No nation’s ships are being permitted to move through Straits of Hormuz. Who is attacking the ships?
Fri 9:54 am +00:00, 13 Mar 2026 3I have seen several reports that Iran is permitting ships through the Straits of Hormuz.
Emil Cosman says Indian ships are being allowed through.
Meryl Nass reports today that Chinese ships are being allowed through.
Neither is true.
I have a friend on a ship anchored near Abu Musa Island and he sends out daily reports on Facebook with video and pictures describing everything he sees.
He’s the Captain of the ship. I will not disclose which one he’s on.
The IRGC communicates with all the ships by VHF radio and they make it absolutely clear that no ships of any nationality are being allowed through.
He showed pictures of the ship next to his on fire after being hit by a drone. It was Chinese. It was anchored and not attempting to move through.
It was a container ship. Hit in the hull on the starboard side, damaging the main engine and the auxiliary engine, blacking out the ship.
All the crew are safe, but there is no rescue as the Ports are no longer operational, and there are no naval ships around.
The Iranians did not attack the ship, it appears, so who did? The ships are facing East. Was it Israelis/Americans/British picking off ships from countries loyal to Iran.
Abu Musa island (Iranian) near UAE is being attacked by missiles from midnight until morning, approximately 50 missiles.
The New Atlas on youtube says the purpose of America is to cut off China from oil and all other supply.
The above narrative lends support to Brian Berletic’s view that this is the reason why the world is being cast into war.
The main media says Iran is attacking the ships. This is not so likely.
This is surely planned. Only an idiot couldn’t see that this was inevitable if they started this war. We all knew that here didn’t we, so they must have too
Yes Pete. The report is purely from a seaman observing what’s going on around as he is trapped with his ship inside the Straits. It’s interesting that ships are being picked off by drones – by America or its vassals. In this case a Chinese container ship – which lends support to The New Atlas view that the purpose of the war to isolate and cut off China.

Almost hilarious, if not so serious

Eating out? More hilarity
