DarkHunter Posted July 7, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) Happened minutes ago, seems an oil tanker has exploded in Dubai while in port. https://mobile.twitter.com/no_itsmyturn/status/1412868333511249923 Link has pics and a video of the explosion. No reasons for the explosion yet being given. Some updated information, the ship was outside the port and not in it. Immediate speculation online was an oil tanker but it hasnt been confirmed yet, may have been a cargo ship but if it was a cargo ship something big exploded on it.

Buzz_Light_Year Posted July 7, 2021 #3 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I would think had it been a tanker the ship would've remained ablaze. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkHunter Posted July 7, 2021 Author #6 Share Posted July 7, 2021 From more current reports there were no dead or wound from the explosion, the explosion occured on a cargo ship, and the cargo ship was docked at the time of the explosion. The explosion was so powerful that it was detected by satellites with thermal imaging. Speculation is starting to grow that Iran is behind the explosion as Iran has made multiple threats about the UAE signing onto the Abraham accords and the fact the UAE has an upcoming expo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has the potential to strengthen the Dubai/Israel alliance unless the new government in Israel is bending to U.S. pressure where Iran is concerned. Lapid would bend over backward for Biden's handlers but Bennett, maybe less likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
