Iran has seized a second tanker, US official says From CNN's Barbara Starr Iran has also seized a second tanker, the Liberian-flagged MV Mesdar, according to a US official. Two more US officials tell CNN that, according to maritime intelligence reports, the indication is the Mesdar has been seized. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced earlier that its navy has captured a British-flagged tanker ‘Stena Impero’ in the Strait of Hormuz. The order of seizure of the two ships isn’t clear at this time.

The 12th-ers must be fully in charge in Iran again.

The lunatic fanatics that believe that Armageddon will bring the 12th Imam up from the well and that the world will thereafter be completely under the control of the Shia Muslims.

That is blatant BS though, Britain, which is still part of the EU is still adhering to the deal, this is all about the seizure of the Iranian oil tanker heading for Syria in order to enforce EU sanctions. Why would this have anything to do with Trump and his forfeiture of the deal?

We harvest tissues from aborted babies, and Buck Naked and the Bare Butt Boys were a popular rockabilly band.

Butt Naked's reign of terror in Liberia stopped when he converted to Christianity, and has among other things endeavored to apologize in person to everyone he harmed, and the loved ones of those he killed.

Can you name one of our terrorist who have redeemed themselves half as well? Bill Ayers perhaps? No?

It’s too bad the depleted and worthless British Navy can’t do anything anymore without American help. The Brits need to STFU and stop bashing the President and act like adults.

Why should I care what two Muslim countries do to each other.

Good point.

Yeah, there is that translation issue!

I like the joke about the 72 Virginians.

It would be a shame for Persia to lose their navy again.

We should take out their entire navy. Would take about a day. Send a message to abandon ship or go down with your ship. You have 24 hours.

Looks like time to bring back convoys.

Save time and money. Just take out the Iran navy. They are pirates.

I think that it is time for the RN to do some major ass kicking.

Britain is ruled by Muslims.

They are lucky to still be speaking English. We need to stop bailing them out.

When a nation fails to defend its interests and the interests of its allies, war becomes far more likely. The stalling also allows an enemy axis to build up, leading to a much larger war. So the self-misnamed “paleocons” (lefties) love large wars and never tire of seeing their fascist foreign friends thrashed again.

Yep, Britain is now a Muslim country. Let them deal with it.

But. Maybe help Liberia.
