Iran seizes oil tanker headed for Texas
One AmericaMAR 31 2023
The Iranian regime's seizure of yet another oil tanker while passing through international waters, reinforcing its blatant aggression in the region, is further evidence that Washington's policy of appeasement against Tehran has failed. This latest destabilizing incident should be a wake-up call for the US to finally resume seizing Iranian oil and gas shipments.
In the incident, the oil tanker collided with an Iranian fishing boat, causing several Iranian crew members to go missing and become injured. Rather than assisting, as required by international maritime law, the tanker attempted to flee. What would the US do if the roles had been reversed? Washington's double standards are limitless.
