I do not agree on the nuclear threat and the Iranian support for international terror being alibis to gag them economically or "steal their oil" or to control the flow of oil to China and Asia. The threat of nuclear wepaons and the threat of proliferation and nuclear arms arace in the region, and the threats of Iran to Israel, and the Iranian terror export - each of them for itself imo are valid reasons to isolate and contain Iran and to prevent them from getting nuclear weapons no matter the costs of this denial.
And I say this since long before Trump came to power already.

It will be interesting to see what nationality said tanker is and if it turns out to be British then the chances of a military response may well be raised a notch.

The sooner the vessel is identified we'll see if another country has been pulled into the problem. It is being suggested the vessel may be Iraqi.

So the supertanker Grace1 was detained due to a (made-up) breach of EU law by England, and now the US demands it to be further detained?
Well i guess we all know what's really going on, don't we?

The outcome will be decided by the courts.

Most likely, I should imagine they'll already have vessels in the area

Pure speculation
If the American Navy work as an extended part of the American law and enforcement and sieges this tanker right after it have left Gibraltar What will happen in USA ? Will the Dem. accuse Trump ? What will happen in Europe and Middle east. How will the politicians react to this action(if it happens) and not to forget the response from Iran ? Markus |
