    Iran released footage of the tanker. I love to know who was onboard the ship, any foreign nationals?

    It seems to be a large ship and not a huge oil tanker. It can carry oil, but not a tanker the size we have seen recently.

    It's a tanker carrying over a million barrels of oil ,
    Not all tankers are super sized ,
    Iran Said it was smuggling said oil to foreign countries ,

    For all you know the UAE are keeping quiet working diplomatic relations to get the tanker released

    The above post define foreigners most ships crews are usually mixed nationalities

    But add the claims of they towed the ship due to it suffering technical issues

    Looks too small to carry a million barrels, likely be lower then that.

    Smuggling oil from where?

    Its possible UAE is keeping quiet for diplomatic reasons.

    No idea where or why they were smuggling oil from states that export oil ,or why Iranian courts believe they have jurisdiction .

    Dangerous game they are playing - sooner or later they will get a reaction they won't like

    The warmongers can take their jerking hands off their mickeys now!

    It appears to be only an internal Iranian matter...seems the tanker was buying oil from unauthorised Iranian sellers.

    Trump may have ordered it. Reckless if the Captain did on his own. You can start a war doing this.

    It interesting development and Iran reaction to this we have to watch. US claiming they ordered theoperators of the drone to stand down, but i bet Iran will have a different account of events.

    Yes it's called doing his or her duty likely the ships operating in the are have no go protective zone around them at all times


    And of course iran will have a different claim of what happened but it will be different stories from the government, military and religious leaders

    If it was only 1000 yards away...then it must have been only a little one they had bought on Aliexpress.

    Iran has lost a $150 drone.

    It has probably cost America tens of thousands of Dollars to shoot it down :pac:

    USS BOXER is operationing in Iranian border waters. It has every right to fly drones in the sky.

    Trump announcing the shot down the drone. Bolton hoping Iran reacts!

    It not east coast of America the drone was flying. It was flying over waters off the coast of Iran. US hostile sea deployments is causing the tension in the region. We have seen enough of this to know Trump and cronies are trying to box in Iran. The nuclear deal was scrapped by Trump and nobody else, all these moves are hostile acts.

    Because if the drone had to fly that near the ship then it was little more than a toy

    Flying towards a heavily armed vessel in international waters ,
    Maybe they should have sent their revolutionary airforce instead might have scared off the American ship

    Funnily enough all this aggression from the U.S will make the Iranian people all the more determined. Pulling out of this nuclear deal has been a disaster and sends out a message for the future that you cannot trust the Americans.

    What makes it even worse is the economic terror campaign brought onto every single citizen of Iran by the Americans, its just so counter productive.

    If you rewind the news every few years its always America and the lap dogs trying to change the government of countries, or to install puppets. Ordinary yanks don't care unless soldiers are Coming home in body bags. Nowadays they can just arm 'good' rebels and let them do the fighting which reduces the body bags going back home.

    The Iranian people or their supreme religious leaders and the revolutionary guard.


    Because the people of Iran have no say in this zero . cleric's and old generals who support the same ideology the people of Iran don't support either ,do you forget the student protesters who were met with tanks and bullets when they asked for change .

    The Iranian leadership Have being exporting terror for numbers of decades do you think the people of Iran want that either

    Will you stop. The golden Boys of Saudi Arabia are responsible for more destruction in the west then any other country in the world.

    But that's OK because the are our allies and buy our weapons.

    Care to explain more about this exporting terror? I know another country with a long long list of regime changes/meddling,dubious reasons for starting wars with death tolls in the millions and is just an all round bully....and of course their people have no say in it
