyone?
Two gay Iranian sailors smoking crack fumbled with it and set fire to the fuel tank they were snuggling together on.
Stuff happens.
U.S. monitoring Iranian warships that may be headed to Venezuela

Gee, they're having a few problems with their military equipment. Two Iranian pilots were recently killed when the seats of the fighter jet they were in, automatically ejected, and smashed them into the roof of the hangar. I hate when that happens too!!
“Gee, that’s a shame.”
Ping.
Maybe their Navy recruits from the same pool as their Air Force that sits in aircraft cockpits inside the hangar and pulls the ejector handle to test if it’s tight.
Allegedly, several Iranian warships are en-route to Venezuela.
I think it would be the height of hilarity if Israel tasked a couple of its submarines to interfere with that. Parts of the Atlantic Ocean are quite deep, you know. I’m sure that President Trump (2nd term) will be appreciative.
Revolutionary Guard with special forces going to Venezuela? Just a short hop skip and a jump to the US southern border.
Hiding the Al-Salami.
There are two Iranian naval vessels heading for Venezuela right now. Would be wonderful if they ran into the same problems in the middle of the Atlantic.
Be a real shame if the ships ended up in the Bermuda Triangle and disappeared.
Phalanx? Nah. Grandma’s kosher STUFFED matzoh-ball mines. If they aren’t the exploding kind, they are so hard that they will go right through any hull on earth if it “catches a good wave”.
One of my grandmothers made really good, soft matzoh-balls. The other made “cannon-balls” - the Russians used them in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904/05 but had bad aim. Otherwise they would have sunk the whole Japanese fleet in one seder sitting.
In other news, Iranian navy sinks itself!
Sounds like karma for the attack on that Israeli ship back in February.
Iranian influence expansion through naval forces has had a setback.
