Last month Israel supposedly sunk an Iranian arms ship off the Sudan intended to deliver weapons just south of Egypt, which is apparently widely accepted as a practice that Iran has been involved in getting weapons into Gaza. The attack, which supposedly sunk a ship that has no name, has never been confirmed even as the attack on the ground in Sudan of a convoy has been confirmed.We now have word that someone has sunk a second ship in the same area. The ship is supposedly Iranian and the location is off the Sudan in the Red Sea.
An Iranian vessel loaded with weapons to transfer to Hamas via Sudan was recently sunk in the Red Sea by an unidentified missile ship believed to be Israeli, according to Arab media.IF it happened, and I still say both reports are big IFs...., but if it happened it was not a US ship. How do I know? Because the US doesn't have any ships that could have done it, primarily because none of our warships in the area have Harpoons. Could Israel have done this?
The vessel was attacked by either an Israeli or American ship and destroyed, according to a report Sunday in the Egyptian weekly Al-Usbua.
"The ship was destroyed at sea near the Sudanese coast," sources told the weekly, adding that the cargo was to be taken through the Sudanese and Sinai deserts. They said the incident occurred within the past two weeks.
I never say never with Israel, but I still find it hard to believe Israel would be able to sink two ships in two months in the Red Sea and it would remain this quiet. The real issue isn't the regional nations, it is all the European ships in the region including the Red Sea that would probably see this type of event happen.
Maybe these events happened, but call me a skeptic.
