“US stealing Iranian oil in the Mediterranean when a Russian-flag tanker carrying Iranian crude was recently seized off Greece”

I can’t see how this is not piracy by the US Government. Are we claiming any oil shipped out by Iran is subject to capture by the US?

Iran struck an apparent act of ‘revenge’ last Friday. Greece’s foreign ministry confirmed that the Greek-flagged Delta Poseidon was boarded by Iranian militants via helicopter, later identified in international reports as IRGC operatives. The ministry had called the act “piracy” and a “violent taking over of two Greek-flagged ships.” At least two Greek citizens were detained in that first boarding.

The world's smallest violin is playing just for the Greek pirates.

Starting to get a bit ‘testy’ in the Gulf, thanks to our provocation with Iran. Don’t be surprised if supplies from there start to freeze up, unless this matter is resolved very quickly. Gonna get expensive driving this summer!

This will continue until such seizures are prosecuted for piracy.
