Original Story:
Two oil tankers were attacked by unidentified explosive devices early Thursday near the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf of Oman, prompting crews to be evacuated. The attacks come on the heels of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit to Tehran to try to ease tensions between Iran and the United States.
No word has been released on who perpetrated the attacks, but all eyes are on Iran. They were accused by the United States and others in the international community for four attacks on tankers in the area last month.

According to the Jerusalem Post, the attacks occurred near an Iranian naval base that has submarines.

The Middle East has always been the flash point of many world events, especially considering its strategic value in the oil trade. Iran’s economy has been failing under crushing American sanctions following President Trump’s withdrawal from the Iran Nuclear Deal with the United Nations.
They’re getting desperate. In a situation like their’s, chaos and instability are often seen as the only recourse. They are not strong enough to sustain a war against the United States, but they could prompt strikes as a result of actions like these, then plead innocent to an international community that loves to condemn the United States whenever an opening arises.
This is not an isolated incident. It’s another example of the passive-aggressive confrontational style of Iran, which likes to keep degrees of separation between them and their handy work. How will the world respond?

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
