And back to the oil tankers - if indeed #Israel hit these tankers, then it is likely that the marine force & the special units, above and below the surface of the water, worked overtime. 1/11

But no #Iranian ship sank or caught fire among the damaged ships, acc to @WSJ. The Iranians said nothing, nor did they admit that their ship had been hit. Neither Israel nor the Americans until yesterday.

🇮🇱Israel has quite a few, varied and creative ways to harm the smuggling of #Iranian oil into #Syria without causing noise & commotion. It can also be assumed that the cut-off of funding for Hezbollah's #terrorism, & especially for Hezbollah's #missile accuracy and... 3/11

🇱🇧economy are collapsing. #Hezbollah needs every cent it receives from the #Iranians through #Assad, & any such ship that doesn’t reach its destination on time, or doesn’t arrive at all, is a huge damage, both to the Syrian regime & to its sponsored #terrorist organization. 7/11
The #question naturally arises as to whether the #contamination of the hard tar on the shores of #Israel, which probably originated in an #Iranian oil smuggling ship to Syria, is an Iranian retaliatory action for the damage to other ships attributed to Israel. 8/11
The #answer is probably no. By all indications, the oil that reached the shores of Israel was spilled into the sea as a result of a malfunction. The #Iranian smuggler tried to transport it to a Syrian ship that could legitimately enter the port of Tartus or Latakia. 9/11
It is difficult to assume that the oil slick was an Iranian #retaliatory action, but perhaps the damage to the ship that hoists the Bahamas flag & belongs to the Israeli businessman Rami Unger - actually belongs to the story.

In fact, it can be said: there is now an #oil_war in the region on all sides. A few days ago, the🇸🇾Syrian regime &🇷🇺Russian warships bombed oil refining facilities operated by Syrian rebel militias operating under🇹🇷Turkish auspices in northern Syria, in the Aleppo region. 11/11
