Sabotage Near UAE Involving Saudi Oil Tankers

Four ships have allegedly been sabotaged in the gulf.

The BBC reported (13/5/2019):

“Four commercial ships were targets of a “sabotage attack” off the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Sunday, the country’s foreign affairs ministry has said. The incident reportedly took place near Fujairah port, just outside the Strait of Hormuz, but caused no casualties.

“Saudi Arabia confirmed that two Saudi oil tankers sustained ‘significant damage’.”

Time reports, (13/5/2019) “President Trump Warns Iran Over ‘Sabotaged’ Oil Tankers in Gulf”:

“Two Saudi oil tankers and a Norwegian-flagged vessel were damaged in what Gulf officials described Monday as a “sabotage” attack off the coast of the United Arab Emirates. While details of the incident remain unclear, it raised risks for shippers in a region vital to global energy supplies at a time of increasing tensions between the U.S. and Iran over its unraveling nuclear deal with world powers…

“Asked at the White House about the incident, President Donald Trump responded: ‘It’s going to be a bad problem for Iran if something happens.’

“Tensions have risen since Trump withdrew America from the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers, and restored U.S. sanctions that have pushed Iran’s economy into crisis. Last week, Iran warned it would begin enriching uranium at higher levels in 60 days if world powers failed to negotiate new terms for the deal.”

False Flag?

I received a call this afternoon from an insider informing me the ‘sabotage’ was a false flag. The attacks were not Iran.

In RT, “Iran warns of ‘conspiracy by ill-wishers,’ urges probe into ‘sabotage attack’ off UAE coast”:

“Iran’s Foreign Ministry said it wants clarification of what happened at the UAE port of Fujairah, where four ships were reportedly targeted in a ‘sabotage operation.’
“Sunday’s incident at Fujairah port was “alarming and regrettable,” a spokesman for Iranian Foreign Ministry, Abbas Mousavi, said in a statement on Monday. He cautioned against “adventurism by foreigners,” which could undermine the region’s stability and security, saying shipping and maritime safety is of paramount importance to Tehran.”

  1. In a recent instalment It has been suggested by X22 Report author that it is likely that a “false flag” event could be staged by the “Deep State” in proximity of Iran, and the blame would be put on Iran.
    This is how people are now reading the terrorism events before they happen. The mode of operation is so consistent.

    Time may tell us one way or another, if the above forecast was correct.

  4. Yeah sure, Iran has so much to gain by having a few ships sabotaged in UAE. Meanwhile the U.S. is sailing a fleet towards Iran and beating the war drums. Crikey, these false flags are getting more ridiculous with each war.

  5. I am constantly amazed at the Monotheists of the Abrahmic Bible – Judaism, Islam and Christianity all working as hard as they can, at breakneck speed and in unison (all together now!) towards the ultimate battle at Armageddon, so that this beautiful, garden planet, with so much Abundance, can be destroyed.

    What?

    Why?

    I have to shake my head in horrified wonder at this, while recalling the words of one of the twentieth century’s great practical philosophers – Mohandas “Mahatma” Gandhi. When asked what he thought of Western civilization: “I think it would be a good idea.”

    I find that I must concur with that great philosopher, especially in light of the slime that infests the bowels power currently (and for the last several decades since they managed to liquidate the last great President in the early ’60’s), and are currently driving the ‘destruction agenda’.

    “Landing party to Scotty, Beam us up, there’s no intelligent life down here.”

  6. Israel has been caught out on so many false flag incidents now that people automatically blame the Mossad but, actually, Israel learned this subterfuge from America. The US’s first false flag incident was the sinking of its own ship to precipitate war with Mexico. Increasingly, the White House is too arrogant and lazy to set up pretext. To wit, the current blatant attempt to overthrow Maduro’s Venezuelan Government; and previously, that of Chavez.

    In this instance, I would bet my entire fortune on Israel as the culprit. And I feel no anxiety whatsoever about the security of my $194.

  8. Tony, with your fortune of $194.00 you would not be interested in the crimes of the Big Banks that the Liberal & Labor Party are happy to allow to continue.

    I wonder what new crimes will be invented after this weekend of clemency, unless the public wake up, when placing their votes?

  9. Tony, I guess, with your fortune of $194.00, you would not be worried that the Big Banks, with the blessing of the Liberal & Labor Party will be allowed to continue their crimes, unless the public wake up before placing their votes this weekend.

  10. In 2006 I was invited to give a speech to a huge crowd at Boston Harbor (as a Republican candidate for Congress). But Webster Tarpley was the speaker ahead of me. He took double his time so I did not get to speak.

    He showed some amazing slides of torpedoes (small but smart) that Iran had in stock.

    Even then, 13 years ago, his idea was that a false flag would occur. I may be wrong but I think Tarpley said a similar torpedo would be shot into US warships parked in the area re the Iraq invasion. This would start a war.

    Come on everybody, make the biggest stink you can make to avoid this happening now.

  11. This certainly is not the first time.. Florida Marqui on Youtube has shown and exposed a few others that the prostitute media and press keep suppressed. Some have possibly been mined as well. He is ex US military intelligence.

  12. BBC, 2 hours ago:

    Meanwhile, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has also said there will be no war with the US.

    Last week, the US deployed warships and warplanes to the Gulf.

    Tensions escalated even further after an incident with four tankers off the United Arab Emirates on Sunday, with US investigators reportedly believing Iran or groups it supports were involved.

    No evidence of Iran’s role has emerged and Tehran, which denies any involvement, has called for an investigation.

    In another development, Spain withdrew a frigate from a US-led naval group in the Gulf as tensions between Washington and Tehran rose.

    Mr Pompeo, who held talks with Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in the Russian city of Sochi, said the US “fundamentally” did not seek a conflict with Iran.

    “We have also made clear to the Iranians that if American interests are attacked, we will most certainly respond in an appropriate fashion.”

    But Mr Khamenei said: “We don’t seek a war, nor do they.”

    On Monday, President Hassan Rouhani told a meeting with clerics that Iran was “too great to be intimidated by anyone”, saying: “God willing we will pass this difficult period with glory and our heads held high, and defeat the enemy.”

    The Spanish frigate Mendez Nunez had been accompanying a US aircraft carrier’s strike group in the Gulf for a military exercise.

    But on Tuesday, Acting Defence Minister Margarita Robles said it would be recalled because the original mission had changed.

    The Spanish daily El Pais said Madrid wanted to avoid being dragged into any kind of conflict with Iran.

    A defence ministry spokesman later told AFP news agency it was “a temporary withdrawal… as long as the American aircraft carrier is in this zone”.

    “No possible confrontation or warlike action is envisaged (by Spain) and it is for this reason that the participation is suspended for the moment,” the spokesman added.

  13. May I remind Americans of Article I, section 8 of the Constitution: Congress has “the power to declare war.”

    Nothing in Article II about the executive branch gives the president power to declare war.

    Hello 435 Reps and 100 senators, wakie uppie. No need to let Spain do your job for you.

    • I thought that making this power available to the President alone was one of the primary reasons for the declaration of the War on Terror.

    • Yes there are plenty of books that prove that this so-called Executive Power in the US Government is a myth. It is US Constitution 101. All of these perpetual false flag wars are intentionally “undeclared” to skirt the US Constitution. The U.S Constitution is in exile with all of these war powers and draconian legislation of the fake “War on Terror”

      Because of bribery, blackmail, pedophilia and pork barreling to name a few, everything that should be checked is unchecked which is unbalanced and unconstitutional.

      You must also take into consideration the genuine geographical United States of America vs. the Corporate NAMED UNITED STATES OF AMERICA lodged in Washington D.C. The President of the United States is the CEO of a vast corporation. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=the+united+states+of+america+is+acorporation&t=opera&ia=web
