Two foreign tankers or one enormous tanker carrying Iraqi fuel oil were subjected to unidentified attacks inside territorial waters, causing them to catch fire, Iraq’s director general of the General Company for Ports, Farhan al-Fartousi, told Reuters on Wednesday.
If this proves nothing else, it proves Iranian terrorists must be stopped. They will blow up the world if not stopped. Believe them when they tell you they blow up Israel and the US. They’re religious fanatics and will use nuclear weapons to destroy millions of people if they can.
One widely circulated video of the fiery assault was shared by the Iraqi news channel Sabreen News. The footage showed a large vessel engulfed in flames, with heavy black smoke billowing high above the water.
Iraqi officials later told Reuters that boats packed with explosives struck two fuel tankers in the area. The vessels were operating along one of the busiest oil shipping routes in the world.
According to officials, one of the vessels flying the Australian flag was struck near Khor Al-Zubair Port. The attack occurred in a loading area within Iraqi territorial waters, according to an AP report.
Iraq evacuated the 25 crew members from the two vessels, and fire is still ablaze on both ships, he added. Whether some weren’t rescued, we can’t say.

Hezbollah sent over 100 bombs into Israel, overwhelming the Iron Dome. Trump said one day you might have a weak president like Barack Obama and the world would be captive to religious fanatics.
Iran told the US that it will not be able to artificially lower oil prices.

This news is very discouraging to say the least. Our Intel must’ve been wrong. Was Trump mislead? From my perspective it doesn’t look like Iran is backing down. Quite the contrary. Where’s the cease fire? What about peace talks? We can’t keep pounding Iran and not expect them to sit idly by and do nothing.
President Trump is very much being mislead, he has so many people in his cabinet that don’t want what’s best for him and hide allot of the truth. Same goes for congress, they are not working for his agenda, if they were they’d recess and let him appoint judges and such
CENTCOM, Rubio, Kushner, Wiles and Witkoff are the main candidates for having misled Trump. He has made so many ridiculous statements.
If Tulsi and Caine (joint chiefs head) tell you the attack will not work, and you still do it, then there is something wrong with you.
In the first term Trump was ensnared with Russia-gate, covid and other things. This time it is Iran. He should have known better. The true believers cling to the “we had to do it now” slant.
The intel from Tulsi said the attack was risky and Iran would not be overthrown. The joint chiefs said the same. Trump was misled, but not by patriot Tulsi or his own personally selected head of the joint chiefs of staff. That man came out of retirement for Trump. What I see here is people loyal to Trump were truthful to him.
How can Iran back down? It was hit with a surprise attack. It’s infrastructure is destroyed, by Israel, against USA wishes.
It was known the entire time that the USA could not secure the Strait, and now, the Navy has admitted it. Hence, Trump’s claims we would secure the Strait were due to him being tricked.
