Iran Loses Largest Warship After Fire Cripples, Sinks Vessel in Gulf of Oman

Simon Kent 2 Jun 2021

Iran’s largest naval vessel caught fire and sank Wednesday in the Gulf of Oman, under circumstances yet to be made clear by Tehran.

The IRNA news outlet reports multiple efforts over 26 hours failed to save the British-built ship from foundering in what is just the latest disaster to hit the trouble-plagued Iranian navy.

Video of the incident was soon making its way around social media outlets, showing the stricken vessel disappearing beneath the waves in a cloud of acrid smoke:

What is the gospel? I’ll put it in a sentence.
The gospel is the news that Jesus Christ, the Righteous One, died for our sins and rose again, eternally triumphant over all his enemies, so that there is now no condemnation for those who believe, but only everlasting joy.
That’s the gospel. (John Piper)

Fire is the #1 threat for any naval vessel.

If it was actually borrowed we'd be in better shape. They're simply creating it out of thin air.

Hmmm: Iran's largest warship mysteriously explodes, sinks; UPDATE: Large refinery fire erupts near Tehran

“Unclear circumstances.” That’s the word from quasi-official Iranian news agencies about the sinking of the Kharg, their largest warship while on patrol in the Gulf of Oman. Initial reports are sketchy, but there appears to have been an explosion in the engine room:
...
What happened? It might be a case of engine failure, neglect, or incompetence by the Kharg’s crew. On the other hand, the rash of other ship fires in the area provides some interesting context:
...
Update: Is this also a coincidence?

Commercial vessels aren't generally built to the same standards of robustness as naval vessels. Iran has converted a couple of cargo vessels into helicopter carriers, this being one. Another is currently headed for Venezuela.

This is what you can achieve with an orbital 'Beam' weapons system.

One direct pulse shuts down all electrical grids and the 2nd burst directs enough heat to a flammable source on board the vessel.

I would be either Israel physical sabotage or Iranian incompetence.  Could even be both.

Iran needs to import some glass bottom vessels from France.
