@HUmble pie...since you’re still pushing your conspiracy theories, and aren’t forensically inclined.many ships have a large submarine type ballast tank that could have caused that.

White House Reviews Military Plans Against Iran, in Echoes of Iraq War
WASHINGTON — At a meeting of President Trump’s top national security aides last Thursday, Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan presented an updated military plan that envisions sending as many as 120,000 troops to the Middle East should Iran attack American forces or accelerate work on nuclear weapons, administration officials said.
The revisions were ordered by hard-liners led by John R. Bolton, Mr. Trump’s national security adviser. They do not call for a land invasion of Iran, which would require vastly more troops, officials said.
The development reflects the influence of Mr. Bolton, one of the administration’s most virulent Iran hawks, whose push for confrontation with Tehran was ignored more than a decade ago by President George W. Bush.

Is this okay with Trump supporters? Is it okay that John Bolton wants to send 120,000 troops into the region nearby to Iran which of course would be Iraq or Turkey? Do any of you remember how the Iraq war started? It began with the deployment of exactly 120,000 U.S. military, that's how.
John Bolton has historically been hawkish towards Iran. The simple fact is that he wants to wipe them off the map. Is this okay with all of you since Iran had been compliant with the Iran Nuclear Treaty and every other country that signed that treaty has been satisfied that Iran has been compliant? Is it okay that the US has no allies in this possible war with Iran other than Israel and Saudi Arabia? The US has no European allies.
Look at the big picture, who has more to gain and very little to lose here other than a few thousand U.S. military, ask yourself that question. This action by John Bolton is entirely unjustified and unwarranted. It's John Bolton that's been stirring up the pot and creating an enemy out of Iran that just doesn't have to be. There's no diplomacy being used in this administration, only strong-arming and bullying.
Take a close look at the two ships that the Saudis say were damaged by Iran. LOOK AT THEM. The damage is below the waterline. It looks as though those ships backed up into something and does not physically look like damage done by another ship ramming them. I believe the Saudis did it themselves to drum up something against Iran. I don't believe it for a minute. The Saudis and the US with Bolton acting as the instrument of propaganda are whipping up anti-Iran sentiment for a reason, they both want Iran out of the picture.
Study this photo. The damage shows steel bent upwards from the water line. I am not a forensic expert but anyone can clearly see this damage was not caused by being rammed from another ship. And no video or photo of the moment the event supposedly happened. That's almost impossible. It's all bull****.
