Will post more as it comes. Better keep an eye on foreign news sources, if true the US media has no incentive to cover this.

So in other words, the reason Obama’s mouthpieces gave for the U.S. warships going there was for a purpose they weren’t even allowed to accomplish?

Another 400 plus days? My first thought was: "Are there even 444 days left in the obama occupation?"

TEHRAN (FNA)- A US cargo ship with 34 crew was stopped and seized by Iranian Navy warships on Tuesday.
URGENT: US Ship Seized by Iranian Warships
The Iranian Navy has confiscated the American trade vessel with all its 34 crew for trespassing on Iran’s territorial waters in the Persian Gulf.
An Iranian warship is now taking the American vessel to Iran’s Southern port city of Bandar Abbas in the Persian Gulf.
There has been no official confirmation of the seizure yet.
