Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Seizes Container Ship Near Strait of Hormuz
By: Newsmax, 13 April 2024:
Commandos from Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard rappelled down from a helicopter onto an Israeli-affiliated container ship near the Strait of Hormuz and seized the vessel Saturday, the latest in a series of attacks between the two countries.
The Middle East had braced for potential Iranian retaliation over a suspected Israeli strike earlier this month on an Iranian consular building in Syria that killed 12 people, including a senior Guard general who once commanded its expeditionary Quds Force.
The wider Israeli war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip is now 6 months old and is inflaming decades-old tensions across the whole region.
Iran’s state-run IRNA said a special forces unit of the Guard’s navy carried out the attack on the vessel, which other media in the country widely identified as the Portuguese-flagged MSC Aries, a container ship associated with London-based Zodiac Maritime.
Zodiac Maritime is part of Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer’s Zodiac Group. Zodiac declined to comment and referred questions to MSC, which did not immediately respond.
Earlier, a Middle East defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, shared a video of the attack with The Associated Press. In it, the commandos are seen rappelling down onto a stack of containers sitting on the deck of the vessel.
A crew member on the ship can be heard saying: “Don’t come out.” He then tells his colleagues to go to the ship’s bridge as more commandos come down on the deck. One commando can be seen kneeling above the others to provide them potential cover fire.
The video corresponded with known details of the MSC Aries. The helicopter used also appeared to be a Soviet-era Mil Mi-17 helicopter, which both the Guard and the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels of Yemen have used in the past to conduct commando raids on ships.
The British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations described the vessel as being “seized by regional authorities” in the Gulf of Oman off the Emirati port city of Fujairah, without elaborating.
The MSC Aries had been last located off Dubai heading toward the Strait of Hormuz on Friday. The ship had turned off its tracking data, which has been common for Israeli-affiliated ships moving through the region.
Iran since 2019 has engaged in a series of ship seizures and attacks on vessels have been attributed to it amid ongoing tensions with the West over its rapidly advancing nuclear program.

And as you said, Biden and the Democrat Party bear full responsibility for all this.

The ruling class of western civilization bear the full responsibility for this. Biden (the hand up his arse making him move) is using the USA as the bad guy, and that’s been in progress for longer than Biden has even been in politics. You could say our image has been smeared.
Why did the west enrich Islam with oil money when they always knew America had all the oil we could ever use?
Why didn’t the rulers across the pond take the ME land that has so much oil under it? Their history proves they never hesitated to take any valuable land or treasure from any one anywhere. There was no army capable of stopping a united western military determined to take that land. Denying a known mortal enemy called Islam the wealth that would make it so much more powerful was reason enough to take it from them. Even if the land wasn’t taken, the technology and the market should have been denied, but the opposite happened.
Why would the USA ever buy or protect a single drop of ME oil? Why do the Europeans seem to prefer buying ME or Russian energy over ours? Why has there been a massive effort to limit our production and consumption and sale of the oil and natural gas under our feet?

It’s for the very reasons you cite that my blood boils whenever I hear anyone (even Trump, sad to say) call Biden “incompetent.” He is a heartless, soulless criminal psychopath with no morals, no conscience, plenty of mercy to the cruel and absolute cruelty to the merciful.

“He is a heartless, soulless criminal psychopath with no morals, no conscience, plenty of mercy to the cruel and absolute cruelty to the merciful.”
I don’t disagree with that. I never did disagree with that.
He is also an idiot. He is also as close to brain dead as someone can be and still be propped us as the POTUS. He was chosen for the 2020 election because he was the worst possible candidate….to make the steal look more than obvious….as bait. They wanted Trump to stop the steal so they could claim he was the one pulling a coup, and they would have been successful. The fact that Biden is in the WH when we all know he shouldn’t be is proof there were enough traitors in place to make the accusation and even prosecute for it. I think they planned to hang Trump and riot across the nation. Everything was in place for both.
Hillary is a heartless, soulless criminal psychopath with no morals, no conscience, plenty of mercy to the cruel and absolute cruelty to the merciful. They tried to install her.
Biden couldn’t be where his is without a massive network of evil people behind him. Hillary couldn’t have been where she was without a massive network of evil people behind her. Biden and Hilary are reflections of the real rulers behind them.
I’m simply pointing out the size of the beast we’re up against.

The Democrat party went to war against our republic. They didn’t start loving us after they lost anymore that their royal masters across the pond started loving us when they lost.
The Democrat party would love it if The People thought all the bad things going on are only because of Biden. Right now Biden is like the detached wigging tail of a lizard.

The U.S. and Israel need to take out Iran and its nuclear plant immediately. Today. In a pre-emptive strike and retaliation for the ship hijacking. But before we do, just send “obama” on a last ditch diplomatic mission under the barrage.

Muslims were attacking the trade ships of the original colonies here before we even became a new nation called the USA. Muslims became pirates in the 7th century, and they never stopped. Piracy = waging jihad.
Carter planted this Iranian nut in 1979, and it’s harvest time.
Biden probably doesn’t even remember to unzip every time he pisses, so he’s not really making any decisions. He’s a freak show. He’s a buffer between us and a higher authority that has long controlled us and many other nations for a very long time.
Our enemy sets their enemies against each other.
I’m probably wasting my time again…

Good for Iran. Israel violates international law left and right, slaughters civilians, attacks consulates, assassinates leaders. Time for this rogue state to face some justice.

Maybe Biden will give Iran another $10 billion to release the ships.
