The cargo was safely sealed from the crew.

The pirates entered the hazardous containers to check out the booty.

TLR, probably not nuclear, but biological. If it was radiological the sats would have picked it up and it would have leaked (the news) out. My guess.

Where is the U.N. to police this kind of crap???????????

Don't ask that question. The UN will want the US to take on this responsibility. Let each country look out for its own vessels.

So..where is the ship now? In Iranian hands? I thought the US had ships surrounding the vessel? I sure hope the US knows what was on the ship at least.

Why is America the worlds policeman?
Cause the U.N. is an ineffective, socialist, worthless group of nothing but a waste of MY MONEY.

The Iranians have taken the ship back and are on their way, wherever.
I think the U.S. was watching the Ukrainian ship with the tanks onboard. (though hopefully we’re keeping an eye on where the Iranian ship goes too)

Thanks for the info. I sure hope we know what was on that ship and where it is docked.
