Anyone seen pictures or corroborated reports on this?
Four ships blowed up (simultaneously?) at a friendly port and there are still no details five days later?
No casualties. No spillage of oil or any other chemicals....no claims of responsibility....no damage assessment reports.....
Fuj used to be a routine stop for US ships -- may still be --- if so, we have presence enough to assist with security and surveillance, as well as report, investigate, etc.
Publicly available satellite images show now smoke, fire, etc.
AP has essentially retracted their reporting on this because they said there was zero corroboration.
Remember the Maine? Or the Maddox? Not even hinting that US is responsible...but that foggy reports of attacks on ships aren't new and should be subject of close scrutiny
One of the more interesting aspects, to me, of the 'Iran problem', is the New Middle East Relationship structure --- for most of my life it was Israel vs. Arabs, with Jordan and UAE...sort of the outside oddballs....and a strategic US association with Saudi/Bahrain. This newish triumvirate of Israel/Saudi/UAE vs. Iran is kinda fascinating
