One warship and one resupply ship is what I heard. Wouldn’t it be very interesting if the beat up old supply ship magically had a magnetic mine explode on its hull while passing close to Israel?

If anything happened to that ship obviously Israel will be blamed by the whole Muslim world no matter what the facts are. If they believe that Israel is putting spy gear on vultures how hard of a sell would a sunk ship be for them?

The big question is would Iran plant a bomb on the hull and lose a few martyrs to inflame everyone against Israel? (rhetorical question it seems)

I have wondered if Iran would sink its own ship in an effort to blame Israel. I think it's possible.

Forensic evidence afterwards could implicate the Iranians but I think we now live in a world where people wouldn't care/wouldn't believe it. We've seen the old "spark in the central fuel tank" thing before and people don't necessarily believe it. If the Iranian ship goes down, the world will blame the Jews for the unprovoked attack.

With all the instability in the Arab world, I think some folks would see this as an opportunity to unite against a traditional enemy.
