...let's capture or sink Iran's empty oil tankers, one at a time, for each friendly tanker damaged and one extra for our downed drone there for this reason. If nothing else, it'll be a strong incentive for Iran not to offload them.

Obama chose not to stop ISIS exporting Syrian oil to Turkey.

Trump chose to stop Syria from lawfully importing oil its citizens need.

The British are still on the side of Al-Qaeda and Company fighting the Syrian regime because they are hooked into the opposition backing Saudi-UAE axis of money.

How sweet. First they gave Syria’s own oil to ISIS and now Syria can’t have any oil at all. Limeys sure continue their record for being the best friends of Islamic fundamentalists.

I feel geographically challenged. Why is a tanker from Iran going to Syria in the straits? Is it too big to go through the Suez Canal? If so why ship the oil the extra thousands of miles around Africa instead of using a smaller ship?

Let us sell the oil and tanker to get back a tiny portion of the $160 billion Obama-Mess gave away...

[relee]

So the supertanker went around Africa instead of thru the suez canal, was it too big?

[Svartalfiar]

Why is an Iranian tanker going through Gibraltar to get to Syria? Is Iran blocked from Suez? Going all the way around Africa is an amazingly longer trip...

Good catch!

The EU just activated INSTEX.

Why would the UK seize a tanker carrying contraband oil?
