And all those “sailors” standing too close to it were confident it wouldn’t explode?

If they are familiar with it. Either a safety pin was not removed or a model they use and are familiar with therefore know how to disarm it. That is the only scenario explaining them removing it. For all we know, they might have been the crew that placed it.

Maybe it’s a macho thing. But I would think a deployed limpet mine is intrinsically unsafe.

If it did not explode, then they who placed it might know why. If it was an explosive device of foreign manufacture, they would be nowhere near the device. At this point, better to be filmed doing something that cannot be proven absolutely then let it be examined by someone else.

Would you agree they would remove it even if it did not belong to them? Assuming they knew how. The tanker wasn’t able.

There’s confidence and then there’s ignorance. We had soldiers in Desert Stormed killed or maimed from playing catch with unexploded bomblets they found. Duds aren’t always duds.

You assume they are not familiar with it. If its Iranian, then they who placed it would be familiar with it.
