Iran Has Seized 2 UK Oil Tankers

[Mindful]

Unlike the piracy in the Strait of Gibraltar, our action in the Persian Gulf is to uphold int'l maritime rules. As I said in NY, it is IRAN that guarantees the security of the Persian Gulf & the Strait of Hormuz. UK must cease being an accessory to #EconomicTerrorism of the US.

Russia:
"“Iran’s arguments are much more right than those of Gibraltar and London who are indulging in piracy. Iran is taking care of the ecology in the Strait of Hormuz,” he noted."
Iran's argument behind seizure of UK oil tanker more convincing than Britain's: Russia

Brits don't tend to go in for tit for tat stuff.

They don´t tend to do anything, unless Washington tells them.

And you know this, how?

Britain was upholding EU regulations in the Straits of Gibralter.

You know, the EU? Ever heard of it?

The EU has no authorities there. The EU has lost the last bit of credibility when they recognized Guaido, anyway. They all just follow US instructions. A trojan horse in our midst.

How do you know they follow US instructions? You come up with these trite phrases, that mean nothing.

Iran's argument behind seizure of UK oil tanker more convincing than Britain's: Russia

We can, I think, safely dismiss whatever is coming out of Tehran - or Moscow, for that matter - on that issue. However...

The EU, a conglomerate of member states, has decided to sanction certain trades with Syria. They have resolved to sanction member states doing such trades with Syria. They have no power, no mandate, no business sanctioning non-member-states for anything, and didn't do it, until right now.

That's when things really get funny, when the Brexiteers in London, at the behest of the anti-EU mouth-breathers in Washington, impound a non-member tanker following sanctions not applicable to that non-member.

If anyone thinks there may be flimsier pretexts for piracy, they have a long search ahead.

How do you know such things?

A thinly veiled pretence for utter contempt for, and resentment towards, the UK and the US.

It was ever so. With you.

It is based on History. EU sanctions and measures only appear after the US did something. You can see, when Washington did nothing for a certain period, after a short cool down, the opinions of our politicians. Example:
Chancellor Merkel in support of upcoming Syrian Idlib offensive

Why don´t they leave other countries alone, then? I am not in complicity with criminals, whether they claim to act lawfully or humanitarian or how they call their raids.

[martybegan]

Yep, "balls". In, out, six months tops, and it'll cost a pittance - actually, Saudi Arabia and Mexico will pay, and Trump will make a profit!

All the world's stupid, unite! It's been such fun the last time it's been tried!

So Iran should be allowed to get away with a blatant violation of international law?

So, now, all of a sudden, you are concerned with violations of international law? Like, as the U.S. blatantly does by violating the provisions of the JCPOA?

When I said, "All the world's stupid, unite!", did you think it should be taken at face value?

You didn't answer the question.

The Iranian ship was detained by the UK at the behest of the EU. If even the EU decides to go through with something like this, you know they have the Iranians cold.

Try using something besides Tu Quo Que to defend your position.

You have yet to demonstrate Iran violated international laws. Therefore, I reject your question along with your implied accusation.

And, you know, dummy, they didn't detain the ship at the behest at the EU. The EU is pretty much all embarrassed silence concerning the Grace 1. If you knew anything about anything, you wouldn't spout such crap, but then, you can't help yourself.

See, here's the EU advisory on EU sanctions concerning Syria:

1. Who needs to comply with the Regulation? (Article 35 of the Regulation)

EU restrictive measures apply in situations where links exist with the European Union (“EU”). The application of the Regulation is defined in Article 35 of the Regulation. It applies:

(a) within the territory of the Union, including its airspace;
(b) on board any aircraft or any vessel under the jurisdiction of a Member State;
(c) to any person inside or outside the territory of the Union who is a national of a Member State;
(d) to any legal person, entity or body which is incorporated or constituted under the law of a Member State;
(e) to any legal person, entity or body in respect of any business done in whole or in part within the Union.

Therefore, the Regulation applies in the territory of the Union. Additionally, EU citizens in third countries, as well as entities constituted in a Member State (e.g. an organisation constituted under Member State law, its subsidiary incorporated within the EU, or its branch), need to respect EU restrictive measures. The Regulation also applies to entities or bodies that are tasked with the implementation, whether directly or indirectly, of the EU budget.​

Yeah, "they have the Iranians cold."

“That refinery is the property of an entity that is subject to European Union sanctions against Syria,” Gibraltar Chief Minister Fabian Picardo said. “With my consent, our port and law enforcement agencies sought the assistance of the Royal Marines in carrying out this operation.”

What's it got to do with these people?

The crew on board are Indian, Russian, Latvian and Filipino.

They've been taken off the ship for questioning.

What is it that you don't get?

Charts showing the ship was in Omani waters when it was captured prove its seizure was in "clear violation of international law", the UK Chamber of Shipping said.

Ludicrous. Even if true, and that "refinery" is owned by an entity subject to EU sanctions, how do you fashion those sanctions extend to Iran? Because, dummy, they don't. And that's before we get to the unresolved question as to the real destination of that tanker. But, you can't help yourself and do what authoritarian submissives have done since forever, swallowed whole the lies their Dear Leader feeds them, gladly and eagerly. Does all that swallowing get easier over time?

23 hostages......Websites tracking the ship's path show it turning sharply in the direction of Iran's Qeshm Island, instead of its intended destination of Saudi Arabia.

UK-flagged tanker seized by Iran's Revolutionary Guard in Strait of Hormuz

Act of War.

Not the US government’s problem.

Why do Americans love war? It would seem war propaganda promoted by the government controlled media works.

Britain is an ally. Closing the Straight of Hormuz by Iran would lead to an economic panic which would be the US government's problem.
