The handiwork of Iran? A tanker is missing in the Persian Gulf
Western love for provocations is well known. It was with them that the majority of the wars for "democracy" and "freedom" began. And considering that the agenda includes the process of introducing the Islamic Republic of Iran to “European” and other non-traditional values, the craving of “civilizers” for tankers with oil and oil products coming from the Persian Gulf is not surprising.
Recently we told about the real "case" of the tanker fleet. At the same time, the West immediately began to unprovenly accuse Iran of sabotage, pull troops and threaten reprisals. British special forces even captured in the Strait of Gibraltar, the supertanker Grace 1 with Iranian oil, which followed into Syria.
And now, the Associated Press agency (headquarters in New York) reports that an oil tanker from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) disappeared from radars in Iranian territorial waters. According to the editorial staff of the AR, the 58-meter Riah tanker usually moved from Dubai and Sharjah, located on the west coast of the UAE, to Fujairah, which is located on the east coast of the UAE. It is noted that the ship late in the evening of July 13, 2019 went through the Strait of Hormuz under the flag of Panama, and then ceased to transmit its location and "disappeared like a needle in a haystack." At the same time, the latest data, allegedly, indicate that the tanker swam into the territorial waters of Iran.
It is emphasized that over the past three months the tanker has never turned off the tracking system during such voyages. At the same time, there are no official comments from the Iranian side or from the UAE yet. At the same time, the company Prime Tankers LLC (UAE), which still appears to be the owner of the tanker, indicated that they resold the tanker to another company, Mouj Al-Bahar. However, the Mouj Al-Bahar agency was told that they did not own any vessels at all. And the AR burst out with anxiety, the allegedly unclear situation causes concern for the fate of the tanker among the public, especially in light of the worsening relations between the US and Iran.
After that, CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr posted on her Twitter page that there was growing confidence in U.S. intelligence that Iran had forced Riah to change course and proceed to its waters. At the same time, sources in the region say that the ship simply broke down near the island of Qeshm and may have been towed ashore to provide assistance.
