    Default U.S. seizes Iranian gas from 4 tankers headed to Venezuela

    BOOM !!!!!



    Pres. Trump, once again, illustrates the massive difference between himself, and the ball-less President Mommy Pants...Biden included, without even firing a shot...:


    U.S. seizes Iranian gas from 4 tankers headed to Venezuela

    MIAMIThe Trump administration has seized the cargo of four tankers it was targeting for transporting Iranian fuel to Venezuela, U.S. officials said Thursday, as it steps up its campaign of maximum pressure against the two heavily sanctioned allies.


    Last month, federal prosecutors in Washington filed a civil forfeiture complaint alleging that the sale was arranged by a businessman, Mahmoud Madanipour, with ties to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization. At the time, sanctions experts thought it would be impossible to enforce the U.S. court order in international waters.


    A senior U.S. official told The Associated Press that no military force was used in the seizures and that the ships weren’t physically confiscated. Rather, U.S. officials threatened ship owners, insurers and captains with sanction to force them to hand over their cargo, which now becomes U.S. property, the official said.






    Prosecutors alleged the four ships were transporting to Venezuela 1.1 million barrels of gasoline. But the tankers never arrived at the South American country and then went missing. Two of the ships later reappeared near Cape Verde, a second U.S. official said.


    Both officials agreed to discuss the sensitive diplomatic and judicial offensive only if granted anonymity.

    This is pretty much how China is going to operate after they spread their empire around the globe.....they are going to do what ever they want to do.

    America will have no cause to complain about it now after this and a whole bunch of other things we have done....for instance torture.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    Is this an Act of War? Or some kind of Piracy?

    'International Shipping'.
    Isn't that what everyone is worrying about in the South China Sea? Interference of Shipping on the High Seas?

    Oh. Just their Cargo was taken. Well, I guess that's cool. When China does the exact same thing in the South China Sea, it's good to know this is all legal, accepted, and the New Rules.
