Liberation: Question after the attack on the Israeli ship in the Sea of Oman… is it a mine or a missile?
The merchant ship “Helios Ray” was exposed while sailing in the Sea of Oman to explosions, the source of which has not yet been determined, but the Israeli authorities accuse Tehran of being responsible.
According to the French Liberation Newspaper, several photos of the accident showed holes in the hull of the ship, above the waterline.
According to its owner, Israeli businessman Rami Ongar, the explosion left “two holes with a diameter of approximately 1.5 meters,” adding that “it has not been confirmed yet if this was caused by launching missiles or mines attached to the ship,” which means excluding the hypothesis of an accidental accident, given the type of damage.
Although Iran officially denied its involvement in this incident, Liberation stated that the premise of the deliberate attack arouses the enthusiasm of the most extremist parties in the Iranian political scene.
The Helios Ray “probably fell into the trap of one of the branches of the resistance axis,” but Kayhan went so far as to confirm that “the spy ship was gathering intelligence information about the Gulf when it was targeted”.
Liberation said that the Gulf and the StRayt of Hormuz had not witnessed such an accident for nearly 18 months, noting that the Israeli ship that was targeted last Friday is flying the Bahamas flag, but it is owned by the Israeli company Helios Ltd.
Liberation added that its crew is in good health and in good health, however this merchant ship that left Dammam, Saudi Arabia, last Wednesday, bound for Singapore, was forced to return to dock in Dubai, UAE.
