Iran Seizes Another Oil Tanker

[katzgar]

I am wondering if maybe the Mexican navy can stop this. Another option might be the Haitian navy, I think they have a canoe that might do the trick. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ns/1914486001/

why cant the oil companies pay for their own security

[dukkha]

Washington has boosted its military deployments in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for oil tankers. It is trying to establish an international maritime force to patrol the region. Britain is trying to create a separate European maritime security force. It remains unclear whether NATO will take part.

whatever Iran is trying to do here, is not working

Iran has arrested a smuggler tanker- according to reports.

Let's not forget that Izrael asked Trump to tell the Brits to arrest an Iranian tanker off Gibraltar- the cause of all this trouble.
It was Izrael that sent Trump to the Gulf in the first place. Remember ?
Never mind Iran trying to defend itself- take a look at who wants a war.

No details about who owns the ship or the crew's nationalities were given.

I wonder why.

Iran, on the State Dept. list of state sponsors of terrorism.

Their economy is dying, this is to deflect attention from that.

WATCH Iran’s Revolutionary Guard seize tanker smuggling fuel in Persian Gulf



Footage released by Iranian media shows the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) capturing a foreign vessel which was “smuggling” fuel to “some Arab states.”
A short video published by the Iranian channel Press TV on social media shows the IRGC patrol boats approaching the ship, which reportedly had as many as 700,000 liters of fuel on board. An IRGC commander told the media that the vessel was captured near the island of Farsi in the Persian Gulf on Wednesday.
