Report: Seven Ships Catch Fire at Iranian Port of Bushehr

avatar by Reuters and Algemeiner Staff, July 15, 2020:

At least seven ships have caught fire at Iran‘s Bushehr port, the Tasnim news agency reported on Wednesday, in what appeared to be the latest in a series of fires and explosions around the country, some of which have hit sensitive sites.

No casualties have been reported, the agency said.

Plumes of dense black smoke billowed into the air, in a photograph of the incident published by the official IRNA news agency. State broadcaster IRIB showed fighters tackling clouds of smoke at a shipyard at the southern port on the Gulf.

There have been several explosions and fires around Iranian military, nuclear and industrial facilities since late June, including a fire at Iran’s underground Natanz nuclear facility on July 2.

Iranian security forces fired tear gas on Thursday to disperse demonstrators gathered in the southwestern city of Behbahan, witnesses told…

Natanz is the centerpiece of Iran‘s enrichment programme, which Tehran claims is for peaceful purposes. Western intelligence agencies and the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog (IAEA) believe it had a coordinated, clandestine nuclear arms program that it halted in 2003.

Iran‘s top security body said on July 3 that the cause of the Natanz fire had been determined but would be announced at a later time. Some Iranian officials have said it may have been cyber sabotage and one of them warned that Tehran would retaliate against any country carrying out such attacks.

In an article in early July, state news agency IRNA addressed what it called the possibility of sabotage by enemies such as Israel and the United States, although it stopped short of accusing either directly.

Israel’s defense minister said on July 5 his country was not “necessarily” behind every mysterious incident in Iran.

On June 30, 19 people were killed in an explosion at a medical clinic in the north of the capital Tehran, which an official said was caused by a gas leak.

On June 26, an explosion occurred east of Tehran near the Parchin military and weapons development base that the authorities said was caused by a leak in a gas storage facility in an area outside the base……..

Great news, Allah must be pissed at Iran and its despotic, terrorist regime. As an afterthought, perhaps the likes of BLM, ANTIFA, the fake Democrats, and the malevolent Soros would be more content living in this shithole of a nation.They, of course, would be executed unless Obama were to tag along, as he and this repugnant regime are allies. Let’s hope this is but the beginning of the end of this radical, terrorist regime.

I wondered the same thing. Especially since they did collect an enormous amount of data a few years ago, and took it back to Israel. Netanyahu displayed it to the cameras. Mossad is an amazing force!!

The USS Bonhomme Richard is listed by the Navy as both as LHD 6 and CV31. Which designation is true?

The 7 ships burned were not warships. I saw the video. Looked like fishing boats, 50′ to 75′ long. Likely burned by Iranian resistance fighters.

Maybe Iran should rethink its policy of tough talk and always declaring they’re going to kill everybody. Perhaps they’ll learn there is a price to being a bully.

There’s very good news here in the USA too.
George Floyd’s arse was totally filled to the brim with drugs.
He overdosed.
The BLM brought the USA to it’s knees for nothing.

No matter how you slice it George Floyd didn’t deserve to die.

He shouldn’t have put drugs up his rectum.

Just sayin’. This’ll get Chauvin his job back and regrets expressed from the jury.

What’s the worst thing about it is the property destroyed and lives ruined by the Islam-Left which Floyd’s family should pay back personally or take out a loan for life at the bank for or do jail time for instead if they can’t pay.

People should do jail for that POS porn star thief. Supporting him online should be forbidden..

This sounds like Iranian resistance forces are now receiving more and more external aid and are becoming more and more aggressive and courageous. About time! Hopefully we might see the ayatollahs and their IRG minions dangling from ropes soon.
