Yesterday, the Europa Press agency noted that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europapress.es\/nacional\/noticia-sumar-quiere-defensa-aclare-si-buque-juan-carlos-armada-tiene-mision-cerca-iran-20240814172139.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sumar has asked the government to clarify whether the Spanish aircraft carrier \"Juan Carlos I\" is in waters near Iran<\/a>, stating that that country has captured the Spanish flagship near its coasts.<\/p>\n<p>According to Europa Press, <strong>Sumar's question<\/strong>, signed by three deputies of the United Left (the electoral brand of the Spanish Communist Party since 1986), <strong>wants the government to explain \"where and who\" has made the decision to send the Spanish aircraft carrier to an area with a \"potential regional war\"<\/strong>. This question is funny, because as I have already pointed out at the beginning, Sumar is part of the government. <strong>To find out where the \"Juan Carlos I\" is, Sumar only had to ask his socialist colleagues from the PSOE<\/strong>, the party to which the Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, belongs. Instead, they <strong>present a parliamentary question that contributes to spreading an Iranian hoax<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><big>A question based on a hoax by the Iranian regime<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Sumar\u2019s question is based on <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20240810013623\/https:\/\/en.mehrnews.com\/news\/219240\/IRGC-releases-footage-of-surveilling-US-warships\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a news story published by Iran\u2019s Mehri news agency on August 9<\/a>, which claimed that <strong>four drones from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had captured the Spanish aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf<\/strong>, accompanied by two unnamed US ships: a San Antonio-class amphibious ship and a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship. <strong>Here we can see the video released by Mehri<\/strong>, supposedly with images recorded hours or days before (the news does not indicate this):<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"665\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u26a1\ufe0fJUST IN<\/p>\n<p>The Iranian armed forces have released footage of stealth drones closely monitoring American and Spanish warships in the Persian Gulf <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TJVeCl8Q0O\">pic.twitter.com\/TJVeCl8Q0O<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Iran Observer (@IranObserver0) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IranObserver0\/status\/1821946145880322440?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 9, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><big>The 'Juan Carlos I' is not in Iran, but in the Canary Islands<\/big><\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.portaldecadiz.com\/provinciacadiz\/111510-los-buques-juan-carlos-i-y-galicia-regresan-a-rota-tras-una-extensa-operacion-de-la-armada\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the \"Juan Carlos I\" returned to its base in Rota in mid-July<\/a> after a deployment of several months in the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SubdelegCadiz\/status\/1821273619034730765\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">On August 7, the government subdelegate in Cadiz visited that ship in Rota<\/a>, as noted that same day by the Twitter account of that Subdelegation:<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\" style=\"margin:10px 0 10px 0;\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"es\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddf8 Hoy, la Subdelegada del Gobierno, Blanca Flores, visit\u00f3 la base naval de <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Rota?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Rota<\/a> junto al Almirante de la Flota, Eugenio D\u00edaz del R\u00edo, el Vicealmirante Rub\u00e9n Rodr\u00edguez y el Contralmirante Vicente Rubio.

Besides, before making a fool of themselves by presenting a parliamentary question like that, the Sumar deputies would have only had to look for a little information, which is what I did to write this article. <strong>Another thing is that Sumar has some interest in doing favors for the Iranian regime,<\/strong> for reasons that I do not know but that it would be good if they explained to all Spaniards.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p>Main photo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/elentir\/53851802119\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Elentir<\/a>.
