None of the Iranian ships i saw had that problem, lightly armed, all.
Fingers pointed at Ragnar Danneskjold?
Well played.

Thanks! My ability to understand current events has been enhanced by reading Atlas Shrugged. It’s a primer on the Biden Administration and Democrats in general.
Just an Iran FYI.
People always look at Iran’s shoreline with the Persian Gulf and how sanctions affect the flow of oil out of there. They never look up north. Iran’s shore with the Caspian is home to many, many small oil tankers, who head to ports in Russia and Azerbaijan and Kazahkstan and Turkmenistan.
The oil from those countries is intermixed, with Iran being paid a discount. It’s good quality, diesel rich oil. Billion of dollars revenue. The sanctions . . . failure.
Then there is natural gas, with Iran the #2 reserves country in the world. They export gas locally, no LNG. Money sanctions are dodged by getting gas to Armenia paid for with electricity. Most of their gas goes to Turkey, where it is blended with other gas from elsewhere heading to Europe. Gas revenue is much less than oil.
The sanctions have been in place for literally decades and have influenced Iran policy . . . not at all.
“accident”
A remotely guided drone torpedo accident?
In better days...
Pulled a plug to let the water out ?
Ah frigate anyway
One of Iran’s most modern frigates, the Sahand, has capsized in Bandar Abbas. Recent upgrades may have made the ship more top-heavy.
Biden will have the taxpayers buy them a new one
[capsized]
SOMEBODY CALL DEMOCRAT HANK JOHNSON!!
The ship just heard Biden’s debate performance and it was too much.
It just gave up.
Link was “unavailable”.
That’s their instruction manual, only they’re going to Navalni-fy John Galt in prison.
A ship is only as good as her crew.
Recent upgrades may have made the ship more top-heavy.
