    Default Crew 'held captive in Iran after gunboats surround ship'

    The crew of an oil tanker has been detained in Iran after gunboats surrounded their ship, according to reports.

    Washington has blamed Tehran for attacks on two oil tankers - the Japanese-owned Kokura Courageous and Norwegian-owned Front Altair - which rattled global oil markets amid escalating tensions between the two nations.

    Iran has denied responsibility, saying on Friday that America's accusations were "alarming" and it rescued the crew of the attacked tankers "in the shortest possible time".

    But US officials now say Iranian gunboats surrounded the Front Altair demanding crew, according to Fox News.

    The captain ordered the crew to surrender and 23 crew members are being held in Iran, the report claims.


    Navy Captain Bill Urban, a spokesman for the US military's Central Command, earlier said Iranian forces told a ship that had rescued sailors from the Altair "to turn the crew over to the Iranian (fast inshore attack craft)".

    It isn't really surprising that the weak-minded and the desperate will resort to the hilarities of the Brit gutter-press for attention. maggot is a case in point. Haw, haw..........haw.

    "Here’s the good news: Right now it seems fairly unlikely that a full-blown war is on the horizon, mostly because President Donald Trump and American allies don’t want one. Nor does Iran, it seems. But the situation is still very tense, and the room for error and miscalculation on both sides remains high.

    So what exactly is going on? How did we get here? Why did this escalation happen so suddenly? And what would a conflict with Iran even look like, anyway? The confusion is fair after all Trump seems to enjoy keeping everyone — including the Iranians — guessing.

    This was written 3 weeks ago folks, you can decide the if the room for error/'or need' has gotten higher."

    The Izraeli press featured a video of the rescued crewmen enjoying a bit of English language tv in an Iranian port. That was yesterday morning. Your Brit crap sheet is a day late and a dollar short.

    Now, now, Billy bath-tub. You really don't want to drop your trollshit all over the nice anatta's thread, do you. He was just warming up with his Iranophobia and you've gone and spoiled it. Haw, haw......haw.

    Why don't you go and dump in a thread you haven't been banned from.
