Iran's largest warship catches fire, sinks in Gulf of Oman

Pants of fire

The largest warship the Iranian navy had caught fire for reasons unknown, and later sank Wednesday in the Gulf of Oman, and oh man, are the Iranians upset. This is one of Iran's latest screwups as tensions grow with the West.

Fortunately for the terrorists, nobody was killed from the blaze that began at 2:25 a.m. and firefighters tried to contain it but failed, the state-controlled Fars news agency, an agency similar to CNN and MSNBC reported.

Happily for us, but sadly for them, the 679-foot Kharg sank. It was used to resupply other ships in the fleet at sea and conduct training exercises. Apparently their naval trainers didn't teach the part about fire prevention. 

Fars reported that 400 sailors and trainee cadets abandoned the sinking ship like rats on a, well, sinking ship. If the 400 Iranian crew, 33 suffered injuries.

The ship became a non-functioning submarine near the Iranian port of Jask, about 790 miles southeast of Tehran on the Gulf of Oman near the Strait of Hormuz — the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf. 

Photos circulated on Iranian social media showed sailors wearing life jackets, clearly scared with some seemingly weeping, abandoning the boat as a fire burned behind them. 

Fars published video of thick, black smoke rising from the ship early Wednesday morning. Satellites from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that track fires from space detected a blaze near Jask that started just before the time of the fire reported by Fars.

Iranian officials offered no cause for the fire aboard the Kharg, though they said an investigation had begun and they are currently looking for ways to blame the Jews, although none were sighted near the vessel at the time the fire roared.

And then there was this massive fire on Wednesday night at the oil refinery in Tehran sending plumes of black smoke over the capital city. It was also unclear in this case what caused the inferno at the Tondgooyan Petrochemical Co., as the temperatures reached 104 degrees Fahrenheit from the summer heat, and this had historically caused fires to burn.

Somehow, however, Iran will find a way to blame, who else, the Joooze!

Interestingly, the Wednesday fire aboard theKharg comes after a series of unexplained explosions began in 2019 targeting commercial ships in the Gulf of Oman. The U.S. Navy had accused Iran of using limpet mines to target these ships with timed explosives usually attached by divers to a ship's hull.

Naturally Iran denied the allegations put forth by the United States but U.S. Navy footage shows Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard terrorists removing one of the unexploded limpet mines from a ship. 

So don't believe your lying eyes--it was those Joooze!

The sinking of the mighty Kharg marks the latest naval cluster***k for Iran. In 2020, during an Iranian military training exercise, a missile mistakenly struck a naval vessel near Jask, killing 19 sailors and wounding 15. Also in 2018, an Iranian navy destroyer sank in the Caspian Sea.

It couldn't have happened to a nicer group of scumcrumpets.

 there that aren’t vaccinated?” Lightfoot added. “There’s no way to know that. So I think for the time being, most people are gonna continue to wear masks outside of their homes.”
