Perhaps the ship is named Tonkin Gulf?

Okay, so technically, the Maersk Tigris is a Marshall Island flagged ship.

Are there any US crewmen aboard?

It’s a stall tactic the Administration.....

They were caught off guard trying to stir things up in Baltimore, and now they do not know how to react.

When the Saudi’s are reporting it... You can bet it’s happening.

A while back someone conjectured that if Iran set off a nuke in America that Obama would surrender.

US denies Iran ship seizure report

Iran is not playing along with Hussein's narrative that we are now buddies and has no desire at military dominance or getting nukes, so perhaps another lie to the public is in order?

Sad, but there is very little the Feds say anymore that I believe without multiple confirmations.
