Iran Takes Tanker
Iran navy says it seized oil tanker off Oman
The state-run IRNA news agency published a story acknowledging the seizure of an oil tanker by Iran’s navy.
Iran has seized a tanker with Iraqi crude destined for Turkey in retaliation for the confiscation last year of the same vessel and its oil by the United States, Iranian state media reported, a move likely to stoke regional tensions.
“The Navy of the Islamic Republic of Iran seized an American oil tanker in the waters of the Gulf of Oman in accordance with a court order,” the state-run IRNA news agency said.
“After the theft of Iranian oil by the United States last year, St Nikolas tanker was seized by Iran’s Navy”, the navy said, as cited by the Iranian news agency Fars.
The seizure comes after weeks of attacks by Yemen’s Iranian-aligned Houthis on vessels in the Red Sea. The Houthi rebels say they are carrying out the attacks in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza amid Israel’s assault on the territory.

The British maritime security firm Ambrey said the incident began at about 7:30am (03:30 GMT) when several armed men boarded the Marshall Islands-flagged St Nikolas, around 50 nautical miles east of Sohar in Oman, and then headed towards Bandar-e-Jask in Iran.
Except the vessel is Marshall Islands-flagged not US, and the oil was intended for Turkey. I am filled with confidence in our National Command Authority to swifty deal with this act of piracy as soon as the SECDEF decides to return to work. Thanks to Mick for the head’s up.

Is this the prophesy?
Lack of ass-kickin’ toward the Houthis has emboldened the source of these days’ troubles.

“…a move likely to stoke regional tensions.” Yawn. Here’s a novel thought…If it was Turkish Oil, let the Turks slap the Ass-a-holas around. Since this is basically a repeat of what we’ve be seeing, non stop, since about 1979, I think I’ll go back to doing what I was doing… It will never end until the last two (2) Middle Easterners kill one another with a rock. That’s what started the “regional tensions”.
That would be some hilarity if Turkey b**** slapped Iran. I don’t think it would happen, but it would be funny as s***.
Lloyd Austin is on top of this…
Well he sure isn’t on his bottom. I wish the man a speedy recovery and I hope he finds employment doing something that he can be successful at, soon.
I hear that Brucie’s Bath House is always looking for help. He can do some Apprentice Towel Fluffing until his rear entrance is available for work.

The unmitigated balls on these dudes is insane. Why aren’t they scared of real world repercussions? Our handling of Iran through both parties for decades has been a failure. McCain might have been on to something with “bomb, bomb, bomb” till he wiffed and called it a joke.
They do because we don’t do anything to them, easy concept. We don’t want to get involved in something we won’t finish anyway. Our track record of finishing what we start is not good.
Yeah, my question was more rhetorical.
It is not complicated. They keep doing this stuff because they have yet to be seriously beaten down. Just like American liberals, if no one seriously opposes and hurts them, they keep doing stupid stuff.
For the same reason illegal aliens will continue to deal drugs in San Francisco with impunity. There’s little risk for major reward.

After being waken up and somewhat lucid sleepy joe said I don’t want to run or get tanked. Yea I’m sure he will be right on it. SEDEF got an asshole transplant…the asshole rejected him.
Finally, we’re whuppin’ Houthi ass:

Fill up your fuel tanks.
Hormuz could get hotter.
Iran will f*ck sh*t up just because it make our lives harder.
France, of course, refused to sign statement supporting the strike but also condemned Houthi attacks on shipping in order to have it both ways as much as possible:

More Houthi ass-kickin’ may be needed, too:

Houthis continue to talk sh*t:
It looks like the kicking started in the other direction:
US carries out airstrikes against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen (CNN link, sorry not sorry)
I don’t really care about this whole show but things are getting a little early-to-mid 80s out there.

Also, if the journo a-holes cover one more time for the Xiden regime… ‘The monies aint going to terrorisms…’ BS!
Maybe not directly but Planned Parenthood gets US taxpayer dollars for a shitton of ‘office supplies’.
Ipso facto f u
Thirteen Hundred (1300) years, no, screw that, since the beginning of recorded history these people have either been killing one another and/or anyone else for…reasons. I’m fed up with it all. Gabriel…Blow your horn…let’s open up the Final Seal and get it over with. There will be NO peace until it happens. We, the most despised demographic EVAH (white males), have sacrificed untold barrels of our blood and trillions of $s of our taxes for just more of the same sh*t, different day. And now these murderous pieces of trash from hell have infiltrated every country with whyte pee-pill with the stated purpose of bringing about our death/destruction. Phuque ’em, bring it on you bastards. I may not survive it, but I’ll send a lot of you sumbitches to meet Allah with a pig blood/bacon greased boollitt. YOU mofos will be the 72 virgins. News flash for you rag head…I’ve taken the time and $ to…Prepare! BBQ?
The attached linky gives an idea of what I-Ran was like before the Ass-a-Hollas run off Ol’ Shah (not condoning what THAT POS did either). Unappreciative inbred ingrates. We shoulda done what Patton (and others) wanted to do during WWII, hit Europe FIRST (ht2 CW) and let the knot-Zees wither on the vine in the desert.
See what they swapped for Man Love Thursday and Goat Humping…

I hate it when you hold back like that. You keep it all bottled up inside and it just makes you angry. You don’t want to give yourself an aneurysm.
You should know by now how shy and reserved I am.
Patton on Iran and modern war has already been surmised:
Maybe if the Navy went in and sank every offshore oil platform the Iranians had, that might get them to calm down.

I firmly stand of the principle that my country shouldn’t have to pay for this nor facilitate the furtherance of any hostilities unless it is us who’re threatened*.
*except Thailand. That place should be the 51st state. IYKYK.
In response they have decided to attack Yemen. Makes about as much sense as anything else that bite me does.
Treat the symptom not the disease.
