And blitz aboard a cargo ship off the coast of Somalia. The attempt to get on the boat, one of the two slipping into the water and the second “unhooking” as per the operating procedure. Then silence. Two Navy Sealsthe most experienced US military trained for the most difficult and reckless missions, they disappeared during a key operation anti-Iranian in the seas of Africa conducted four days ago. A story that the Pentagon is dealing with the strictest confidentiality, limiting himself to confirming that the two actually are disappeared and that their research is ongoing. Nothing more, nothing less.
What is certainly known is that the two special forces men – assigned to the Fifth Fleet, based in Bahrainof the Naval Special Warfare Command – they had embarked on the Gulf of Aden and they had to reach in the course of the Night the cargo. It is not known for what. But the most probable track is that of an attempt to reconnaissance on board the vessel to confirm the presence of weapons of Iranian manufacture intended for Houthithe Yemeni rebels supported by Tehran who for weeks have been doing target practice against commercial ships passing through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden itself.
Or perhaps the two, once on board, not only had to confirm the presence of weapons but also place one explosive charge at the helm capable of taking the ship out, preventing the weapons from reaching the rebels. This would explain the action at night and coinciding with theair attack orchestrated by Washington e London. Boarding in the dark hours is considered by US officials to be one of the most difficult e dangerous, even more so if carried out in the middle of the ocean. L’training and theequipment of the Navy Seals, accustomed to surviving in extreme conditions for days and equipped with thermal suitsleave us to hope that – albeit at a distance now four days – it is still possible to trace the two operatives alive.
