The Gulf of Credibility
Craig Murray
June 14 2019
I really cannot begin to fathom how stupid you would have to be to
believe that Iran would attack a Japanese oil tanker at the very moment
that the Japanese Prime Minister was sitting down to friendly,
US-disapproved talks in Tehran on economic cooperation that can help
Iran survive the effects of US economic sanctions.
The Japanese-owned Kokuka Courageous was holed above the water line.
That rules out a torpedo attack, which is the explanation being touted
by the neo-cons.
The second vessel, the Front Altair, is Norwegian owned and 50% Russian
crewed (the others being Filipinos). It is owned by Frontline, a
massive tanker leasing company that also has a specific record of being
helpful to Iran in continuing to ship oil despite sanctions.
It was Iran that rescued the crews and helped bring the damaged vessels
under control.
That Iran would target a Japanese ship and a friendly Russian crewed
ship is a ludicrous allegation. They are however very much the targets
that the USA allies in the region – the Saudis, their Gulf Cooperation
Council colleagues, and Israel – would target for a false flag. It is
worth noting that John Bolton was meeting with United Arab Emirates
ministers two weeks ago – both ships had just left the UAE.
