Israeli cargo ship docks in Dubai after ‘explosion’ in Gulf of Oman
[AlMasdar] An Israeli fat merchantman belonging to Rami Ungar
...more formally Abraham Ungar, 74...
docked in Dubai on Saturday, following a powerful explosion that forced the vessel to head to the nearest port.

According to Israel 24 TV, the owner of the ship, Rami Unger, said that he "does not know whether there is a relationship to what his ship was exposed to and the tension between Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and the United States, or because the ship’s ownership is Israeli."

The site quoted a U.S. intelligence expert as asserting that "the ship did not hit a marine mine, but was hit from the surface of the water."

The British Maritime Trade Operations Authority and a maritime security company, said that a ship was exposed to a kaboom in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday.

The London-based Dryad Global Group said, "The ship in question is the MV Helios Ray, a vehicle transport vessel owned by Helios Ray Ltd., an Israeli company registered in the Isle of Man."

The ship was said to be traveling from Singapore to Dammam in Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
. No further details have been released regarding the earth-shattering kaboom.

Defense officials believe explosion on Israeli cargo ship in Gulf cause by missile attack

[IsraelTimes] Channel 13 news reports that Israeli defense officials estimate that a kaboom on an Israeli ship in the Gulf of Oman yesterday was caused by two Iranian missiles.

The estimates are consistent with what a senior US official told Rooters last night, saying it was not an incident below sea level, meaning a mine, but above it, likely meaning a missile attack.

Such a strike would be a major escalation, as it would signal an Iranian military attack against a completely civilian target, without military or security affiliation with the State of Israel.
