    I wonder if the U.S. will respond with force, considering they're reportedly close to signing a deal with the Iranians.

    Now it's a Marshall Islands cargo ship and US officials report no Americans onboard. What does this mean?

    It seems the ship left Saudi and was swarmed by 5 Iranian vessels firing warning shots across its bow before been borded outside Iranian waters .
