A video first reported by The Associated Press showed commandos raiding a ship near the Strait of Hormuz by helicopter Saturday, an attack a Mideast defense official attributed to Iran amid wider tensions between Tehran and the West.

The vessel involved is likely the Portuguese-flagged MSC Aries, a container ship associated with London-based Zodiac Maritime. Zodiac Maritime is part of Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer’s Zodiac Group.

Well US Oil production under Biden exceeds that of Trump. The problem now is that due to Biden’s feckless foreign policy the US oil supply is used to stabilize world energy markets instead of domestic consumption.

What ships? You’re as bright as the idiot rainbow warriors at the Pentagon. Why on earth would the Iranians use their motorboats to commit suicide when they have hypersonic missiles? Yep, what brain you had is now sunny side up from that western horse shit disinfo you have such a craving for.

Remember, “Joe” can’t open the gas cap on the Corvette. This can all be traced back to the #JihadJunta who are actually in control in DC - Barry Sotero, Valerie Jarrett, Ahmed Brennan, Susan Ricin and their overseers who want to destroy America and us Patriots. The draining of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve was one key element in this strategy. World War III will be fought on these shores. The big question is, will our Armed Forces fight back, or can they?

Designated terrorist by who? What you’re saying is that if China designates Dr No as a terrorist and he resides in Chicago then China is justified in bombing a US city in order to kill him.

If the rag tag Houthis can shut down Red Sea shipping Iran can shut down the Straits of Hormuz.

Once again, for the comprehension impaired, those missiles sites are all known and plotted. They’d be reduced to rubble in about 30 minutes.

One rifle with a scope with a round into the pilot? Whats wrong with these shipping companies? No arms aboard?

I believe maritime law forbids that nowadays.

Maritime law allows for defence of a vessel against unlawful boarding on the high seas.One warning shot. The rest can hit home.

So, you are good with our “allies” (what treaty is that?) bombing diplomatically protected embassies to smithereens with “made in USA” bombs.

Clear. Got it.
