The United States, together with partners, are considering options for responding to "Iranian piracy"

US Secretary of State E. Blinken made an official statement on the eve that the United States completely blames Iran for the attack on the Japanese tanker Mercer Street. According to the functionary, at the moment the United States, together with Great Britain, Israel and Romania, are considering options for a collective response to the incident in the Arabian Sea.

It should be noted that earlier Israeli Prime Minister N. Bennett made accusations against Iran. A senior politician said Jerusalem has 100% proof of Iranian involvement in the attack on a chemical tanker. According to him, the strike was carried out by means of a UAV and was intended for Israeli targets. However, in the end, the victims were citizens of other states.

Bennett stressed that this act of "Iranian piracy" should not go unnoticed and official Jerusalem expects a harsh reaction from the world community to the aforementioned incident.

Recall that a Japanese cargo ship operated by an Israeli operator was attacked in the Arabian Sea about 280 km off the coast of Oman on the night of July 29. As a result of the attack, citizens of Romania and Great Britain were killed.

The United Kingdom was also quick to blame Iran for the attack, citing its own investigation.

In turn, official Tehran categorically denies any involvement in the attack on the cargo ship. At the same time, Foreign Minister Said Khatibzade stressed that these are not the first groundless accusations against Iran from Israel and its allies.

Oh, oil prices will fly off into the distance. And they need it, the Strait of Hormuz in Iran at a glance. Iran has a lot of options. In a word, Planned Production Works, PPR.

Strait of Hormuz near Iran at a glance

This is how they are preparing for provocations - Iran has begun exporting from a new oil terminal near the port of Jask on the coast of the Gulf of Oman. This was reported by local media outlets. The new terminal will allow tankers to enter the Arabian Sea bypassing the Strait of Hormuz, which is regularly patrolled by US Navy ships. https://neftegaz.ru/news/Trading/690036-iran-zapuskaet-eksport-nefti-iz-novogo-terminala-v-omanskom-zalive/

What you wrote is a geographic absurdity.

The Arabian Sea is part of the Indian Ocean, and no Strait of Hormuz is needed to get there. You just need to know geography and ... sail the Indian Ocean.

And the Strait of Hormuz is used to "fall" into the Persian Gulf.

Moreover, a "terminal" is just a specialized port, not a channel or an absurdly fantastic "portal". He cannot afford

... tankers enter the Arabian Sea bypassing the Strait of Hormuz ...

[Brturin]

Journalists have a lot of things they can write ... "in the North Sea near the borders of Russia", like where is the North Sea and where are the borders, but on the other hand, how many seas can be called northern ... the journalist chose "unfortunate" wording, but the main thing remains Iran export oil from terminals outside the Persian Gulf, how much it will help in a "mess" is a question ...
It is more interesting when the port of Chabahar will start working in the same Gulf of Oman as a point of the North-South corridor bypassing Suez ...

The Persians are good people, and the pirates are the United States and Co., stealing Iranian tankers and Syrian oil. I think on the so-called. collective answer there is no less collective answer!

[Iris]

The Persians are good people, and the pirates are Ayatollah and Co., attacking civilian ships and supplying weapons to terrorists throughout the Middle East. I think on the so-called. Iran's non-involvement, there is sufficient evidence.

[Victor Tsenin]

Not terrorists, but freedom-loving rebel groups. Terrorists are supplied / taught / treated by NATO countries. You probably remember about weapon hubs in Bulgaria and the Czech Republic? Tanker wars were started not by respected Ayatollahs and not by Co, but by a well-known bunch of robbers and invaders.

[Iris]

Not terrorists, but freedom-loving rebel groups

Are you talking about the IRGC and Hezbollah? Ahahahaha!
Great joke ! Thank you, you made my day

[Victor Tsenin]

You are always welcome) Hello IS, HtSh and other henchmen of the invaders;)

[Iris]

Greetings to terrorists - this is not for me. The only curious thing is who do you mean by "invaders".

[grassyknollgunner]

At the same time, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the state Said Khatibzade stressed that this is not the first groundless accusations against Iran from Israel and its allies.

Iranian Foreign Minister is Javad Zarif. Khatibzadeh is the speaker of the Iranian Foreign Ministry.

So put the proof on the table and there are no questions, you can judge Iran, and if this is a search for a reason to attack Iran, that's a completely different story ...

The fact of the matter is that they no longer believe, even though they are not worried about this, but they have become somehow nervous ..,

[Silver bullet]

Colleague , wang. Part one - an informational background is created with grunting satellites (analogous to himataki in Syria, white helmets have already been prepared). Part two - Powerful speech by Linda Thomas-Greenfield in the UN Security Council (K. Powell has already instructed her how to shake a piece of the ship). Part three - someone's intelligence intelligence (chief Attalef, for example) about the preparation of the Persians for the use of nuclear weapons according to the promised. Jump airfields in Georgia (former Soviet Batumi, Tblilisi, etc.) are supposedly taking some squadrons to contain the Russian threat. The Saudis, Qatar are transferring their armed forces to a state of complete BG.
Part four - a donkey loaded with gold (or other buns, do not forget about the multi-million diaspora of Azerbaijanis in Iran) visits the Turks and Azerbaijanis for at least an agreement on assistance or participation in the showdown with the Persians.
Well, and part five (where is it without it) - three aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean (because there is no ice in the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea). "Spear of David" is still practicing strikes on the SAR, but I think there are already flight missions in the territory of the Persians in the combat units.
PS East is a delicate matter, they can come to an agreement (bargain), but if not, then it smells of kerosene. Let's look at the Chinese dragon in this situation, because he is next in the distribution.

[cniza]

All this can be admitted, but there is a lot, but while they are the United States and hedgehog with them in thought, let's see what they think ...

They don't need proof to compost their brains.

Well, yes, the background is appropriate ...

[Rostislav]

So the usual story of penguins and singing-tobacco: "We have evidence, but we will not show it to you."

[cniza]

They can do so, guessing a thankless task, soon everything will become clear ...

[Ross xnumx]

The United States views Iran as a Colorado potato beetle that has flown into their site. However, the situation is diametrically opposite: it was the Americans who climbed into someone else’s garden, they searched someone else’s apartment ... Why don’t they remember how General Qasem Suleimani was killed?
Truth-bearers are shitty.

We play here, we don’t play here, we wrapped the fish here ...

[Iris]

And what are the problems with killing the general? Rocket strike, as it was more convenient. And they did the right thing: what was the point of endangering the task force?

it was the Americans who climbed into someone else's garden, it was they who searched someone else's apartment

What search and in whose apartment? .. Has America invaded Iran ??
As for your metaphor, the Iranian regime is not regarded as a Colorado potato beetle, but as a poisonous snake.

[Walking towards the light]

The Iranian leadership does not need an excuse for unnecessary "showdown" with the US and NATO, from which we can conclude that an attack on a Japanese ship is a typical "false flag operation" that is beneficial for the US and NATO for further pressuring Iran.

[Vladimir Nizhegorodsky]

Well, Iran will also respond to American piracy and provocations.
Iran has already answered.
And there in a circle.

How, the "From Nuland" cannabis cookies that are on the table are acting on the administrative apparatus of the White House ..

Just like in the fable of I.A. Krylov:
"How many times have I seen, take note of it yourself:
When afraid of a coward,
That thinks on that
The whole world looks with his eyes. "

[7 poplar]

as always, they themselves messed up, and they are falling down on Iran, typically mattress covers.

[Iris]

And there is nothing to consider: piracy has to break the back, regardless of citizenship. Moreover, you cannot put up with this if we are talking about piracy. State.
But, of course, for all the confidence in the "Iranian trace", evidence must be presented.
