Ah…so IRAN says….and REPORTED by CNBC. Such reputable sources. Fired upon is different than seized.


I’ll wait for confirmation from MSNBC.

Trump needs to go ahead and bomb these mf'ers now! They keep stringing it along so that the Democrats can win over public opinion and put pressure on Trump to end this war. The Iranian regime, as evil as it has been and still is, is not as much of a threat to the U.S. as is our own evil Democrats.
Democrats in this country are power hungry and will cheat, lie and even kill to regain it. There is no limit to their ruthlessness. They seem to hate our country and our citizens, but when it comes to illegals, criminals, terrorists, etc., they're so sympathetic.. Pathetic is what they really are!

I thought Irans navy was at the bottom of the ocean. So how are they able to seize ships?

No where have I seen the names of the two ships. With the names, it's very easy to go to ship tracking internet sites and locate the precise locations in real time. this is pure propaganda

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Navy said in a statement that it had seized the ships for what it claimed were maritime violations and transferred them to Iranian shores, according to state media. CNBC could not independently verify the claim.


OP should add the word “allegedly” to the title.

The same way I can type out the phrase “Elizabeth Hurley paid me $1 million dollars to bang her.”

(Just because something is said or printed doesn’t mean it’s true.)

Uh-huh. So... what are the names of the ships? What's their home port? Where were they heading from? Where were they headed to? What were they carrying? Has any shipping company -or even another government- confirmed this?

Those are some basic questions the article doesn't even begin to address, but I guess that's part of the "has not been able to independently verify" part. If that's the case, why run the story before it can be verified unless you're just wanting to engage in soft advocacy against Trump?

I’d think we have 24/7 drone surveillance with Hellfire missiles just for this type of situation to blow any IRGC watercraft to hell.

There must not be much to it because the price on oil futures did not jump.

Is it a US flagged ship...... If not then it is someone else's problem.


if shipping companies want US naval protection during incidents like this they need to pay to be US and not Marshall islands, Liberia, or Panama.....all countries without a whitewater navy

MAGA knows this, and further knows that the Dems will end the Filibuster and wreak havoc next year if allowed Congressional power this Fall. While traitors like Thune allow it, all the while professing to stand on some high-minded muh Constitutional platitude. They ignored the ‘29 election corruption and look at what Biden did. Opened the Border and offered unqualified subsidies to the whole world. Irreversible damage with few bloodless options.

We are being sucked into a black hole of systemic dysfunction. That is the Cloward-Piven strategy of “engineered collapse “. And apparently Sen. Thune is a part of it.

Trump knows this. And he knows what will happen to him and his family and team if the Dems use corruption like in Virginia to seize Congress.

Something big is coming.
