That is indeed some impressive footage.

So, the SOTHYS was indeed involved, so was DDG 112, DDG 68 and I think that might be a IRIS Shalid Nazeri?
Ye, IRIS Shalid Nazeri Image
SOTHYS capture for reference. Image
Camera crew on the bridge watching the IRGC Elite's board the vessel...? Image
This guy be chilling. Image

Ok, summary tweets on the Gulfy McGulfGulf story (I think I got everything)

- Iran said US tried to seize a vessel carrying Iranian crude oil transferred into another tanker and then the IRGCN went after the newly loaded tanker and got it back.
- Vessel is the SOTHYS
- SOTHYS had Iranian crude oil aboard which was denied in China and "sent back"
- IRGCN release footage of them boarding the SOTHYS
- US Navy are in and around the area at the time.
- US Officials say they didn't try board the vessel
- Iran claims they were attempting to seize the vessel.
- Video shows IRGCN and USN getting cozy in the Gulf
- Video has the IRGCN boarding and seizing the vessel
-IRGCN warned the USN to stay away.
- Vessel has been taken to near Bandar Abbas

So, unless I am misunderstanding this Tanker Wars tussle news this morning. An Iranian tanker was STS to another, which was related in some affiliation to the US (somehow) and then Iran realized this and the IRGC seized back that tanker?


Ok, so they reportedly seized the vessel that then was loaded.

So a few options here (I think?) if we take these reports at face value.

- Iran made a bad business deal and then realized that they were doing duped and have seized a vessel(s?)
- Iran claims they knew it was a setup and were ready for it all etc etc.

- these two above are completely incorrect and something else happened

For the last few hours I’ve been back and forth on these images, they are unconfirmed (I can not stress the fact they are unconfirmed) images of Al-Tanf Garrison, Syria. Reportedly showing the damage from last nights attack. The satellite tower and area matches recent imagery
But the building in the background just doesn’t line up so I’m sharing these just in case, but I have my reservation until proven otherwise.
I will say again, unconfirmed, in the hope that 3 times is lucky and people don’t get the wrong message.

Oh wow, a “358” missile in #Iraq….
For those who aren’t aware of the 358:

janes.com/amp/new-irania…
A couple of things to note, cap is still on and it's not exactly damaged so it appears to be a staged setup, probably trying to send a message/warning, we've seen these SAM's successful in use by Houthi's, so we know they work, per say.

A suicide drone attack against the coalition base in Al-Tanf, #Syria has been confirmed.
….Al-Tanf has always had a no fly zone/exclusion zone, so not exactly sure what this is getting at?
A drone reportedly entered #Syria|n airspace from #Iraq. There are multiple reports of a number of drones, and reports are being embellished at this moment in time, once I can confirm details, i’ll update accordingly.
