I don’t understand why both the Somalian and Iranian coasts are not boat free zones.
Agreed.
I’ve long believed that if the boats of Somali pirates were destroyed and the crews were killed, people back home would be thinking “Oh, this isn’t as easy as we thought it’d be” and would knock it off.
The ships were tankers.
“As the narrowest point of the Strait of Hormuz is twenty-one nautical miles, all vessels passing through the Strait must traverse the territorial waters of Iran and Oman”
We need trade. I find the most interesting part of this or any similar story is how it is NOT covered by the lame stream media.
We have a NAVY because of the Barbary Pirates... Same people, different era.
