Had a hole in it?

What a coinkidink.

Probably nothing we or Israel did. More likely a poor maintenance issue got out of hand.

Dear pedo-mullahs:

You sad... (click and enjoy. Hip-Hop with a little Brasilian rhythm.)

I hope there weren’t any guns or weapons on this warship.

Terrible boating accident, just terrible.

Will Biden offer to give them one of our surplus ships as a replacement and a gesture of good will between terrorists?

High energy lasers with military applications are becoming a reality. They can be based in space, and on aircraft. What they hit, they ignite.

The Iranians have been having an awful lot of work accidents. Maybe using GOLDSTEIN AND GOLDSTEIN as consultant s to setup their OSHA safety regulations was not a good idea... lol

Nice ship you have there. Be weird if it... had a fire.

The Brits were fond of using a lot of magnesium in their ship building at the time. Once a fire started, it would be near impossible to stop as shown by the HMS Sheffield during the Falklands in 82.

From the linked article
In April, an Iranian ship called the MV Saviz believed to be a Guard base and anchored for years in the Red Sea off Yemen was targeted in an attack suspected to have been carried out by Israel. It escalated a years long shadow war in Mideast waters between the two countries. The sinking of the Kharg marks the latest naval disaster for Iran. In 2020 during an Iranian military training exercise, a missile mistakenly struck a naval vessel near the port of Jask, killing 19 sailors and wounding 15. Also in 2018, an Iranian navy destroyer sank in the Caspian Sea..."

Four vessels in the last three years. And people around the world wonder why putting nuclear arms in the hands of these people would be bad (apart from the Iranians constantly promising to "wipe Israel off the face of the Earth, and non-stop chants for 42 years of "Death to America".

Trusting Iran to safely handle radioactive materials is like expecting their surface ships to stay on the surface. It is like trusting Ted Kennedy (or pretty much any leftist) to handle chauffer duties for young women. How could it get screwed up?

Leftists everywhere would say: "Oh, don't be so literal. Of course the Iranians don't intend to wipe Israel from the face of the Earth with nuclear weapons, and "Death to America" is a cultural touchstone for them. They don't really mean anything by that!"

Sounds like Yawn Kerry was on the bridge?

A thermite mine sounds plausible and a perfect response to Iranian activities targeting other ships.
