Debka File:
A special unit of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards marine force carried out the sabotage attack Sunday on 4 Saudi oil tankers outside Fujairah port, DEBKAfile’s exclusive sources reveal. Iran chose this venue in the Gulf of Oman waters of the United Arab Emirates for its first proactive strike against US sanctions, because it is way off the beaten track of Gulf oil export routes. There were two other reasons:
(a) To show the US and Gulf oil nations that Tehran doesn’t need to block the Strait of Hormuz in order to disrupt the Gulf’s oil exports to international markets.
(b) The UAE has built the new Habshan-Fujairah oil pipeline there for the purpose of circumventing the Strait of Hormuz. By striking Fujairah, the Iranians demonstrated that alternative shipping routes are just as vulnerable to Iranian attack as the Gulf of Hormuz.
The above picture shows a direct hit to the Norwegian-flagged Andre Victoria oil tanker which was almost scuttled.
Our sources note that although war tensions between US and Iran were mounting sharply, Western intelligence and the Gulf emirates were caught off-guard by the location of the Iranian attack and its precise targeting. It is now estimated that Tehran carefully calibrated the blasts to cause damage while falling short of sinking the vessels or inflicting casualties.

AP has an account from a mIlitary US government source of similar information. The Mollafia is not a unitary government with a history of its factions scoring own goals endangering Iran.
Hope the sarcastic/insult comment has soothed your nerves/soul. It means jack shit to me, but surely reflect more on your personality. With that said, please tell me, would some “News” sourced from Al-Mostafah Al-Khomenie news organization be taken with any kind of seriousness.
AP is a well-established and reputable organization. Should you use that as your source, I highly doubt any fair-minded person will question your source, well unless he is tRump and the news is exposing his mess.

"Insult comment? which one is it?"
"For Mollafia and their die-hard supporters"
I certainly take such comment as an insult as it is meritless and intended only to discredit a person without using facts or logic.
I would think you would be insulted if one responded to you as a die-hard skinhead/fascist supporter simply for the fact that I don't agree wtih some of your views.
But I would be just as happy not to engage and/or continue not to give a damn.

Reminds of you Gulf of Tonkin story.
If it is not Tweedle Dee then it is Tweedle DUMB. Funny coincidence how all the defenders of status quo and pseudo-nationalist Trolls in Iroon suddenly altogether started mentioning GoT.
