Chinese/pro-Iran accounts went viral claiming:
1️⃣ Iran "heroically" sank a tanker defying warnings in the Strait of Hormuz
2️⃣ US "sank an unarmed Iranian warship"
Both lies collapse instantly:
🚢 The tanker? Safesea Vishnu
- Already crossed Hormuz weeks ago (late Feb, pre-war)
- Was anchored inside the Gulf, following Iran's own "anchor & wait" orders
- Sitting duck with hundreds of other ships too scared to transit
So "brave tanker shot while crossing"?
Nope. Stationary commercial ship = fair game in their narrative.
But an active Iranian warship in a hot war zone? Suddenly "unarmed" & innocent victim.
😂 Narratives flip faster than oil prices when the goal is info warfare, not truth.
