Iran has seized a second tanker, US official says From CNN's Barbara Starr Iran has also seized a second tanker, the Liberian-flagged MV Mesdar, according to a US official. Two more US officials tell CNN that, according to maritime intelligence reports, the indication is the Mesdar has been seized. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced earlier that its navy has captured a British-flagged tanker ‘Stena Impero’ in the Strait of Hormuz. The order of seizure of the two ships isn’t clear at this time.

Hide a remote-controlled nuke on a remote-controlled tanker in the Persian Gulf. Troll the tanker in front of the mullahs. Let them pirate it. Wait until they move it into one of their ports. Detonate the nuke.

End of problem.

If not true then how come so many here say that the end of DJT if he goes to war against Iran? Are they lying? What would be the point of that?

Let them totally control the strait and maybe you will eventually figure it out.....
Of course, you might also take the time to figure out why one should hit https://freerepublic.com/donate/ periodically...it ain’t rocket science...and it adds weight to even not-so-bright conjectures/questions by legitimizing the one making the comment....

You saw that documentary too? No way Butt Naked isn’t a lying huckster taking advantage of the stupidity of his flock. He’s too dumb himself to do a better job hiding it than our hucksters.

Your snowflakism has convinced me that you ain’t all there when it comes to looking at the big picture...all you seem to understand is your baser instincts that say something is good or bad w/o the ability to differentiate all the shade of reality between Black and White....oh, and don’t forget... https://freerepublic.com/donate/
Nice try at a diversion from that uncomfortable fact - huff and puff like a dem who wants to divert one’s attention from their own baseness and lack of personal responsibility.
Troll....
