#BREAKING: Initial reports of two giant oil tankers targeted in Sea of Oman, explosions reported and distress calls sent out, more to follow


quote:

Iranian-linked media is first to report these attacks in the last 20 minutes or so, just like when the oil tankers were attacked off the coast of the UAE a few weeks ago. Very interesting indeed. Waiting for more information.


quote:

BREAKING: UK maritime safety group warns of unspecified incident in Gulf of Oman, urges 'extreme caution' amid US-Iran tensions.


quote:

According to sources two super tankers carrying crude oil were attacked in the sea of Oman, several explosions were heard


quote:

Initial unconfirmed reports suggest one of the distressed tankers is the Front Altair.


quote:

Hyundai Dubai sitting North West of Front Altair has been rumored to be involved in some capacity, unclear if helping or also targeted, she has a tug boat along side.


quote:

additional reports suggest that Kokuka Courageous sitting West of Front Altair currently has no comms and is the second Oil Tanker in this incident. Hyundai Dubai is reportedly acting as a "rescue vessel" currently.

#Iran|ian SAR now along side the Front Altair, Hyundai Dubai still North West and Kokuka Courageous still stationary. #Oman

Looks like the U.S. may get that war they’ve wanted with Iran for a while. John McCain is smiling down on us.

SKY NEWS is reporting torpedo attacks.
One vessel is a methane transporter, reportedly secure, the other is an oil tanker. Some confusion pertaining to the tanker, as to whether it has sunk.

If something was bombed in the Middle East there is a 90% chance John Brennan's former organization was involved.

In other news, truck nutz futures are spiking.

One of the hits was supposedly above the waterline according to the captain. He used the word “projectiles “. Can torpedos hit above the waterline?

Oil price speculation is such a fraud.

On another note this is the reason Trump tried to sell the Saudis all those weapons. But since the cucks in Congress blocked it we'll get dragged into it.

Iranian and Koreans helped rescue the sailors. Iran has denied making the attack.

Let’s hope we’re smart enough to not let this pull us into a war.
