...twenty-one sailors from the M/T Kokuka Courageous who had abandoned their ship after discovering a probable unexploded limpet mine on their hull...

At 4:10 p.m. local time an IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) 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).

How are they allowed to get that close to one of our ships? Is this SOP?

How much were Obama and Kerry paid off by Iran?

Note that criminal Kerry is still conspiring with and meeting with our enemy Iran!

“Iran, you’re busted.

How do you prove this is Iranians and not instead agents of a country (take your pick) that would like to see the U.S. attack Iran?

Because Iranians wouldn’t remove someone else’s mine.

I assume that they are holding the crew of the other ship as hostages, as another show of their intentions.

The Iranians F...ed up massively after they were caught removing it. They are responsible for the damage and the environmental problems this will cause. They’re already on the knifes edge with their people, and they’re going to be cut.

It’s like we didn’t just live through years of the intelligence complex framing an innocent party. It’s things like this that make me despair for my country - people so easily manipulated will NEVER be able to defeat the swamp.

If we can't nuke the bastards, the least we can do is sue their raggedy asses for cultural appropriation.

Someone else uniformed as Iranians might remove a fake mine.

See also German troops dressed as Polish troops invading across the Polish-German border and attacking a German radio station...

Yeah. A real sinking attempt would be below the water line.

But that wouldn't be good theater would it?
