DUBAI (Reuters) — Iran’s largest naval vessel, the Kharg, caught fire and later sank in the Gulf of Oman. The entire crew was able to safely disembark, the semi-official news agency Fars said, but offered no further explanation for the incident.
The British-built fleet replenishment vessel, which measured more than 200 long, caught fire on Tuesday off the port of Jask on the Gulf of Oman, the navy said.

If the remaining Iranian navy could blaze, it would be very fine. They will blame the Israelis again....

It IS a Navy ship, and an important one, but it’s a SUPPLY ship. NOT a warship. But combine this with the refinery fire and it’s suspicious as hell.

No luck with this fire. Why not simply reveal what caused it, something to hide the Iranians? Everything is obscure with them.
