Dp you know what it takes to enforce a naval blockage
We are talking about ship's monitoring the seas 24/7,
Dose Iran have the navy power to mount a blockage,,
A naval blockage is stopping ships from passing a particular route, both military and civilian vessels,
Shooting rocket is not the same as a blockage
The red sea you are saying is blocked by the houtis is been patrolled by USA navy warship this every moment, and you are saying a naval blockage


Go and read about the USA naval blockage against Cuba, during the Cuba missiles crisis.

The funny thing is that you wrote Hezbollah
Hezbollah that can't even put it's house together will enforce a naval blockage.

Even Iran can't even enforce dominance over waters in it's backyard, the Persia gulf were the USA navy fifth fleet is headquarters in Bahrain


Please write with facts
grin grin very dull people. america naval blockade against cuba is very cheap and simple kind of blockade. its like standing infront of a door and preventing anyone from entering. houthi blockade is far far more complex. number one, it a selective kind of blockade. like standing in front of a door and then preventing only a certain kind of people from entering. the blockade target america, british and israel ships only. so, how do u know, if a ship is israel or not? cos just like danfo, a ship can carry any goods for any country. meaning, a ship maybe allowed to pass in the morning cos its serving france only for same ship to be blocked in the afterrnoon cos its now serving america. u need supper intel to know the difference. then secondly, houthi is standing at many doors at once. the bab al mandeb strait, the gulf of aden and the indian ocean and no american british or israeli ship has passed for 6months now. if u think that what iran or houthi is doing is not blockade, go and pass there first, i wan check something

Sentiment How many times have Iran indirectly attack Israel home soil using proxies Even the 7th October attack by hamas was orchestrated by the said late general that was killed in the Israeli attack on the Iranian consolate.

Honestly speaking Iran understand Clearly that a direct attack on Israel will be very costly.

Both Israel, Iran, US and the whole world understand the consequences of starting a war with another country.

I hate to go back to this but let’s be clear; I am in support of IDF rooting out Hamas terrorist wherever they are, I am simply against their killing of women, children and destroying infrastructures like hospitals. Russians haven’t done a quarter of that in Ukraine since their war started yet the media seem to crucify Russia cos they are on the wrong side of the story.

Until Iran repent and stop sponsoring terrorists to attack Israel, the whole Iran and its government are a designated terrorist group and anywhere their army chiefs or government officials go, they will be eliminated until they get sense and seek for peace.


Instead of Muslims to calm down and go to laboratories to discover the cure to HIV, Cancer, Sickle cell, etc and make the world a better place, they are busy forming all manner of terrorist groups in the name of fighting for Allah. Everything about Muslims is religion, kill, bomb, amputate, disembowel and destroy, Muslims should be so worried about this and have a rethink.


They should continue

All of you ignorant Nigerians are that commenting in support of Israel are only religiously motivated. Anything Israel does is okay but if Arab or Muslim country does it you say it is terrorism. Israel attacked Iranian embassy in a foreign country. This is a gross violation of international law and an act of war. Attack on embassy by a State is an act of war. Don't you people get it?.

Iran has every right to respond. Israel has been looking for war with Iran for decades but Iran has been very matured about it. You all need to rewind Israel's activities under Benjamin Natanyahu in the early 90s. Israel was desperately pushing US to attack Iran and i finally deliberately launched attack directly on Iran embassy which is tantamount to attacking Iran in itself.

In 2009, Israel assassinated Iranian scientist in UAE but Iran did not respond. Israel again has used I..S..I..S and Alkaida proxies to launch attack inside Iran several times but Iran still did not respond bcus Iran is aware of Israel's mission. Now, Israel went further to launch direct attack on Iranian embassy. This was not proxy attack but direct attack from Israel which means an attack on Iran. This is very wrong and what's more wrong is no condemnation from UN or any western powers. Iran has right to defend itself.

Okay. Anything in place of a direct attack on Israel is welcomed.

A deterrence strike by Iran against Israel will do little or no significant damage with US air defences covering the flight space, and loads of AD systems waiting in Israel. On top of that, Israel will have an excuse to attack Iran directly, so what’s the gain?

Peace!

Video said to show commandos rappelling from helicopter onto Portugal-flagged MSC Aries in Gulf of Oman, off Emirati port Fujairah; vessel associated with Eyal Ofer’s Zodiac Group

A video first reported by The Associated Press showed commandos raiding a ship near the Strait of Hormuz by helicopter Saturday, an attack a Mideast defense official attributed to Iran amid wider tensions between Tehran and the West.

The vessel involved is likely the Portuguese-flagged MSC Aries, a container ship associated with London-based Zodiac Maritime. Zodiac Maritime is part of Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer’s Zodiac Group.


Zodiac declined to comment and referred questions to MSC, which did not immediately respond.

The MSC Aries had been last located off Dubai heading toward the Strait of Hormuz on Friday. The ship had turned off its tracking data, which has been common for Israeli-affiliated ships moving through the region.

The video — not released by the news agency — showed the attack earlier reported by the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations. It described the vessel as being “seized by regional authorities” in the Gulf of Oman off the Emirati port city of Fujairah, without elaborating.

The defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, shared the video with the AP

In it, the commandos rappelled down onto a stack of containers sitting on the deck of the vessel.

A crew member on the ship could be heard saying: “Don’t come out.” The crew mate then tells his colleagues to go to the ship’s bridge as more commandos come down on the deck. One commando can be seen kneeling above the others to provide them with potential cover fire.

Though the AP could not immediately verify the video, it corresponded to known details of the boarding and the helicopter involved appeared to be one used by Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, which has carried out other ship raids in the past.

The incident comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the West, with Israel bracing for an attack from Tehran after an April 1 strike on a building in the Iranian embassy compound in the Syrian capital of Damascus, which killed several Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders, including two generals.

Iran did not immediately acknowledge seizing any vessel, nor was there any report carried by state media about the incident. However, Iran since 2019 has engaged in a series of ship seizures and had attacks on vessels attributed to it amid ongoing tensions with the West over its rapidly advancing nuclear program.

The Gulf of Oman is near the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which a fifth of all oil passes. Fujairah, on the United Arab Emirates’ eastern coast, is a main port in the region for ships to take on new oil cargo, pick up supplies or trade out crew.

Since 2019, the waters off Fujairah have seen a series of explosions and hijackings. The US Navy blamed Iran for limpet mine attacks on vessels that damaged tankers.

Sentiment aside, Isreal already declared a war LEGALLY, but attacking a soft spot, such as a consulate. That was one step too many.

Now if Iran choose to retaliate.. and it becomes an all out war, then I guess it is what it is.

Nobody has the immunity to attack another country and not get attacked back.

Iran will respond, how they choose to respond is what we all don’t know. They retaliated against the US during Trump’s regime, I don’t see why they won’t respond to Isreal now.

Common sense, a container ship is not armed
Abs it's private owned, big ships like this are insured, no harm really done.

The thing is your general was killed, and your consulate bombed,
The best you can do is attack a civilian ship

Dose that make sense?
