+1 for tinfoil, nothing extra for chainmail. Although the visual of the EMP being turned to blue lightning as it is grounded, then passing to ground is fantastic!

Roll once more against lightning , save for half damage and go get yourself a soda.

Do you understand that FARS is an Iranian “news” agency?

I do! LOL...

More authoritative info. Thank you thackney.

IMO, no US citizens on board is, of course, a good thing I take as a given from all the reports, but it is not the biggest concern as to how the Obama Adm is obligated to respond. After all, we have too many instances under our belt affirming that US citizens in distress are not a top priority with the obama adm-—unless, that is, the distressed US citizens generate embarrassing publicity for the obama adm.

The reliably of the info you posted in post 253 is the bigger issue-— and that info appears very reliable...and also confirms other independent sources.

TY

Apparently this was no more than a traffic citation.

Naval units from Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) seized a cargo ship in the Gulf on Tuesday for legal reasons, an IRGC source was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA.

Iran's semi-official Fars news agency earlier said the ship was seized after a court order was issued for its confiscation, referring to what it called financial differences between Iran's Ports and Maritime Organization and the vessel's owner. It did not identify the owner

Yeah that's it just a legal citation.

That report claims “an American cargo vessel” as your link shows. That is false.

The Pentagon said earlier that the Marshall Islands-flagged Maersk Tigris was boarded by Iranian forces in the Gulf.

The Maersk Tigris is managed by Singapore-based Rickmers Ship Management, which is part of Hamburg-based Rickmers Group. A Rickmers Group spokeswoman declined to comment when contacted by Reuters about the vessel.

Marshall Island flagged
Danish owned
Singapore/Germany managed

Shades of the US Embassy kidnappings in Iran under Carter. These two Presidents are the absolute worst!

We should definitely allow these thugs to obtain nuclear weapons, right?

633 days. That’s depressing.

Ha...Obie's just got to crack 444 days and he gets a citation in the Guinness Book of Records.

Yes. But why would the Iranians release their hostages while he’s in office? Will he magically grow a spine at day 445? Or will an Iranian nuke over DC make it moot?
