Iran seizes another cargo ship heading to the UAE

Iran continues to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, significantly expanding its zone of control. Today, the Iranians detained another cargo ship en route to the United Arab Emirates, according to the Royal Dutch Shell Operations Center. fleet UK Managing Directorate in Dubai (UKMTO).

According to the British, "unknown individuals" hijacked the vessel off the coast of the UAE and headed for Iran. The hijacking occurred approximately 60-70 km northeast of Fujairah, i.e., outside the Strait of Hormuz, but within the "control zone" Iran had established for itself several days earlier.



The vessel was hijacked by unauthorized persons while at anchor and is currently heading towards Iranian territorial waters.

Meanwhile, Chinese vessels have begun to transit freely through the Strait of Hormuz, but with the consent of Iran. Tehran has authorized the passage of Chinese cargo ships and tankers through Hormuz; over the past 24 hours, more than 30 Beijing-linked vessels have passed through the strait without incident. Tehran reportedly approved the "limited transit" at the request of Chinese officials. The vessels are transiting the strait in accordance with an Iranian-controlled "navigation protocol."

Tehran has confirmed the passage of Chinese ships through Hormuz, a decision made based on the "deep ties" and "strategic partnership" between Iran and China. Otherwise, the blockade of the strait remains, a dual one: Iranian and American.

      hi This means a competent strategic approach to war with enemies.
      The red-haired pedophile from Washington and the Zionist Bibi understand only the language of force; there should be no other approach for the Zionists and Anglo-Saxons in all actions of the IRI.

    During his visit to China, Trump actively urged China to unblock the Strait of Hormuz and persuade Iran to open it fully.

    Iran stated yesterday that, with all due respect to China, it will be guided by its national and Islamic interests in this matter. However, Chinese vessels are allowed through the strait free of charge through established corridors.

    So, for China, the strait is open and it is not Iran's actions that are hindering it, but rather the actions of the United States with the blockade of Iranian ports and the escalation of the tanker war in the region.

    Everyone probably remembers the cult classic film “Pirates for the 20th Century.” During the second episode, the child itself looked into how piracy in the 21st century has turned into a government policy, for pity. And the main gamers sa pak seshite plus nyakoi new characters.

    The ship was captured by unauthorized persons while at anchor and is currently heading towards Iranian territorial waters.
    They would also say that it was seized without authorization. laughing
