Two missiles set an Iranian tanker on fire near the Saudi coast
Two missile explosions, 20 minutes apart, set a tanker belonging to the National Iranian Oil Company on fire in the Red Sea on Friday, Oct. 11, 95km from the Saudi port city of Jeddah. Iranian state media IRNA said the explosions damaged two storerooms aboard the oil tanker and caused an oil spill into the Red Sea.
Iran’s Nour news agency, close to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, later said the situation was under control and no crew members were injured. It gave the the vessel different names, “Sanitized” or “Sabity” or “Sinopa”
The US Navy’s 5th Fleet, which oversees the region, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The explosions came after a series of attacks attributed to Iran, including the shooting down of a US drone over the Strait of Hormuz, attacks on tankers sailing in the Gulf and, finally, the cruise missile-drone assault on Saudi oil facilities which halved its output.
DEBKAfile: If a missile strikes is confirmed. this would be the first time since that series of attacks began to unfold five months ago that an Iranian oil tanker was targeted.
The incident may have two possible sources:
- The two missiles were fired from the Saudi coast or a Saudi missile boat. This would represent Riyadh’s payback for the missile-drone assault that disabled a Saudi oil field and refinery on Sept. 14. For now, no comment has been forthcoming from any Saudi source.
- A third party which maintains a missile boat presence in the Red Sea.
If the Saudis were responsible, the incident is capable of triggering a major outbreak of hostilities, including the trading of missile strikes between the oil kingdom and Iran. If it was a third party, Tehran may decide to pin the blame on Israel. On Thursday, Oct. 10, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu revealed for the first time that Israel was pondering a pre-emptive attack on Iran to thwart its plans for an assault on Israel.
God makes no mistakes…. We know who have shot !
we should join with Russia and level any country involved in polluting the ocean, including saudi. kill them all and have a ball and end this F’n crisis….
Quit worshiping the earth, to heck with the environment. Armageddon is soon at hand
Unfortunately,
Israel cannot use nuclear arms against Hezbollah because Lebanon is next to Israel and the nuclear fallout will render Israel uninhabitable for several decades.
This is the dirty little secret hidden in plain sight by Israeli politicians.
This situation would enable Hezbollah to hit crucial Israeli infrastructure including the Israeli nuclear plant and military airfields before Israel is able to neutralize Hezbollah’s relatively sophisticated missiles.
So,
Hitting Iran with nuclear arms will pretty much spell the end for Israel. And conventional weapons are not enough to subjugate Iran.
A peaceful solution is the only viable solution, it appears, my Jewish friends.
You are advised to proceed with great caution.
You haven’t a clue what you are talking about. Israel could level Lebanon in a day without a problem, and then find itself free to deal with Iran if need be. “dirty little secret” what an idiot.
The wind blows to the East.,, not South.
And Israel knows how to use low fallout weapons – the so-called neutron bomb- also called the tin-can concept.
Doesn’t the same apply to Iran hitting Israel–how can it do that without wiping out the “Palestine” that Iran pretends to care about so deeply?
Russia pollutes a lot of oceans too…
In soviet Russia, ocean pollutes you.
your an idiot…
Idiot, think twice before opening your useless mouth.
Interesting that Israel taking blame is becoming constructive for Peace! It was the opposite before. The Pan Arab dream, Peace through persecution…hope the Arabs have enough sense to realize Allah will take revenge of ill intentioned liars and idiots.
So sorry for the damage to the environment.
Muslims are bad for the environment, not petrol. 🙂
vile & toxic thrash, unfit to mingle among the civilized…
Mossad at work…
Well maybe or IDF
There was an Israeli sub in the area. But Idt their torpedos are that weak. It’s more likely the Aegis Ashore anti-air missiles that can be used in an anti-ship role. They have weak warheads for ships. Most likely.
Israel better get better weapons than those that failed to protect KSA, given you guys are somehow allies with a sworn enemy…both religions disallowing cooperation specifically between each other.
pssss you know soooo mutch .I’m impressed. what depths of wisdom! a really
creative thinker!
IDF is not stupid —if and when we attack it will be mullahs, navy, nukes, and big oil reserves
Women and children too
You wish women and children. Stop projecting Fakestinian.
Which terrorist organization did you say you belonged to? Please do tell.
Hope so. All of yours
That will be the first ‘victimization’ ploy your Arabs will use to turn world opinion against Israel defending itself.
And it is a regular tactic for Arabs to use their women and children to act as human shields and even carry suicide bombs.
Such noble people!
Agreed, a ship is just a floating gas station, it does not fit Israel’s target profile.
kilroy:did you see the neighbours there?all adepts of the religion of peace,no comment
Kilroy… Mossad Smarter & More Capable Than This Nonsensical Attack Off Arabian Coasts?
It couldn’t have been Mossad, they’re too busy manipulating the weather.
Payback time ?? But then who cares ?? Trump certainly not!!!
Saudis did that. Israel don’t pollute oceans.
Why exclude the Iranians themselves?
Quite right, this is a real possibility esp given light damage.
Correct, the international community would have a filed day if Israel caused an oil spill.
who ever did this , god bless them, whethers its the saudis ,the americans or the Israelis … good job and keep it up
1 front against the terrorist mulla state of iran “btw iran in arabic means 2 d!cks”
2 d!cks? That’s perfect because the symbol in the middle of the iranian flag is a drawing of female private parts (inner and outer parts). Really.
HE HE HE !
(( I ))
Quite so!
They want to say “we are the sons of the Big Sharmouta”
It was about time someone hit back at Iran. Trump sitting on his hands incited more brazen Iranian aggression. The more he repeated “we don’t want war with Iran” he sent a green light to Teheran. The firing of Bolton another signal. The non-reaction to the tanker and refinery attacks more confirmation for the Iranians that they can act with impunity. Reminds me of Obama’s backdown on his red line in Syria. Who will trust the US now after the betrayal of the Syrian Kurds? The Russians, Iranians etc. can state justifiably that we are reliable allies not the US. I once supported Trump or at least gave him the benefit of the doubt. No longer. He is a disaster.
Maybe Trump held back in part because he wanted to see the Saudis grow a pair and hit back?
Gross miscalculation
saudi arabia fired back…….more to come
Just wait for the payback from the real master of reciprocal action, the world is getting better and better thanks to Trump and Bibi.
Explosions explosions explosions, rings of fire, Israeli hand cannot Miss, when some are taking of future war, Israel started it Long ago,they will know when it’s about to end….let the Americans learn courage
ahmed calls himself”robert” the pig from tehran of the satanic ayatollahs which bombed saudi arabia recently
Not Israel’s style. Targeting an oil tanker in no way benefits them. Their attacks are more strategic. This is just outright messy. Environmental disaster.
I agree, targeting an oil tanker looks so obtuse to me that my thoughts turned to a possible Iranian “false flag” operation. No crew member injured, and situation soon under control? Maybe the IRGC put a couple of explosive charges in convenient locations.
Not Israel. If Israel was going to do something it wouldn’t be this. Israel is only interested in stopping real threats and would only hit real military targets. Munitions Depots or Launch Facilities etc. not economic. This is Saudi for sure.
Karma IS nice !
Why was Iran tanker in Red Sea?
DON THE CON IS LOCKED AND LOADED!
Sounds preemptive to me
Maybe long range cruise missiles in the storeroom bound for Yemen to fire at Israel with plausible deniability for Iran. Israel found out and managed to blow them up in the storeroom. Hard to make a precision missile hit from outside – methinks a re herring in the Red Sea.
IDF does not work in such small scales. This was someone who wants war.
The Iranians and/or Houthis did it themselves.
They’re doing this to paint themselves a victim and justify continued aggression
Could well be, why always suspect Israel and U.S. of false flag attacks. Or people always blame Engeland and the EU Illuminati whatever, but why not the mullahs who did it? Either way; escalation is in the cards. It happened, in a way it doesn’t really matter who or why. It happened because G’d allowed it to happen, and G’d allows Israel to defend itself, no matter what.
Yup, the minimal damage suggests just this
NissimX… Is Correct, “Smells” An “Unknown” Old “Fox” Only Iranian IRGC & Proxies Too Stupid To Fire On Wrong Ships & Blame Others Done In A Way To Look The Other Way. Three Names for One Ship Reveals Much Too. The Name “Sinopa” Is Of Native American Blackfoot Origin Meaning “Fox”? “Sanitized®”, Is A Trademark Stands For Comprehensive Odor Management In Textiles & Shoes?? “Sabity” Is A Word of Unknown Origins??? Clearly, IRGC Onlt Stupid Enough To Do It With 3 Names Changes!!!
The fact that Iran wants to take over Mecca makes this attack look like a false flag to approach from Jeddah port to Mecca. This attack will invite the Iranian navy to blockade Jeddah/Mecca which will be one prong. The other prongs will be the Houthis from the south (Yemen) and the PMF from the north (Iraq). Thus, there may be three prongs by Iran towards Mecca. The area where this happened is very strategic for this. The question to ask is how this will help Iran reach its goal of taking over Mecca.
Abu… Shiia Kicked out Of Mecca in 632 CE-AD & 21 Centuries Still Unhappy About Allah Not Allowing Shiia Blood Feud Fuels & Fools To Prevail. Inshallah As G-d Wills!
Trumptard says there will be major retribution. The USA is pulling out of the middle east but they still spew a lot of threats and hot air. And in another statement Trump re-iterates “we have your back Israel” WINK WINK
Vengence… Firing On One Tanker Is as Lame As It Gets Except You Exceeded That With Your Postings, LOL!
Only morons would think or suggest Israel. There is no strategic advandage. Iran might have other enemies that are that stupid or maybe no missiles but an on board accident. Other most likely Iran itself so it could blame the jews and start their nazi campaign.
It was the Houthi’s!
Couldn’t have happened to nicer guys: the donkey-brained ayatollahs…
Total war in inevitable… https://raptureandendtimes.com/2019/07/13/russia-attacks-israel-the-crimea-strategy/
You are wrong … the cause is a Shiite command in charge of destroying the environment in the Mediterranean and the Red Sea … they are very intelligent and will continue to be so … The West must take its toll on this fanatic garbage. If you don’t attack them, they will continue killing.
The Revolutionary Guards are not that dumb … they are progressive murderers! And very professional!
European Dreamer… Disagree, IRGC Are That Dumb, They Are Servants Of Iranian Shiia Regime That Could Beat Saddam Hussein For Over 8 Years! Only Victors Respected In Mideast No One Likes Losers!
Good Point… Even The Dubious “Supreme Leader” Ayatollah Khomeini Could Not Defeat Saddam Hussein That Was Executed By Hanging At 06:00 UTC +03:00 On The First Day Of “Eid al-Adha Festival of the Sacrifice”, Only America Made That Happen Not Weak IRGC Shiia Servants Nor Leader On Bonded Knees!
Probably mercenaries paid for by Bin Stupid as the Saudies wont get their shiny uniforms dirty and are too lazy anyway…. Oh well, the Iranians will delete a few more Saudi ships and call it even I suppose…and it goes on…let them hit each other, who cares.
This is a Israeli false flag, “By way of deception, thou shalt do war” is the original Mossad creed. Why well any direct attack by Israel without major allies puts it at risk. Israel wants to bomb Iran and a war
between two rivals which weakens boths but keeps Israel out of the war enables it to attack targets but for attacks to be attributed to the other party. Its old school Jew
How would Israel do this well they have subs in the area which would enable them to launch cruise missiles from underwater from a direction that would cause Saudi Arabia to be suspected. The last thing Saudi wants or needs is a war with Iran. They have to much to lose, whereas Israel has everything to gain, Israel needs this was, wants this war, but does not want to be doing the fighting, spending and dying. This type of cowardly action is how Jews have behaved for centuries. Step one cause a war, step 2 profit and lend money to both sides, step 3 inflate the war and keep it going for as long as possible, step 4 lend money for the rebuilding of the country’s. But now that they have a country the main aim is to weeken and destroy their rivals.
YOUR SHARMOUTA MOTHER ALWAYS LOVED US AND OUR SHEKELS. STILL MAD?\
“By way of deception, thou shalt do war” its how the Jewish mind works, so long as it benefits them then it is good. In their belief system gentiles are their to be slaves to them after all. Out of Chaos one is able to create a New Order. That Order is the Greater Israel Project and New World Order.
If America was foolish enough to have taken the Israeli bait to attack Iran then none of this would have been necessary. Another multi Trillion dollar war or business opportunity for the money lenders and destroying a rival, what could be better for them. But with the American pullout of Syria and potentially ending all its pointless wars in the Middle East and Bibi in trouble Israel has had to settle for option B and find a war to make this war possible. It knows that it can’t win in a direct fight, to many casualties, cost, its to small and surround. So it draws up its attack plans for Iranian targets but these will only be executed when someone else can get the blame or if someone else like America is able to protect Israel from harm.
Saudi Arabia is not the US and MBS is not Trump… Trump is the leader of a civilized country who understands the value of his economic war through sanctions… In Saudi Arabia MBS can not talk with the tribes abut sanctions. He is the King and he must beat back to Iran with something that will be understood by his tribal leaders… A message delivered by two missiles is something that will be understood by the tribal leaders and also by Iran… Now Iran will think twice before striking Saudi Arabia again. The Saudi Airforce with ISR support from the US will be a hard match for Iran… Iran has started a very dangerous game.
Remember that nice and incredible spy story about Iran having bought a certain number of cruise missiles from a renegade Ukrainian general???
Now that Iran has reverse engineered those cruise missiles that nice spy story sounds pritty much like a real story…
Who can be sure that those cruise missiles were bought with conventional warheads and not with nuclear ones?
I think that Iras has acquired nuclear capability a long time ago and the US and Israel knows more about it.
This is probably the reason why nobody is risking a preemptive strike…
I don`t know if Israel could win a conventional arms war against Iran or not. They would have to use nukes I think. Maybe same with Hez missile bases in Lebanon, there are just too many to hit conventionally. Sooner or later Israel will have to fight the Persians and Hez and it will be very ugly. Don`t count on the US to help much, but we should. Iran is the main threat to world peace.
If Saudi is smart they will recognize Israel, try to get some sort of mutual aid agreement, and start a huge oil and gas pipeline to Israel. But they may hate Israel more than they love their own country.

IRANIANS DID IT TO JUSTIFY FURTHER ESCALATION.
You are correct that is a possibility though hitting your own vessel is a poor way to go ad far as options are concerned. Old School showed solid motive and we know that Israel has Dolphin Subs in the Red see so it is very plausible. Based on who has the most to gain i would say that this is a very solid option. Equally would be the Houthi but based on the precise nature of the hit they must have had used a camera as they would not have had radar coverage that far out and if they knew it was Iranian they would not have hit it. Saudi does not want war, so based on that either it was a Houthi error or it was Israeli
President Trump’s Job Approval Ratings Has Not Been Damaged By The Ukraine Hoax, Iran Sanctions, & Approval of US Congressional Moving Capital To JerUSAlem & Is Still Higher Than Former President Barack Obama’s 2008 & 2012 Elections! The Muller Report, Kavanaugh Nomination & Impeachment Inquiry Have Not Damaged President Trump Whatsoever!
OSJ… Wrong, Unlike The Iranian Shiia Servants & Arab Sunnis Proxies Financers. The Best Of Fighters That Have Won Battles In The Middle East The Last 50 Years Have Been Israeli’s, Americans, & Kurds That Did Not Do It For Money But Did It For Nations Survival & Shared Global Enterprise Trade For All Other Nations!
Anyone consider the Iranians did this?
IT’S IRAN PERIOD.
YOU’RE TOO STUPID TO BE WORTH MUCH AS A SLAVE TO US. HOWEVER THAT SHARMOUTA YOU CALL MOTHER HAS ALWAYS BEEN EXTREMELY VALUABLE TO US IN OUR HOUR OF NEED. WINK WINK..GET IT?
@Jim & @Old School showed solid motive and we know that Israel has Dolphin Subs in the Red see so it is very plausible. It was also especially funny to read since all were saying that there was no motive for Israel to do this. So well done in showing that there are other possibilities Old School
VT has a good article and also say that this could possibly have been a Israeli Dolphin Submarine. But its all speculation at this point. The article has lots of details of the attack been 30 minutes apart which shows know how but looks like we will have to wait a little longer for forensic evidence.

Pal-e-SWINE is a FAKE country.
Yes because it was stolen and had it name changed by the fake jews. But the freedom fighter of Abbas and Iran and the Lebanese will came to drive out the fakers ?
FAKE JEWS HAVE NO PROBLEM KICKING FAKE HUMANS BEHINDS SUCH AS YOURS.
If in doubt, the Jews have always done it. Behind the scenes with their kniving devilish evil plans…
A good start. Next time hit their refineries so we can be done with this Persian scourge.
Mmmm … it could have been Mike Pompeo personally to show POTUS that he is not yet old and finished as a spy …
too many armchair generals on this site some say saudi did it some the us navy some israel WHEN ISRAEL HITS IRAN THE WORLD WILL KNOW ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT WILL BE HARD AND STRONG WITH DOZENS OF FOLLOW UP BLOWS TO IRANS ENTIRE OIL MISSILE ELECTRICAL GRIDS AND THERE ENTIRE 200 USABLE PLANE AF ALONG WITH THERE 50 YEAR OLD HAND ME DOWN SOVIET ERA SHIPS /I AM A FORMER US ARMY VETERAN 24 YEARS ACTIVE DUTY AND A JEW
Yes and that is the problem, your people have a habit of speaking with the fork tongue. Truth and what is best for America tend to take second place to what best suits you at that time.
Thank god that America is waking up to you and also pulling out of this sh#thole region. Its just sad that we ever made the mistake of supporting you.
YET THAT MISSING-TOOTH SHARMOUTA YOU CALL MOTHER LOVES AND SUPPORTS US. GO FIGURE!
It sounds like a self inflicted incident, to incite a war.
Two American missiles would have done much more damage.
Self inflicted incident trying to start war.
When Iran retaliation?

Iran reaps what they sow.
Yes they certainly have. They have increased there influence thoughout the Middle East. They have strengthened their strategic partnerships with Russia, Turkey and China. They have gained access to new military technology as well as significant combat experience in Syria and Iraq. Israel is having a panic attack due to the few military personnel that are now in Syria. American no longer even talks about invading Iran, even bombing is out of the question.
Israel’s security posture continues to dissolve hence the false flag attack on the Iranian tanker. Israel is much like a little yapping dog, its happy to attack little mice and feel powerful but attacking a major power like Iran, Turkey or Russia is something that it does not have the stones to attempt. So it tries to trick others into fighting its wars.
The Persians have a rich and proud history and will prevail in the end againt this pestilence as can be already seen from the strategic change over the last few years. The world is quickly waking up to their true nature and when it does will support Iran in its fight.
The Persians have a rich and proud history….????
Tommy…. that’s how you always think of Israel before the war picks up……….then you and your Arabs lick your wounds in the end.
Iran this year and North Korea next year.
The only reason we have a issue with North Korea is that North Korea and Iran are cooperating. The only reason why we have an issue with Iran is Israel. American will attack neither unless it is tricked into war.
The only way that is going to happen is an Israeli False Flag and if Israel is publicly caught undertaking that nothing will savage it politically. So yes i can only hope that they try something like that.
And, on another hand, why are people so much against Antisemitism?
Because western people are good and naively beleive that all others are not as decent as them. After the holohoax people felt bad for jews believing because they were told this took place that it really did.
That coupled that the media serving your interests and how the term anti semitism has now been redefined by your people to mean any negatively or criticism of Israel ot Jews.
Any war with Iran that is believed to be to help Israel is not going to be good for us Europe Jews have enough problems and something like this could force us to leave due to the backlash.
=============================== in conclusion to this article ===============================
IRAN IS LYING BIG TIME, CAN’T TRUST IRAN!
And, Iran acts only by way of deception, this is the way of the fabulist ayatollah warrior.
CAN’T TRUST IRAN, IRAN IS LYING BIG TIME.
Just replace the wording Iran above with Israel and ayatollah with Zionism and you will be far closer to the actual truth and not the Jewish doublespeak dogma.
Obviously, you are not aware of the new directive from the cabinet of general Soleimani.
We should let go unchallenged some comments, as a cover for non-aligned and to hide the good hate against the enemy Israel. Sames goes for Tommy. Obey or degradation and martial court!
Commander, please, please, do not shoot my brother!
We are trying our best.
If it’s order, we obey with great pleasure.
Lovely Sweet Jew Tears that have been extra tasty due to their frustration in having their lies and hypocrisy exposed.
They soooo tasty ?
Tommy… Why Allah Has Prevented Iran Shiia Caliphate For 14 Centuries For Lying & Dividing Mohammed Message!
Why Allah Refuses Them Any Victories! Surat an-Nisa’, 4:108
In the end, next year, the following year, or in 5 years, a nuclear device will be used somewhere by someone.
No-one will be able to stop it – It will usher in a short period of global peace, until another is drop …by someone …somewhere
Exactly True… Allah Will Punish Iran With Atomic Ashes By Global Power Removing The Regime!
Mehdi will come and the whole Muslim world will unite under his leadership and then forces of the believers will march united under the banner of Islam and will conquer the whole world. Israel will be the first one to be destroyed. Jews will not be given the chance to convert but will face only death as they betrayed the Prophet already too many times
No offense but thats not going to happen. For a start not all the Muslim world is interested in jihad and secondly you do not have the military might to face off against the major power blocks. India, China, US, Russia individually will defeat your hoards. Europe could but they are so politically correct they have become a continent of sissies. If you get a right wing populist government then they will deal to you easly as well. . God is love and is not going to say convert to Islam/Judaism/Christianity/Other or die!
The problem with most of these prophecies in my opinion is that they were written by people with personal bias that scew everything even if they are receiving devine revelation. In my opinion the stories are not meant to be taken literally but rather they are meant ro teach us spiritual lessons and principles.
