Jay Sekulow reporting Iran very likely the culprit.

[Karma_Sherab]

Somebody really, really wants Trump to attack Iran

[Innovative]

I thought I read that they were in international waters, when attacked.

VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY LIKELY!!!

John Bolton says so too!!!!

Let’s not GTF in ANOTHER war which will OF COURSE end with boots on the ground and armchair warriors getting to enjoy TV while 18 year olds come home in pieces.

I QUICK leveling by air will NEVER happen because there is NOT enough MONEY in it for military industrial complex.

Only looooong and drawn out occupations make money.

Some, including too many here, never EVER EVER EVER learn!!

Do torpedoes hit above the water line? My understanding is that the hulls were breached above the water line. Doesn't that imply limpet mines? Who stands to gain if we go to war with Iran? There is a very long list, some of which are fully capable of pulling this off as a false flag. Why hit Japanese cargoes while Shinzō Abe is there? Something smells fishy.

[GOPJ]

Torpedoes usually mean ‘state actor’... not many small time terrorist bunches own torpedoes...

[jimwatx]

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is visiting Tehran today and one of the tankers was owned by Japan. A day earlier, Iran freed a U.S. resident imprisoned on espionage charges. It would make zero sense for Iran to do this now, much more likely one of our mideast allies were responsible as a way of trying to drag us into war with Iran. I hope Trump isn’t stupid enough o fall for this.

Dear Ayatollahs;

Nantez and Bashir look like nice little places. Be real bad if something happened to them.

Who gains from this (those that want war against Iran) and who loses (those that are trying to keep the peace)?

Follow the money!

Keep in mind we are 22 Trillion dollars in debt, and the country is sick of war. We have been in a perpetual state of war since World War II.

[usmcobra]

My money is on Limpet Mines.

Here’s why:

1) they are small holes.

2) at or just above the water line.

3) Iranians are very proud of their version of the Seals.

4) multiple holes on at least six ships within the last three months

5) time delayed for when the vessels were out at sea.

[DownInFlames]

Wait until a US warship is sunk. You’ll have a War alright.

[Mariner]

IF, and that’s a very BIG IF, they were hit by torpedoes, they were smaller than any known torpedo in the world today.

Any US or Russian or Chinese torpedo would have blown through the inner hull, first vaporizing, then igniting the 75,000 tons of naphtha. The fireball would have been visible from 100 miles away. They would have heard it too lol

Another interesting fact, these supposed “torpedoes” have a truly unique capability. They jump out of the water and hit above the water line.

Torpedoes my ass.

Where does such drivel originate?
