Iran's IRGC Navy Seizes South Korean-Flagged Tanker In Gulf, Arrests Crew

LINK

Iran has seized a South Korean-flagged vessel off its southern waters apparently in retaliation for South Korea's previous freezing of Iranian assets in South Korean banks based on US-led sanctions.

Tehran has confirmed that on Monday it detained the MT Hankuk Chemi tanker for what official statements called "oil pollution" - a common excuse Iranian officials often given when they take such action.

The Korean vessel was reportedly halted and seized by the elite IRGC Navy while the tanker was en route to the Emirate of Fujairah.

How do you let a giant tanker get seized by a couple camel jockeys with Johnson outboards?

To reference a Bill Hicks routine circa 1991...

“They went from the ‘elite Republican Guard’, to the ‘Republican Guard’, to ‘the Republicans made this shite up about there being guards.’”

Because maritime vessels cannot be armed under international law.

Is this the same elite squad that was harassing US Navy vessels in 20ft center console bay boats last year? Elite, my arse...

SK has had naval vessels sunk by NK, which is the retarded stepchild of the world.

Getting pulled over by the Iranians is only slightly less embarrassing.

Ok, but if they used what they used to “harass” American naval vessels, how would they even get on the ship without being helped on? That tanker is 50 times the size of their biggest boat. It would be like trying to climb on top of a ten story building with a step stool.

That looks like one of the subs from the civil war.

Just shows you the power that a few armed men have against the unarmed.

And why the government wants citizens disarmed
