Thanks for bringing sanity to the hysterics.
The article clearly states the situation and it has nothing to do with terror attacks by Imadamnutjob.

From your link:
Another Dubai analyst said due to political risks many companies were unwilling to extend contracts with Iranian companies.
"I think there are few international rigs operational in Iran despite the many tenders coming out," the analyst said.

Good background info, thank you.
But you're putting a damper on our end-of-the-world festivities!

Great article......
Read this.....
" "It has been brought to the anchorage area, three miles off Sharjah."
So the Iranian threat is not to Romania, but to the UAE." Quit screwing around in Lebanon by opposing us or you will have big problems." That's the message and the reason.

I still do not understand the issue...who owns the rig? where was it located (whose waters) and why grab other peoples property??

Hmmm. Looks like your article is saying this is the SECOND rig the Iranians have stolen (with personnel)!
