BREAKING: Iranian Forces Fire On and seize Cargo Ship

[Where_r_my_Keys]

Well... This is what happens when the Left elects those who represent the perspective of the enemy and who are hostile to the principles that define America... . The Enemies of the US start getting stupid.

"Iranian naval forces shot at, boarded and confiscated a commercial vessel transiting the Straits of Hormuz on Tuesday.

The MV Maersk Tigris, a 65,000-ton container ship, was flying a Marshall Islands flag and operated by Rickmers Shipmanagement, a Singaporean company. The ship departed from the Saudi Arabian port of Jeddah and was bound for the United Arab Emirates.

According to Iranian staterun media, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps seized the ship under court order for “legal reasons,” which the Pentagon called “provocative” several hours later.

The Maersk Tigris initially ignored Iranian patrol boats that ordered it deeper into Iranian territorial waters, but complied after the vessels fired several warning shots, US Col. Steve Warren said. US forces in the region responded to its distress calls by sending the USS Farragut, a destroyer, to monitor the situation along with reconnaissance aircraft.

The ship, which is currently in Iranian custody, is not carrying any US citizens, Warren added. Iranian media claimed the ship was American, sailing under a false flag, while noting that its 34 crew members were mostly European."

You went from quoting a Saudi source claiming that Iran seized a U.S. ship with 34 citizens aboard to a complete backpedal. I'm glad you're learning you're place.

Iran is an irrational player... it has no right to detain anyone on the open sea.

Of course, it does possess the power to do so, as long as those with greater power allow it to do so.

And that scamp, is The Problem.

If you think she is a sock or was banned report it to the mods. Making false accusations is wrong, provide actual evidence you are right.

I don't know If EconChick changed her name or was banned - I doubt she was banned - perhaps she banned herself. But I do know this: she claimed she was in Iraq involved with the negotiations in 2008, but she did not know that Iraq's legislature was required to approve it. She said Obama put a poison pill into the SOFA negotiations.

EC 9601433

Plus Obama put a poison pill that made it impossible to accept.

How was she involved in the SOFA negotiations but not know that Iraq's parliament had to approve the 2008 SOFA.

She's not banned. Last time I spoke to her she said she was getting bored... and was going to take some time off. Said she was going to try something more challenging than debating Leftists... said she was thinking about making a bowl of cereal.
