Iran’s largest warship catches fire and sinks
Built in the UK in 1977 the Kharg caught fire under suspicious circumstances and sank
I briefly recall Jimbuna had some connections to her when she was under RFA ownership (if memory serves) https://apnews.com/article/persian-g...bc4705c6629fcd

Their other oiler is supposedly on the way to Venezuela. Wonder if it continues or is recalled.

It could have something to do with the civil war in Yemen The perpetrator in this case would most likely be Saudi-Arabia.

I think of Iran's role for arming up Hamas in the Gaza strip, and Israel's recent argument with Hamas.

Could also have something to do with internal divisions & strife inside Iran too. Not every in that country is happy living in a militant islamic theocracy.

There are many candidate who could be behind the destruction of this Iranian vessel.
It could also be as simpel as bad or lack of maintenance behind the disaster. vienna is correct Iran will point fingers whether someone else was behind it or if it was their own fault. Markus
