From that page “Two boats, each with a crew of six to eight multinational forces, were searching Iraqi and Iranian boats Friday morning in Ras al-Beesha area in the northern entrance of the Arab Gulf, but big Iranian boats came and took the two boats with their crews to the Iranian waters.”
Inflatable boats versus ‘big Iranian Boats’...seems feckless to suggest the James Bond option.
they were ON the “dhow”.....a “dhow” so large it was carrying cars as cargo.....every pic of the “dhow” in question shows it to be actually a cargo ship, large and made of steel. The witness/journalist Ian Pannel says they were onboard....
why do you wish to pretend that a defense wasn’t possible???
