"Shakedown" - Indeed!

You know how it goes, respect for others, international relations, amicable relations with others not like yourselves, peaceful cooperation ... etc. All those things that the Iranian theocratic Islamic thugocracy just 'love'! More and more I remember, fondly, the rumored threat by President-elect Reagan to Iran; "What is flat, black and glows in the dark?"

Looks like Iran impounded it because it was leaking (y’know, because they’re so concerned about the environment in the Moslem countries, nearly all of which have been defoliated and in some cases turned into deserts); seems like a real shoot-the-foot maneuver since India has been a very big customer of Iran’s oil, paying them in precious metals to circumvent the currency freeze.
