Maybe the ship was just part of the payoff from Obama.

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.

“Al Arabiya television said an Iranian “force” seized a US cargo ship in the Gulf on Tuesday and directed it to the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas.

The channel said the force had “opened fire” on the US ship, which had 34 US sailors aboard.”

Fox News has not said anything about it since I turned it on about 20 minutes ago. Its Baltimore 24/7. Iran could be invading Saudi Arabia and they wouldn’t switch off these insane riots.

Rueters says it’s the ‘Maersk Tigris’, which a little quick Googling shows to be an 800’+ container ship, flagged to the Marshall Islands.

One news agency said the ship was from the Maersk Line. That seems to be a Dutch company.
