Re: Tankers being attacked.

Got to laugh at this.. It brings back to mind the Iraq videos shown by Colin Powell in an attempt to prove Iraq was moving WMD around . Remember ?

This is worse.. unclear videos trying to give logic to the world for attacking Iran. It doesn't look like the same ship in different pictures, and where was the smoke and flames ?

Re: Tankers being attacked.

Hi

The USA is putting sanctions on to stop Iran selling Oil.

Japan is till buying oil from Iran,

Why would the Iranians bomb a Japanese tanker?

Hi

The video shows an attached magnetic mine.

The holes are above waterline, mines are normally set deeper to avoid being wasted on small craft.

Either way, didn't take long for the price of crude to rise.

As long as the right and best outcome results that's all that matters.

As an aside Iran has been a latter-day Animal Farm for far too long.

Sorry Todger! I missed this thread of yours, and just posted

Sorry LD lm too old to do the tech stuff?
But the latest l have heard is that the video taken shows
Iranian boat REMOVING a magnetic mine from the japanese
tanker, which would explain the ship being stationery,
But why would anybody risk removing a ticking bomb
with the US in attendance and allready videoing the scene?
Plenty more questions to be asked?
VERY! VERY! FISHY?
