Iran’s paramilitary has seized a Marshall Island-flagged oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman, according to the US Navy.

The Navy has identified the vehicle as the Advantage Sweet, with the vessel sending a distress signal at 1.15pm while in international waters.

It has traveled from Kuwait and its last known location was just north of Oman’s capital, Muscat, on Thursday afternoon.

The final destination of the vessel appeared to be Houston, Texas, and it is the fifth vehicle that Iran has unlawfully seized in the last two years.

In a statement, the US Navy said: ‘Iran’s actions are contrary to international law and disruptive to regional security and stability. The Iranian government should immediately release the oil tanker.

‘Iran’s continued harassment of vessels and interference with navigational rights in regional waters are a threat to maritime security and the global economy.’

The vessel’s manager, a Turkish firm, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Iran did not immediately acknowledge the seizure and Iran’s mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

So is the Useless Nations going to say anything about this? Don’t hold your breath waiting

What do you think Biden will do about this?

I see a strongly worded letter in Iran’s future. Perhaps idiot Biden will threaten to not beg as hard for a bad nuclear deal.

OK, I’ll go first… does anyone, in their wildest dreams think Iran would have pulled this crap if Trump was in office? In the first place, there would be no tankers full of OPEC oil headed for the US.
