So now, no US citizens on board?
Which story is correct?
I haven’t seen a report claiming US citizens supported by anything other than a Middle Eastern “news” agency.
I’ll go with the other sources, no US citizens.
Thanks
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
I’ll go with no US citizens.
Naaah the boa is a Jesse Ventura thing... And Jesse is still looking for the inside job on 9/11...
“that Marxist muslim in the white house wont do a thing!”

That’s not true. Imam Ob@stard will impose sanctions on Israel, blame Republicans, and offer the Iranians larger bribes to continue their nuke-building program. P*ss be upon him.
The “SMS Seeadler” comes to mind.
This is an act of WAR!!! And our slime ball in the WH will sit on his lazy ass and allow his buddies in Iran to get away with it.
It’s 1979, all over again.
the lessor appears to be a Singapore based trading company.
my ptsd is kicking in, I tell ya...
35 years of this, hearing it, seeing it, all presidents going through this since 1979
not one has gone to war to blast them the way they deserve
and we just had the rescue attempt reunion last weekend, too, I went from so high to just furious today
"Death to America!"
I’m sure this will all work out just fine. After all, Iran is now a good friend of ours.
really miss Andrew Breitbart.
Hi. Do you have a source stating we had plans to nuke Tehran, and the Bomb in the air for weeks? I’ve looked, haven’t found it. Thanks.
I suspect he means that no US flagged ship has been taken. But if it is Marshall Islands flagged, we still have a problem. Hope we don’t get into a big hostage thing. Could this be an Iranian faction that doesn’t want the treaty signed and is creating this provocation at this time? We should be able to figure that one out relatively soon. Some believe that nutjob was one of the original hostage taking leaders back during Carter.
