U.S. CENTCOM Releases Surveillance Video It Claims Shows Iran Is Removing A Mine From A Tanker



Defense One: US Blames Tanker Attacks On Iran; CENTCOM Releases Surveillance Video

Military officials say imagery shows Iranians in boats at the tankers, handling a mine and trying to capture crew members.

Hours after U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blamed Iran for a pair of attacks on two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz early Thursday morning, a military spokesman released a video, photos, and a timeline purporting to show Iranian boats near the ships immediately after the attacks.

According to Capt. Bill Urban, U.S. Central Command’s top spokesman, the video shows men aboard an Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps military patrol boat returning to one of the abandoned tankers, the M/T Kokuka Courageous, and removing an unexploded mine from its damaged hull.

Spec Ops operate at night. These Iranians do. How great of video do you expect to get at night from a distance?

Too many people for it to be Americans. If you watch the video to the end you see a deck gun. This is an Iranian Navy vessel alright.

They intentionally release videos with poor quality, they have always done that. The one who can say why gets a cookie.

ZU-23-2 in the bow. Three (?) outboards. Fits description of some IRGC small craft or pleasure craft from Monaco. Can’t make out object; assume Dyson vacuum being used to altruistically debarnacle the hull.
