"Now interception is becoming a risk": the US press on the protection of Iranian tankers by the Russian Navy from the British fleet

The British Royal Navy usually "watched" Iranian oil tankers heading for Syria without encountering resistance. However, now, given the protection carried out by the Russian Navy, it is worth weighing all the possible risks of such actions.

This opinion is voiced by the publication USNI News (USA), referring to the recently admitted by the Russian fleet precedent. Last week, the Iranian tanker Samah sailed into the Mediterranean Sea, passing the Suez Canal. After that, the notification system about the position of the vessel and the direction of its movement was turned off. According to the newspaper, after that the tanker headed for Syria under the escort of two Russian ships, including a destroyer.

In the past, Iranian tankers sailing to Syria have been intercepted by the British Royal Navy. The escort of the Russian fleet can be seen as a precautionary step, increasing the political and military risks of any intervention by the Royal Navy or other forces.

- believes USNI News.

The tanker was allegedly escorted by the destroyer Vice-Admiral Kulakov, and the Russian military tanker Akademik Pashin joined them. After the Iranian ship reached the Syrian coast, the Russian Navy held exercises, during which the fight against submarines was practiced. This was "a signal to both allies and potential adversaries that Russia will actively prevent any interference with Iranian supplies."

The Russian navy has hinted that it will be more active in escorting merchant ships in the region. Now interception becomes a risk

- notes the publication.

Well, that's good, you need to show your teeth. I think support, in addition to political dividends, also gives economic profit!
The Naglo-Saxons are pirates by definition, probably the only country that produced notorious cutthroats into Knights.

Wooooot, our navy is finally starting to justify the funds spent on its creation.
Let me remind you that the main task of the fleet is to ensure the protection of merchant ships, trade by sea, as an example - the protection of a caravan, it always pays for itself, and they always did not spare money for its maintenance.

How can I understand? Interception of civilian merchant ships? British scavengers?
It's time to put everyone in my place, without fear of any consequences!

[Shurik70]

In fact, the British do not seize tankers on the high seas, but in the Suez Canal.
And not empty, but with oil.
Why would the bandits need an empty tanker?

Well, in the Strait of Gibraltar, England was already arresting an Iranian tanker with oil.
If the tanker were flooded with oil in Iran and driven through Suez, they could well be arrested there too. Not specifically in the channel itself (such a retention can create a traffic jam that backfires in multibillion-dollar losses), but immediately after the channel has passed. A place that will definitely not pass.

[Viktor.N.Aleksandrov.]

Is it possible that impudence can arrest something in the Suez Canal? Who will let them, Egypt?

Well, now Egypt and Iran seem to have neutral relations.
But not too long ago they were quite hostile.
England may well give a bribe to several officials to delay the solution of the issue, and during this time take the arrested tanker out of the territorial waters of Egypt.

Can you imagine the seizure of a tanker ??? In the Suez Canal ???

Robbery - and robbery on land.
Our Navy takes under protection the Iranian tankers with oil going to Syria, from which the staff are robbing oil pumping. Wild situation. Maybe it's time to hit the hairy-striped paws and neither tankers nor escorts will be needed? Something for a long time in Syria, the columns of oil tankers did not burn.

Sir Drake? Generally, privateering is a slippery topic. It is possible that some were offered a choice: a loop or a royal patent. And one fine day, these newly-minted officers of the Royal Navy, the patent overboard or go to the toilet and let's again nightmare the British.

The TPK of Syria is very bad if oil from Iran goes there ... It seems that Syria has oil on an industrial scale .. I understand that the United States has control over most of the oil production, but still a tanker (alone) is not serious .. Apparently not only the delivery of oil products, but other things were included in this operation ..

You need to understand that the hint is perceived?

[max702]

Yes, the stakes are going up .. And apparently this is the initiative of the naval forces, as in Syria the handsome Aerospace Forces, the MTR, and the landings. so the fleet needs to stir up something .. Their last knight's move led to an epic "overmog" in the form of Kuzi's march to the shores of Syria and a glorious failure thereof .. Let's see what happens this time ..

[TermNachTer]

Crude oil, which is produced in Syria, requires processing, and the taker may have delivered ready-made fuels and lubricants.

[Roman1970_1]

At the best of times, Syria was producing oil for $ 30 million. There is no oil there for industrial scale

Liberals, I do not know, but I will remind you that our fleet is not so hot. The waste of the ships' resource on escorting a barge with oil will lead to the fact that we will have a situation like in the United States - they have a lot of aircraft carriers, but they are all under repair ... And we have one and a half living shipyards ...

Of course, this is not a defenseless tanker for boarding, here they can shoot at the ship "carrying democracy" though on the wings of banal piracy.

Or they can shoot at the burglar.
England traditionally has a powerful navy and air force.
There the Turks shot and the shooter did not work in response

[Interlocutor]

Well. Escorting caravans of merchants. History repeats itself. Like the good old days.

[Undecim]

The tanker was allegedly escorted by the destroyer "Vice-Admiral Kulakov", and the Russian military tanker "Akademik Pashin" joined them.
As always, the newsmaker on the website turned the news over. In the original it sounds like this: "... the Russian Navy ship Akademik Pashin was heading south from the Syrian coast towards Suez. Two ships, probably met on October 14 as the next day they were seen passing by a commercial satellite heading north towards Syria. "
"They were accompanied by a warship, presumably, "Udaloy"-class destroyer "Vice-Admiral Kulakov"
The Americans have long tracked oil supplies from Iran to Syria and believe that the organizer of these supplies is Russia, which serves as the basis for economic sanctions. As the US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control said: "The United States is determined to act in such a way that Iran, Russia and other countries suffer financial losses for their attempts to strengthen the authoritarian rule of Assad, as well as to disrupt the financing of terrorist organizations by the Iranian regime."
Sanctions have already been imposed against two companies from the Russian Federation - Global Vision Group and Promsyreimport - on suspicion of supplying Iranian oil to Syria. Therefore, after the "probable" escort of Iranian tankers, new ones should be expected. In this regard, the delight of the hamsters is completely inappropriate, since the interception of tankers is a completely secondary issue.

[Undecim]

The hamsters are already sweating, minus. Guys, minus, do not minus, you will still get ... sanctions. So your hysteria is completely in vain. Just rip off the hooves.

[Strannik96]

The news was transmitted correctly probably - concerns the date and not the intentions of the ships of the Navy.
And in your translation - by a passing commercial satellite - satellites usually fly by.

At the same time, the Russian Navy ship Akademik Pashin was heading south from Syria in the direction of Suets. Both ships most likely met on October 14, because the next day they were seen together, a satellite flying by, heading north towards Syria

At the same time, the Russian Navy ship Akademik Pashin was heading south from the Syrian Coast towards the Suez. The two most likely ships met on Oct. 14, since the next day they were seen together by a passing commercial satellite, heading north towards Syria.

For whom is robbery on an industrial scale a secondary issue? For Syria or for Iran? Or maybe for Russia, which needs fuel and lubricants to supply its contingent in Syria? Those who deal with these issues are certainly no more stupid than you with your idiotic comments.

[Essex62]

I would add, and do not care about their sanctions. The bullshit is all, they can't live without us. We need an image of the enemy and Uncle Vova helps them a lot in this. Russia has been entrenched in Syria for a long time. Vital region, communication protection a necessity? So what are we talking about, what kind of thread will they trample the tail of the aligarh? So good for your health. Is it not convenient to spin around in this all-bourgeois cauldron, into which they climbed in the 90s, are they choking with sanctions? What is the problem? The fence is higher and we are engaged in our country and not extracting margin. Managers, the last of Chubais, will not understand, they plowed the plot for themselves, there is no reason for the Russians to do it there.
Human values, yeah right now.

"In the past, Iranian tankers sailing to Syria were intercepted by the British Royal Navy."

This is piracy in its purest form. For this, according to international piracy laws, it is necessary to hang all the officers from the pirate ship on the yards. And send the sailors to hard labor for life.
The pirate ship becomes the property of the seizing state.

By such methods, the slave trade with the United States was stopped at one time, and the Russian Empire played a significant role in this noble cause.
If in the USA Black lives matter (the life of blacks (blacks) is important). So the black liquid is also important. Black liquid matter.

But against whom should the sanctions be imposed in this case? Against the Russian Navy? As for the impossibility of interception, I agree, delight is somewhat inappropriate here. From the Strait of Hormuz to the Suez more than 5000 km. If desired, they can intercept this tanker at any of the sites.
