“Hummm, what kind of torpedo leaps out of the water to explode above the water line?”
The last 4 they are claiming were Limpet magnetic mines possibly placed by divers.
I merely posted the headline as stated in several articles.
This could be a false flag as the mines were set to do minimal damage and not sink the ship.
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.
“The last 4 they are claiming were Limpet magnetic mines possibly placed by divers.”
That’s a joke. The maritime industry is doing disinformation to protect shipping and trade.
Hit above the water line = cruise missile. The Iranians have hundreds of varying types of cruise missiles deployed on the gulf. Some of them have ranges in excess of 900 miles.
This ship was only 25 miles from shore. It could have been targeted by Iranian shore radar.
That is my view of this.
Lipett mines are normally placed below the water line to sink the vessel. These are clearly placed above the water line to a) not sink the ship and b) allow future pics and videos to be made like Iranians (wink, wink) removing an unexploded one and the hole in the side.
It just ain't washing......more lies from someone who wants us at war.
