Two tankers have been targeted this morning while transiting waters near to Fujairah. Frontline’s fully laden LR 2Front Altair was hit by surface attacks, and an enormous fire ensued forcing the crew to abandon ship. The crew were safely picked up by nearby general cargoship, Hyundai Dubai. Bernhard Schulte’s chemical tanker Kokuka Courageous was also hit.
And Imperial Japan was at least as fanatical as Iran, catch my drift?
I hope it’s not a Deep State false flag to pull Trump deeper into proactively prodding Iran into confrontation.
Marshall Islands registered vessel. The Marshall Islands is a semi-dependency of the US, so it kind of is the US’s problem. What puzzles me though is Britain seems to be leading the investigation or taking responsibility. How is this our problem?
Oil is fungible. If Iranian supply is taken out, all oil prices go up on account of the law of supply and demand.
The Germans were just visiting, too.
Busy place, Tehran.
Interesting read.
But you're a visionary, my FRiend!
Per CNN FAKE NEWS
What’s confirmed: All 21 crew members aboard the Kokuka Courageous abandoned the vessel after it was “attacked” twice with “some sort of shell,” per the ship’s Japanese owner. All 23 crew were evacuated from the Front Altair after an explosion on board the tanker, according to the vessel’s manager.
Per CNN FAKE NEWS
Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has said “suspicious doesn’t begin to describe” the incident involving two tankers in the Gulf of Oman this morning.
Zarif said news of the reported attacks on Japan-linked tankers broke while Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was meeting Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
One of the two tankers involved in the incident, Kokuka Courageous, is owned by Japan-based company Kokuka Sangyo. According to Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry both tankers were carrying “Japan-related cargo.”
Abe is currently in Tehran on a visit viewed as an attempt to mediate US-Iran tensions — it is also the first trip by a Japanese premier since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Or maybe your Russian pals'?
Democrats telling Iran “NOW IS THE TIME!” ?
Now that President Trump has restored sanity to American oil production, I suspect we can undercut Russia and save Europe from having to deal with Putin.
We have been doing that for some time now. You’re just not supposed to know about it.

Isn't that interesting. A possible motive for Russia to somehow be involved.
The best thing President Trump can do with Iran, and I pray that he is, would be to back the resistance 129%.
Let the Iranian people get rid of the mullahs they despise. Obama turned his back on those young people who begged him for even an acknowledgement in one of his wretched speeches.
Hopefully, we have covert assets on the ground.
Let’s not allow dear Neda’s death to have been for naught.
The News-Summary Intelligence Report on the blog is up this morning with the 7 am Eastern view of things....

Let’s see what John Kerry and entourage have to say, as they’ve been negotiation with Iran lately.
Hmm... flying torpedoes.
Leaping torpedoes?
OK, the ship was in a hard turn and heeling when the thing struck? Ship regains even keel, damage is above the waterline...
How many American military people do you want to end up killing and maiming when it escalates to war?
