Agreed, however fighting against Jews, Israel, International Jewry/zionism is our Iranian duty. They're enemy of Iranian nationalism, Iranian independency, Iranian geography.
If that was true then why did Iran have good relations with Israel before the mullahs' gang took over the country?

All Iranian jews should be deported to Israel, and Israel must become small as possible -
On the other hand, it's clear that you are an enemy of Zionism, Israeli independence, Israeli geography, and of the Jewish people.

So you're projecting your own evil qualities onto innocent others. No paradise for you, is there?
 
.
Your Zionist colours are showing, everyone on my end of the political spectrum can tell this was a blatant false flag. Anyone above room temp IQ can tell this was a false flag with nothing to gain.

The Zio-Americans have a history of starting wars based on false flag attacks on ships

-Lusitania
-Gulf of Tonkin
-USS Liberty (attempted)

They also tried to do one before with Iran, remember Sahand?

You're literally some bad actor coming on this forum telling Iranians to "trust the plan".

First of all Let me just say you are a misinformed moron.

People on here need to make everything a conspiracy theory. The US doesn’t want war with Iran and if someone wanted to bait the US and Iran into a war they would stage an attack on US personnel not a civilian tanker.

Dick Cheney wanted to stage a false flag attack back in 2000’s by having US soldiers dressed up as IRGC in speedboat attack a US military vessel.

Again US won’t go to war for some random oil tankers especially a war it would lose.

If you bothered following the news you would see US sanctioned Iran petrochemical industry and then shortly after these tankers were attacked. What were they carrying? Petrochemicals!

Iran is sending a message wether it’s oil, petrochemical, or natural gas. If Iran isn’t able to export through PG then no one is.

Now go back under your rock.

Plausible deniability: Iran sent a group of experts to investigate the mine to find the source of the attack (U.S wold do the same). Upon arrival they identified the mine type, a known one and took it for investigation.

I mean the ship was attacked 6-7 a.m and the mine was removed 10 hours later? If that group planted the mine, realizing it does not explode, they would go back 7-8 a.m and clear it up. Not 4 p.m when everyone is already there and looking.
So either the group went to sleep after the op and returned 10 hours later to cover it up, a sign of huge incompetence.
Or, they wanted to learn who carried out the attack, getting the evidence before the Americans.
Or something in between.

First of all as soon as the tanker was attacked shortly after a distress signal was released and US aircraft were in the air. Hence why there is video.

So there would be no way of knowing that one of the two limpet mines didn’t explode unless they were physically watching the ship from the distance.

Lastly it does not show “bravery” that a boat full of soldiers pulls up to a unexploded mine (wether it was Iran’s or not). It shows incompetence because if that mine malfunctioned and accidentally explodes it would kill everyone on that speedboat. Usually a bomb squad would be sent with two specialists not 10 regular sailors.

So obviously there was a rush to get the evidence. Again if this operation was plotted by a state actor they would likely use mines that cannot be easily traced back to the source or any evidence would be circumstantial. It’s not like the mine will say MADE IN ISRAEL OR MADE IN IRAN on it.

Even if the mine was US and happened to say made in US by US military, if Iran presented it to the world they would say its fabricated. So either way it’s a lose lose for Iran.

Like I said it was Iran or Iran backed surrogates attacking tankers carrying petrochemicals shortly after Iran’s petrochemical industry was sanctioned. Again a message by Iran.

Nobody is going to go to war with Iran over oil tankers not even during 80’s oil tanker war did US have appetite to escalate military confrontation to a full blown war/invasion. So certainly 40 years later it’s not going to change.

Pentagon wanted Vietnam war, right now no respectable general in Pentagon wants war with iran. So false flag ops will be unlikely.

If attack was at 6-7 a.m , be sure that IRGC Navy assets were watching the scene at least 2-3 hours later. Certainly detecting the unexploded mine just due to the lower damage.
So why did they wait 10 hours to get rid of the evidence?

Reason is again a message: Abe Abdollah boys can do what they want.
A spy tactic is to go with 10 people on board to get the malfunctioning mine. Reason? Americans watching the scene will ask themselves what kind of crazy fearless guys these are.
As said: Iran showed that it can play the role of the police as well, go and collect the evidence 10 hours after the attack. Messages after messages.

U.S. CENTCOM Statement on June 13 Limpet Mine Attack in the Gulf of Oman
Story Number: NNS190613-20 Release Date: 6/13/2019 10:20:00 PM

By Capt. Bill Urban, U.S. Central Command Public Affairs
TAMPA (NNS) -- U.S. Naval Forces in the region received two separate distress calls at 6:12 a.m. local time from the motor tanker (M/T) Altair and a second one at 7a.m. local time from the M/T Kokuka Courageous.

Both vessels were in international waters in the Gulf of Oman approximately 10 nautical miles apart at the time of the distress calls. USS Bainbridge was approximately 40 nautical miles away from the M/T Altair at the time of the attack, and immediately began closing the distance.

At 8:09 a.m. local time a U.S. aircraft observed an IRGC Hendijan class patrol boat and multiple IRGC fast attack craft/fast inshore attack craft (FAC/FIAC) in the vicinity of the M/T Altair.

At 9:12 a.m. local time a U.S. aircraft observes the FAC/FIAC pull a raft from the M/T Altair from the water.

At 9:26 a.m. local time the Iranians requested that the motor vessel Hyundai Dubai, which had rescued the sailors from the M/T Altair, to turn the crew over to the Iranian FIACs. The motor vessel Hyundai Dubai complied with the request and transferred the crew of the M/T Altair to the Iranian FIACs.

At 11:05 a.m. local time USS Bainbridge approaches the Dutch tug Coastal Ace, which had rescued the crew of twenty-one sailors from the M/T Kokuka Courageous who had abandoned their ship after discovering a probable unexploded limpet mine on their hull following an initial explosion.

While the Hendijan patrol boat appeared to attempt to get to the tug Coastal Ace before USS Bainbridge, the mariners were rescued by USS Bainbridge at the request of the master of the M/T Kokuka Courageous. The rescued sailors are currently aboard USS Bainbridge.

At 4:10 p.m. local time an IRGC Gashti Class patrol boat approached the M/T Kokuka Courageous and was observed and recorded removing the unexploded limpet mine from the M/T Kokuka Courageous (video attached).


The U.S. and our partners in the region will take all necessary measures to defend ourselves and our interests. Today's attacks are a clear threat to international freedom of navigation and freedom of commerce.

The U.S. and the international community, stand ready to defend our interests, including the freedom of navigation.

The United States has no interest in engaging in a new conflict in the Middle East. However, we will defend our interests.

Peed I appreciate your great analysis in technical specifications of military weapon systems.

But with all due respect your analysis of geopolitical chess moves is amateur. No the Americans are not sitting saying “what kind of crazy fearless guys” are these.

Americans have gone up against Nazi SS and Imperial Japan Kamikaze pilots and the true “crazy” Vietcong forces. So in all honesty, IRGC isn’t even top 5 of “craziest” soldiers the US has faced off against.

Nonetheless, Iran taking the limpet mine irregardless of the time destroys evidence that would otherwise fall into US hands.

If Iran is accused of this, Iran can say prove the mine was ours and without the mine the US has a video of soldiers removing an unknown origin explosive. That is circumstantial evidence at best and doesn’t prove anything. So again Iran wins by removing it even though they got “caught”.

Iran never had good relation with jews. I'm anti-semite because I have to protect innocent lives.

According to a very senior source in the Israeli Military of Defence the weapons deal with Iran were fraudulent. With each of the six joint projects, the Israelis planned to deceive the Iranians by providing them only an outdated version of the weapon in question, while using Iranian money to build a new generation for Israel's exclusive use.

Yaakov Shapiro, the Defense Ministry official in charge of coordinating the negotiations with Iran from 1975 to 1978, recalls: "In Iran they treated us like kings. We did business with them on a stunning scale. Without the ties with Iran, we would not have had the money to develop weaponry that is today in the front line of the defense of the State of Israel."

Holy cow, ajam of resistance axis have some dignity and quit claiming false flag every time, it makes you look weak. At least Nasrallah(non ajam) screams out loud we will burn the region at the Friday Khutbah, hehe.

@Behram Khilji

Why your brave Iranic people scared to admit responsibility? :partay: :partay:

Cut the false flag bullshit. Iranian leader himself warned no one in region will export oil if iran cannot on its own. They , Hezbollah and Houthis threaten Saudi Arabia every week and their minions on this forum demonize Saudi Arabia all day long. They have very fiery urge to attack Saudis and it is definitely them behind these oil tanker attacks.
Most likely right. I believe Iran's strategy now is this : Attack US, by attacking her "tentacles" aka proxies and allies in the region. Its true Iran wont try a direct attack on US since that would give US good excuse to go HAM on Iran militarily, but i have no doubt Iran isnt afraid of attacking US allies be it KSA, UAE, Israel. Iran wont do it directly, but Iran will give(and has given orders) for either IRGC or regional proxies to lash out against US allies that neighbor Iran. everyone fights in the way that best advantages them.

The US has banned all exports of Iranian oil. This is an act of war. The Iranians have always said that if they can't export oil, neither will any other gulf state. This could be the beginning of Iran's fight back against the US.
Agreed.

Iran has surely started its campaign. US guarantees Iran goes broke, and Iran is going to guarantee US and her allies in the ME see no peace. US and EU are AFRAID of Iran that decides to lash out violently. Dont kid yourselves. that US aircraft carrier will never enter the Persian gulf until US and Iran reduce their tensions considerably.

I honestly believe Trump administration was not expecting this, and probably were advised against oil sanctions but went ahead of it to score a win against democrats. They are making a mistake if they see this as cookie points by scrapping Obama orchestrated deal when this is about to become an international crisis issue. UAE and Saudi Arabia don't know how to go about this, they have a lot more to lose than Iran. People here on other hand understate severity of these oil sanctions, Iran is dependent on oil and they will not wait months or over a year or two in this state. Iran will up the ante and continue laying mines in the area, first hit on tankers left dents but now these explosions are more lethal and big fires breaking out.

International community will not agree with Iran's actions here but they are certainly going to point out it could have been avoided if nuclear deal wasn't scrapped and oil sanctions weren't enforced. So this summer is going to get interesting.
