Iran has apparently been operating a floating base for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in the Red Sea. It has been operating there for at least a few years.

The Saviz, owned by the state-linked Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines, came to the Red Sea in late 2016, according to ship-tracking data. In the years since, it has drifted off the Dahlak archipelago, a chain of islands off the coast of the nearby African nation of Eritrea in the Red Sea. It likely received supply replenishments and switched crew via passing Iranian vessels using the waterway.

The ship is rumored to be providing support to the Houthi militia operating in Yemen which is across the sea from the archipelago where it has been anchored.

Earlier this week the ship reported that it was attacked by a mine. And in true Obama-Biden Israel hating fashion, intelligence was leaked from within the our government to the New York Times.  The leak contained information that “an American official, said that Israel had informed the United States that it was the one who attacked Saviz.”

If there is one thing you can count on from the Obama team, its the genuine hatred they have for the Jewish state. It should be noted that for the first time in the history of the UN, the US abstained from an anti-Israel resolution which allowed to to pass. This was interpreted as a final slap to Israel from Obama as he was on his way out the door.

If this was a test to see how the Biden Administration would treat Israel, it was a very successful one. The Jewish nation now knows for certain that it cannot trust the current leadership of the US.
