Anyone else suspect American backed terrorists were involved?

Sounds like an accident to me. It happened at noon, hardly a covert operation by any professionals.

The other option is Iranian terrorist made a geographical mistake and took out their own port? I could see that happening.

Sometimes an accident is just an accident. How many undersea communications cables or pipelines have "accidentally" broke? Those were accidents, if we believe Russia and Chinese officials, so certainly this was also an accident.

America would have dropped 10 Tomahawks on the port, if that was their goal, and it wouldn't have been around noon.

Only the anti-American. Also what "American backed terrorists"? The US doesn't have a Ring of Fire in the region.

Mossad, Americans are not involved.

Two shiploads of perchlorate, an energetic material used to make solid rocket fuel, were delivered to the port from China. It was the perchlorate that exploded apparently due to negligent handling.

Israel doesn’t want the nuclear peace talks and subsequent sanction removal between the US and Iran to succeed. This is most likely an attempt to scupper them
