What is really going on out there?
Iran cannot just wake up one morning and with no reason, start seizing oil tankers.
That oil is being smuggled from where ? Are those tankers dodging Iranian tarrifs?

Iran has seized another foreign tanker in the Gulf, Iranian state media say.

A Revolutionary Guard Corps commander was quoted as saying its naval forces had "seized a foreign tanker in the Persian Gulf that was smuggling fuel for some Arab countries".

It said the tanker was carrying 700,000l of fuel, adding that seven sailors had been detained.

It's a trap for Iran. The west are committing Iran to more errors so that when they'll eventually descend on her, her apologists would stay clear. Just wait and see.

It's good that a country like Iran is able to stand up to her bullies. Even if Iran falls at the end the fact still remain that she was able to stand up to her bullies. Diplomacy is the way forward but that's if US understands what diplomacy means.

it's like Iran does not care anymore at this stage. Their economy has been destroyed. I think she wants that war because she knows it would explode the whole middle east.

Don't want to space out of the subject here but wondering why are people referring to a country by using
" her or she ". Is a country a woman?
Why not use "they " ?
Stop womanizing this world angry

Exactly. Funny enough, Iran thought they could drag China (their apologist) into their jinx by continually depositing their oil on China reserve in Zhengzhou but China knew better that if anythng boomerang they'll shoot them off. China is their only hope in sustaining their feeble economy. Iran want d war but America is trying to cripple them from all sides before she strike on d offensive.

dermmy Iran just unveiled an advanced radar capable of detecting objects within a 400-kilometer range, this new system can detect stealth aircraft and drones, for now we don't know how powerful these Iranian techs are, they probably unveiling these as a deterrence.

Sanction is still crippling the economy, but so far the masses aren't against their government, the mullahs wont bend, a bit complex issue I must say.
