Here's the first three paragraphs of the AP report on what happened to four ships that were attacked off the coast of Bahrain:
If you needed any proof that Iran or its agents did the bombing, consider this: About five hours before (that's right before) the first explosion, Iranian news media reported that there had been explosions in the port in Bahrain. There had been no such explosions. Of course, a few hours later, there were. Someone in Iran screwed up and got the report out too soon.
Meanwhile, oil pipelines in Saudi Arabia are being attacked by drones with weapons. So far, the attempts to interfere with Saudi oil production have been unsuccessful, but one lucky shot by a drone could cause chaos.
We don't have all the information, but most likely there will be some sort of major response. I'm guessing that we've seen the last oil tanker leave Iran for a while, but time will tell.
WASHINGTON (AP) — An
American military team’s initial assessment is that Iranian or Iranian-backed
proxies used explosives Sunday to blow large holes in four ships anchored off
the coast of the United Arab Emirates, a US official said Monday.
The official said each ship
has a 5- to 10-foot hole in it, near or just below the water line, and the
team’s early belief is that the holes were caused by explosive charges.
The team of US military
experts was sent to investigate the damages at the request of the UAE, but
American officials have not provided any details about what exactly happened or
any proof as yet about the possible Iranian involvement in the explosions.
