Yeah, Navy Seals are willingly going to attack their own branch, their own ship, their own citizens of which coordinate the very resources that are supposed to attack? SOF and the military, in general, don't operate like you think it does. You guys watch too many movies and need to stop cui bono and false flag weirdness!

I agree it's hard to believe that Navy seals would attack a US Navy ship no matter who orders them to...
However note that commercial ships were the ones actually attacked, and that they were attacked away from the crew quarters.
I have no trouble believing that at all...

I think it is entirely possible that the ship hulls were pierced by small shells launched by drone.
Then US or Arab personnel went to rescue and inspect, and the footage of them doing so is now being recycled and presented to us as Iranians trying to clean their tracks.

It's ridiculous.
Iran gains nothing from disabling two oil tankers.
And if they were to do it, I don't see why they wouldn't admit to it.
If they really wanted to disrupt shipping in the strait, they would say something like, "your ships will stop being harassed once we get what we want."
They're not saying anything like that.
It wasn't them.
It could have been the Houthis, but I doubt it. Too far from their area of operation.
