The Japanese supertanker M. STAR was damaged in an attack near the Strait of Hormuz Wednesday, July 28. One lifeboat was blown off the ship and a large dent made in its hull. Pakistan's double game, Iran's meddling in Afghanistan on the side of Taliban, corruption in Kabul and the high civilian death toll were common knowledge before. So who profited from dropping 91,000 confidential documents in the lap of Wikileaks.org website this week? DEBKAfile's Iranian sources quote President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as saying: "We have precise information that the Americans have devised a plot, according to which they seek to launch a psychological war on Iran. They plan to attack at least two countries in the region within the next three months," he said, without specifying which countries were the subjects of the alleged conspiracy, only hinting that Israel was directly involved.
DEBKAfile: Most unusually, US Navy and Iranian officials agreed that the the damage to the tanker, the first commercial vessel attacked in the strategic straits, was caused by an explosion by an unknown hand and must be contained before it gets out of control.
