Many readers remember how I stated several months ago, when those two Japanese tankers got hit by missiles in the Gulf of Oman, that I stated that was definitely a 'false flag' attack and most definitely carried out by the psycho state of Israel firing several "Popeye" class cruise missiles from one or two of their German built Dolphin class submarines operating in the area..... At that time, the criminal Jewish state was definitely wanting that attack to be blamed on Iran so that they could somehow cause countries around the planet to band together for an attack on that innocent nation.... Luckily there was enough evidence at the time that came out that showed that Iran did not cause that attack, and the criminal Israelis were stopped then..... BUT it did not mean that they would stop doing these type of attacks, and using submarine launched "popeye" cruise missiles as their weapon of choice...Well... Fast forward to just this morning, where apparently an Iranian oil tanker was 'mysteriously' struck by what apparently was a missile attack while it was sitting near the Saudi port of Jeddah in the Red Sea......And I want to present the report about this latest attack that comes from Press TV online, at www.presstv.com, right here for everyone to see for themselves.... I have further thoughts and comments to follow:

The spill is currently stopped, according to officials.Technical experts are currently investigating the cause of the explosion. They believe it was a "terrorist attack", unnamed sourced told the Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA). The statement by NITC said the SABITI tanker was hit by two separate explosions at 5:00 and 5:20 am Friday, probably after being struck by missiles.It said the crew members are currently safe and none of them has been harmed in the explosions. The tanker is currently in a stable condition, the statement added.Photo of Iranian oil tanker SABITI after being hit by two missiles in the Red Sea near the Saudi port city of Jeddah on Oct. 11, 2019 (Via social media)The NITC later dismissed the reports that the vessel had caught fire, according to the Iranian Ministry of Petroleum's official news agency SHANA.'Dangerous adventure'Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman later described the attack as “a dangerous adventure”, warning that all the responsibilities fall on those behind it.“The investigations conducted by the National Iranian Tanker Company indicate the Iranian tanker has sustained damages after being targeted twice, at half-hourly intervals, from a place near its shipping route in the east of the Red Sea,” Abbas Mousavi said Friday.He expressed concern about the maritime pollution caused by the massive oil spill in the region after damages inflicted on the vessel’s tanks, and said, “All the responsibilities for the act, including the extensive environmental pollution in the region, fall on those behind the dangerous adventure.”He also noted that a probe is being conducted on the details of the attack and those behind it, and the results will be announced once it's done.Earlier in the day, the US Navy’s Bahrain-based Fifth Fleet announced it is aware of media reports about the blast but had no further information.“We are aware of the reports but we don’t have any further information,” a spokesman said.The blasts have caused oil prices to jump by over 2 percent, media reports said.Photo of Iranian oil tanker SABITI after being hit by two missiles in the Red Sea near the Saudi port city of Jeddah on Oct. 11, 2019 (Via social media)The explosions came a few months after Iranian oil tanker Happiness-1 faced “engine failure” and lost its control with 26 on board off the Red Sea port of Jeddah, and was later transferred to the port city for maintenance.According to Iranian officials, the incident had occurred on April 30 while Happiness I was on its way to the Suez Canal, and that water had leaked into the tanker’s engine room.The Saudis refused to let the vessel leave and demanded that Iran pay $200,000 a day for maintaining the vessel in the port, some $10 million in total. It was finally released on July 20 and returned home.Read more:
Also in June, two large tankers were hit by explosions in the Sea of Oman. The Marshal Islands-flagged Front Altair and the Panama-flagged Japanese-owned Kokuka Courageous were hit in suspected attacks in the Gulf of Oman.At that time, Iranian rescue workers rushed to the assistance of two tankers hit by the unspecified accidents in the Sea of Oman, transferring all of their 44 crew members to its southern shores.Read more:
The Marshall Islands-flagged tanker was, according to reports, heading from Qatar to Taiwan when a fire broke out on the tanker approximately 25 miles from Iran’s Jask port city.The Panama-flagged ship was also en route from a port in Saudi Arabia towards Singapore when a fire broke out approximately 28 miles from Jask.NTS Notes: I will not even bother to ask the question about this being a false flag attack and who would benefit from doing this dastardly deed, for we already know who is fully capable of causing this attack..... For we all know by now which evil state would indeed do this to the Iranians..And the question may be why now and why an attack on Iran? It may be that the psychos in Israel have not got the "traction" that they wanted by attacking other nation's tankers to blame the assault on Iran, so they are now switching their tactics and going after Iranian tankers themselves..... Now it is up to the Iranians to get to the bottom of who did this attack, and when they do quickly discover that it was the Israelis, we all wonder what kind of reprisal they will carry out for this assault? The Iranian government does know that if they were to retaliate and target anything in Israel, then the psychos in Israel will scream to the world via their Jew spew media and their control of world governments that Iran must be destroyed in "retaliation"..... Therefore at this point the only thing that the Iranians can do is to show the world that Israel is this diabolical and do nothing to try to give those mental cases their want for a new Middle Eastern war...Yes, I am indeed going to state it here that this was definitely an Israeli attack using several of their "popeye" class cruise missiles against this Iranian tanker.... The reasoning is simple, for all that anyone has to ask is "Who benefits?"....More to comeNTS
