Alwaght- A Singapore oil carrier that Western and Israeli officials and their media trumpets claimed was hijacked by Iranian-backed groups in the Persian Gulf was actually sailing to Iran and yesterday docked safely for business in the Iranian Port of Shaheed Rajaee, said Iran's Supreme National Security Council.
The British and American propaganda came earlier August as the new Iranian President Sayed Ibrahim Raisi was to assume office from Hassan Rouhani.
The propaganda grew as the British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab and the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken extensively condemned Iran and threatened with reciprocal measures.
They were actually supporting an Israeli escalation against Iran which claimed Tehran was behind an attack on one of its oil ships in the Gulf of Oman a few days ago.
The West and Tel Aviv never gave documents or even clues showing Iran was behind the attacks or the alleged hijacking.
In those days, Reuters in an apparently fake news claimed that Iranian-backed gunmen entered Asphalt Princess ship in the Gulf of Oman and kidnapped all its crew, as they led Golden Brilliant ship to an unknown destination.
Some Arab media, including the notorious Al Arabiya news network, a Saudi broadcaster, republished the Reuters report.
At the same time, many pro-Western social network users began to supplement this psychological warfare by raising the issue of Iran’s planting of waterways with sea mines, and claiming that the Golden Brilliant oil tanker containing chemicals bearing the flag of Singapore collided in the east of the Strait of Hormuz with the mines.
The fresh scandal is one among a series of scandals the Wester media, especially the prominent of them like Reuters news agency, are going through in their anti-Iranian propaganda.
In December 2019, Reuters reported that death toll from the 10-day riots in Iran in the same year was 1,500, without giving documentation or citing official outlets. Other allied Western media republished the news. In a 2021 report, the news agency reviewed the report, saying around 350 were actually killed, some of them security forces killed by Western-backed armed groups.
