Well, now, it's becoming routine: Iranian ship leaves port. Heading into or near the Strait of Hormuz, the rocky gap in the earth near Iran. After disregarding orders to turn around, the ship was boarded from helicopter-born commandos who took over the ship and promptly took custody of the crew and the ship's cargo(oil). This the 2nd ship boarded by and captured by US military commandos.
So, the mullahs and the IRGC leaders have a new snack to chew on over the weekend. Oh, what we going to do, Ali? Send another tanker and lose it, too? doesn't make sense to me or anybody else in the room. Hmmmm.
Maybe we should talk with the Oval; maybe not. Maybe we chance it, and send another shipment out of the Strait, see what they do. They wouldn't do it 3 times or would they. What is Oval thinking now? Who knows. 31 ships have been turned back either leaving or entering Iranian ports. This won't help their oil sales one bit. Maybe some of Iran's customers will put a little pressure on the IRGC leaders since they are running the government now and for years.
Don't hold your breathe on this one.
