US, UK, France and Germany condemns Iran's increasing nuclear enrichment production.
So trying to understand someone's motives now is "supporting terrorism"?
While I appreciate it may not have been going to Israel, from the Houthi/Palestinian/Irani pov any ship carrying jet fuel through the Red Sea just now might well look dodgy. AFAIK it is unusual for refined oil products to be transported long distances by tanker owing to the dangers involved, and a belligerent party might well consider that refined fuel travelling through the Red Sea could easily be diverted to Israel.
As you know the ship wasn't going to Israel you clearly also know where it was going - maybe you'd like to share that information?
Nearly every ship hit so far has nothing to do with Israel, it would be news worthy if they actually git one that was.
The refinery explosion is just a small accident
How do you think refined products are transported normally, if not by tanker?
Yes supporting terrorism
Back on topic. Netanyahu off on a rant trying to get the US to prevent the axis of evil getting nukes. What a nerve coming from an accused genocidal maniac like him, he is probably the worst person on the planet to have them.
As opposed to the leader of Iran who has overseen a million dead in the wars they have fueled, excluding Gaza
FFS.
Is there any evidence that it was headed for Israel or are you just trying to give the Houthis any excuse you can find?
Here's what the ship's owners say about the cargo:
Ardmore Shipping Corp., which owns and operates the ship, issued a statement to the AP acknowledging the attack.
The ship was carrying a load of jet fuel from Shell MRPL Aviation Fuels & Services Ltd., a joint operation of the oil giant and India’s national oil company. The fuel was heading to either Rotterdam in the Netherlands or Gavle, Sweden, Ardmore Shipping said.

It seems certain individuals want to only blame Israel for the worlds problem
Indeed. Covertly attacking international shipping before gave Iran a certain level of regional (and global) leverage, but the optics were bad as they were caught in the act. Now they do it indirectly via the Houthi's.
It's a pretty hilarious narrative, the Houthi's, who have far, far more pressing concerns, suddenly start wasting their precious and limited missiles and drone tech on obviously random shipping to "help Palestine".
I believe the Houthis are close to a peace deal with Saudi and may in fact have won the war in Yemen.
I guess it gives them kudos with their supporters more than say hezbollah have gained in this conflict.
Houthis will feel the wrath of the US Navy very soon
Looks like the Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and the remainder of Carrier Strike Group 9 (CSG-9) are heading to the region,
It is not remotely unusual for refined products to be transported long distances by tanker, if anything it is the norm.
The vast, vast majority of everything travelling through the Red Sea is going nowhere near Israel.
Well, at least we know their ballistic missiles definitely work
Huge escalation by Iran tonight
Allegedly this is one of the people who died in the attack.
It's unfortunate that his wife died and his children were injured.
And before anyone comments, yes I know I said before I was giving up on Twitter, but in the end I just couldn't resist going back to it.
Pity, he was killed by the fash in Iran.
He was a life long opponent of Iranian imperialism, an advocate for women's rights in a region where they are despised and an unflinching opponent of theocratic control in his society.
I Understand why you don't see him as a loss but those who back human rights, women's rights, Kurdish rights etc will naturally view it differently.
Who are the Fash?
I wonder did he consider human rights before dealing with the Israelis who are openly carrying out a genocidal campaign against the Palestinians.
According to that idiot Bebo
They are seriously playing with fire the US and Israel have been itching for years to have a go at Iran,
Iran can't win this type of war
Another big win for you today.
Nobel laureate and Iranian feminist icon getting more jail time.
The type of fash that jail a woman for opposing the death penalty in general, against it for gays etc, a woman who called out the govt for murdering women for refusing to wear a rag on their head.
The type of fash govt that supports the Hamas,Hezbollah and the houthis, and their dark ages brutality against their own people and others.
Like previous fash administrations. The Iranian regime was close allies with communists early on. That ended with the Communists being put to sleep, when they turned on each other, again.
Iran and it's regional allies and the boot boy activists in the West who love them for killing Jews, putting "manners" on women and pushing back against gays are a threat that must be resolved and fought at whatever cost, or everyone will get river to the sea across the neck, including the lickspittle bootboy activists.
Of course they can't win, but they can do a lot of damage. The question now is will the Americans restrict themselves to destroying the militas in Iraq or launch strikes on Iran directly.
You clearly have me confused for someone else. Please quote a post where I openly support Iran?
Merely reposting what I saw on Twitter is not me showing support for one particular cause or nation. I follow lots of different accounts, both left and right, as I like to see a broad range of opinions and make my own decision on what to believe.
Oh, and you do realise this isn't Twitter, you're not limited to a certain character count. You can use the word fascist.
US calls Iran's strikes as imprecise.
From 1200Km away
Yeah it's easy enough to launch a rocket, it's not so easy to actually hit a specific target with a rocket
That was the target
A random building
Well if it was a mossad facility, the Israelis and Americans are hardly going to admit that it was a successful strike. Let's see what the likes of the Washington Post say about it in the coming days . I see the Iranians also struck ISIS targets in Syria.
Like that a secret NATO bunker was bombed in Syria killing hundreds of US , British, French, German special forces soldiers,
Turkey also hit Iraq and occupied Syria last night.
They hit random buildings too. The other side never carry out successful strikes ( from their perspective) It is a bit like a football fan that is unwilling to acknowledge that a rival team might have scored a good goal.
