Claims of sabotage against a handful of oil tankers off the coast of the
United Arab Emirates, and subsequent claims from US hawks that Iran was
behind it, originated with the Israeli Mossad, and the US is planning to take Israeli allegations to the UN Security Council.
Mossad said that Israel had managed the attacks without injuring anyone
on board any of the ships, calling it a “pretty impressive commando
operation.” This does stand in contrast to some US officials claiming it
was Iranian sea mines behind the attacks, claims for which no good
evidence exists.
This isn’t the first Israeli involvement in the ever-escalating
narrative that threatens to march the US into war with Iran. Indeed, the
original claims Iran was going to attack US forces in the region,
potentially in Iraq, were themselves originally created by Mossad.
Mossad had conceded at the time that they didn’t know what Iran was
planning, but came up with several possible scenarios. US hawks went
from there, and it’s been a non-stop military buildup since then.
“Mossad said that Israel had managed the attacks without injuring anyone . . .”
Jason, I think you should correct that statement. Israel may well have been behind the UAE sabotage. But Mossad would never admit it. I think you meant to say “Iran” instead of “Israel” in the statement above.
Actually, the statement is true..No need to change…They made a hole in the ship and then blamed it on Iran…
I expect this from those who brought us the attack on the USS Liberty.
They make up whatever “reality” they want. This is just another one.
Private Mossad for Hire: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/02/18/private-mossad-for-hire
Mossad used to be good at staging believable pretexts for war. Think about 9/11 and the “dancing Israelis” running around New York posing as a moving company, flicking their lighters and laughing at the twin towers coming down before it even happened. Turned out they were Mossad agents who were sent back to Israel almost immediately by Ashcroft and Mueller.
The big problem for them now is that we’re onto them. Those days of acting with total impunity are over.
Don’t count on those days being over.
We’ve now got their number, David. Won’t be fooled again like we were with 9/11. No more f-ing wars for Israel.
I pray you’re right Thomas.
Oh, thanks for posting politely. I tire of all the name calling online.
Best,
David
And we are now in tandem with Israel bombing targets in Syria. And now that tertorists in Idlub had a respite and are rearmed, every terrorist act is being jgnired, and every action against them criticized in UN as “attacks on hospital”. It is all obvious, all brazen, all clear — and who will stop it? Not Congress as they found a grat way to avoid any discussion on costs of wars.
Anything anyone can do anout the gone crazy 1%-ers, complaining about our petty populism!
This is pretty much 100 percent proof that the Mossad did it.
No, surprise here.
As soon as it happened I asked, “Qui Bono”. Only Israhell came to mind.
The Israeli national anthem should be “Onward Christian Soldier”.
Yes, might want to fix this post that says Israel did the attacks – even though it wouldn’t be any surprise if they did – and then pat themselves on the back about how “impressive” they were.
Anyone surprised that the US is relying on Israeli intelligence? Israel has been faking intelligence about Iran’s “nuclear weapons” for at least the last twenty years.
It won’t matter that the US is going to the UNSC over this. Russia and China will veto any result, because they aren’t fools.
This whole incident is just another propaganda ploy to justify an attack on Hezbollah, even though Hezbollah wasn’t blamed for this. The whole point of this stuff about “Iranian proxies” is to justify attacking Hezbollah, the biggest “Iranian proxy.”
Rather obvious from the beginning. But it is the irresistible urge to brag that is fascinating.
“Israel describes incident as ‘pretty impressive commando operation’
When I read this heading, I said to myself, “The Israelis would never compliment an Iranian military effort, but they’re just brazen enough and narcissistic enough to describe it this way if they were boasting (unconsciously, of course) about their own false flag operation.” I chuckled at their psychopathic Freudian non-slip, until I noticed that Jason essentially made the actual Freudian slip — replacing “Iran” with “Israel” — when he wrote,
“Mossad said that Israel had managed the attacks without injuring anyone on board any of the ships, calling it a “pretty impressive commando operation.”
Or did Jason write that intentionally?
In Pat Buchanan’s piece today, we find the following:
Who else? How about: Israel, KSA, CIA, UAE, or you Bolton, you frikkin’ psychopathic monster.
Sadly, none of the reporters on the scene offered to answer his question.

This is truly a ditzy writing. I should’t have to go to the Israel Times to trace the quote.
“The official added that the intelligence suggested the goal of the Islamic Republic had been to damage the vessels without injuring those on board.”
People donate to this website, they expect accurate news not editorials. That’s what the comment section is for. So says Mr. Stewart.
WAKE up call to Amer’ca that the Israeli’s are running your country, getting you to fight wars for them. Drop a bomb on Tel Avi!
