On Thursday, a American oil tanker, previously caught in a regional standoff between Iran and USA, was reportedly boarded by a group of armed individuals off the coast of Oman and appeared to have changed course toward Iran.
Iran’s naval forces on Thursday detained a US oil tanker in the waters of the Gulf of Oman, Iran’s Tasnim news agency reported. According to Tasnim, the tanker was detained by court order.
The vessel was once involved in a dispute with the US Justice Department that saw a million barrels of Iranian crude oil seized.
UKTMO (United Kingdom Marine Trade Operations), which provides warnings to sailors in the Middle East, previously reported of vessel being boarded by 4-5 armed persons who are wearing military style black uniforms with black masks.
The latest escalation in world military affairs, the situation in the Red Sea and Yemen, has the real potential to eclipse both the war in Ukraine and the invasion of Gaza, both in terms of military and economic impact, on a global scale.
The hubris and abject idiocy of US plans to open yet another conflict that they cannot hope to win, and that cannot lead to anything but the destruction of the world economy can only be described as criminally insane.
The choice is between demanding an end to the Gaza humanitarian tragedy or escalating the conflict into a war that will have global consequences.
The USA has already announced its intention to choose the latter. It is a choice for which the American people, if they allow it to happen, will suffer gravely.
The USA and Britain have moved at least 24 combat ships into the seas off the coast of Yemen, ostensibly to protect global shipping lanes. This is a lie.
Yemen has clearly stated that, one, that they are only targeting ships serving Israeli interests, and that all other shipping is under no threat.
And two, that they are willing to cease all military operations against Israeli shipping as soon as Israel stops its attacks on Gaza and the West Bank.
As things stand now, only Israel-linked shipping is at risk, and even that risk can be completely eliminated by the cessation of Israeli attacks on Gaza and the West Bank.
But if the USA attacks Yemen, they will respond, and they do have the capability to sink US Navy ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
And once that happens, the Red Sea becomes an active war zone, and then, all bets are off, along with all shipping in the Red Sea, and 12% of all global trade. Think about it…
The choice is clear – either end the Palestinian tragedy, or unleash a global catastrophe of unimaginable proportions.
The US government has announced its ill-advised decision to choose the latter option.
It is up to all good people in the world, and US citizens in particular, to prevent this global and suicidal miscalculation from taking place, or suffer the consequences.
