Iran has seized a United States-owned shipment of crude oil from a Marshall Islands-flagged tanker that was captured by its forces last year, Iranian media reported on March 6.
The Suezmax crude tanker Advantage Sweet, which was carrying the shipment for the U.S. firm Chevron, was seized by Iranian naval forces last April following an alleged collision with an Iranian boat in the Persian Gulf.
The seizure of the oil shipment, roughly estimated at $50 millions, was carried out based on a Tehran court order in favor of Iranian patients of Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a rare skin disease that causes the skin to become very fragile and blister easily.
The patents had filed a lawsuit against the “severe physical and mental harm” caused by the non-provision of Swedish-made medicine, which is said to be caused by U.S. sanctions according to the lawsuit.
It’s worth noting that a cargo of Iranian oil was unloaded off the coast of Texas from the Suez Rajan, a Marshall Islands-flagged tanker seized by the U.S. last August. This same tanker, under the name of St Nikolas, was seized in the Gulf of Oman by Iranian naval forces earlier this year following a court order.
The Persian Gulf and nearby waters witnessed in recent years a series of ship seizures by Iran. U.S. attempts to enforce sanctions on Iran provoked many of these seizures, which were more of a reaction by Tehran.
amerikan feminized immoral weak
like i said, the us haven’t stole anything from iran really… they at times pay even higher.
like it is crazy to think the us just let iran ships go freely (in zionists and yanquis heads)… the reality is if they attack or steal from iran they hit the us right back.
also, ukraine war is dead. “victoria nuland, secretary of state for political affairs of the united states (third highest ranking american diplomat) has resigned”
the ukraine war is here forever. you can thank miss vicky for that, and she’s not the only us “official” who made money off any war in the world. the us has actually been instrumental in setting the stage for numerous, often bloody battles, but once these events get going, us officials quietly “tippy-toe” into the background.
a lot of people thinking it would be like afghanistan… it crazy to think that way. the us alone pay over 200b to ukraine… and things from ukraine getting worse and therefore they have to pay way more for ukraine not to fall (if we ignore everything else).
the problem with that way of thinking is… ukraine is fighting russia… the other us proxies were fighting much weaker countries.
iraq had 8 bloody years of war with iran, the us invaded them and created isil… same story with syria – failed regime change – “civil war” – isil. afghanistan never really had peace, one war after another…
the us can’t stay in ukraine for a long time, just remember what marcon said… in order for ukraine to stand for longer they need to send nato troops into ukraine… i don’t believe this war would be that long.
my anuz seized by taliban
aký požičaj taký vráť. sankcie môžu pôsobiť obojstranne. usa bežne zabavovali cudzie plavidlá. tak teraz sa im dostáva vlastnej medicíny.
yes! there is no un sanctions but only a us sanctions so when the us grabs a ship it is called piracy. iran has a right to grab us oil since their was stolen by the us!
magnificent work iran! giving the american terrorist pirates a taste of their own “medicine”!
iran n went dun it…
great work iran, keep seizing enemy ships
another humiliation–fortunately my peasants are all narcotized on tv and fentanyl
it’s good to see world bullies getting a taste of their own medicine. a ship full of medical supplies would come in handy.
guess we amerikan stupid and weak
more of this please. our incompetent us navy embarrases me more then i embarrased my parents when i told them i have daily buttsex with jens holm.
