Iran And War

Can America invade Iran? Yes. Should they? NO! Why bother in the first place? Because the Jews want them to do it. Could the Americans win? Not a chance, apart from extensive nuking. What would the results be? Appalling. Do the Jews know all of this? Of course. Are they fools, rogues or madmen? All three is my answer. Mr. Dyer explains. He is a Canadian naval man of long experience.

Iran Is Right - Saudi Arabia Is Wrong
Zaher Mahruqi tells us that Saudi panders to the West. Saudi gets blamed for American evil. Iran does not. Iran get aggravation. Zionist crazies are inciting war against Iran, which is just one of the problems. Israel is run by War Criminals, who keep committing Crimes against peace but they are protected by American politicians. Their crimes do not matter.

Jews want war, using other people's armies of course.

Attacking Iran: US options
When Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the highest-ranking American officer, was asked recently on NBC’s Meet The Press show whether the United States has a military plan for an attack on Iran, he replied simply: “We do.”

General staffs are supposed to plan for even the most unlikely future contingencies. Right down to the 1930s, for example, the United States maintained and annually updated plans for the invasion of Canada — and the Canadian military made plans to pre-empt the invasion. But what the planning process will have revealed, in this case, is that there is no way for the United States to win a nonnuclear war with Iran.

The US could “win” by dropping hundreds of nuclear weapons on Iran’s military bases, nuclear facilities and industrial centers (i.e. cities) and killing five to 10 million people, but short of that, nothing works. On this we have the word of Richard Clarke, counterterrorism adviser in the White House under three administrations.

In the early 1990s, Clarke revealed in an interview with the New York Times four years ago, the Clinton administration had seriously considered a bombing campaign against Iran, but the military professionals told them not to do it.

“After a long debate, the highest levels of the military could not forecast a way in which things would end favorably for the United States,” he said. The Pentagon’s planners have war-gamed an attack on Iran several times in the past 15 years, and they just can’t make it come out as a US victory.

It’s not the fear of Iranian nuclear weapons that makes the US Joint Chiefs of Staff so reluctant to get involved in a war with Iran. Those weapons don’t exist, and the whole justification for the war would be to make sure that they never do.

The problem is that there’s nothing the US can do to Iran, short of nuking the place, that would really force Tehran to kneel and beg for mercy.

It can bomb Iran’s nuclear sites and military installations to its heart’s content, but everything it destroys can be rebuilt in a few years. And there is no way that the United States could actually invade Iran.

There are some 80 million people in Iran, and although many of them don’t like the present regime they are almost all fervent patriots who would resist a foreign invasion. Iran is a mountainous country, and very big: Four times the size of Iraq. The Iranian Army currently numbers about 450,000 men, slightly smaller than the US Army — but unlike the US Army, it does not have its troops scattered across literally dozens of countries.

If the White House were to propose anything larger than minor military incursions along Iran’s south coast, senior American generals would resign in protest. Without the option of a land war, the only lever the United States would have on Iranian policy is the threat of yet more bombs — but if they aren’t nuclear, then they aren’t very persuasive. Whereas Iran would have lots of options for bringing pressure on the United States.

Just stopping Iran’s own oil exports would drive the oil price sky-high in a tight market: Iran accounts for around seven percent of internationally traded oil. But it could also block another 40 percent of global oil exports just by sinking tankers coming from Iraq, and the Arab Gulf states with its lethal Noor anti-ship missiles.

The Noor anti-ship missile is a locally built version of the Chinese YJ-82. It has a 200-km. (140-mile) range, enough to cover all the major choke points in the Gulf. It flies at twice the speed of sound just meters above the sea’s surface, and it has a tiny radar profile. Its single-shot kill probability has been put as high as 98 percent.

Iran’s mountainous coastline extends along the whole northern side of the Gulf, and these missiles have easily concealed mobile launchers. They would sink tankers with ease, and in a few days insurance rates for tankers planning to enter the Gulf would become prohibitive, effectively shutting down the region’s oil exports completely.

Meanwhile Iran would start supplying modern surface-to-air missiles to the Taleban in Afghanistan, and that would soon shut down the US military effort there. (It was the arrival of US-supplied Stinger missiles in Afghanistan in the late 1980s that drove Russian helicopters from the sky and ultimately doomed the whole Soviet intervention there.)

Iranian ballistic missiles would strike US bases on the southern side of the Gulf, and Iran’s Hezbollah allies in Beirut would start dropping missiles on Israel. The United States would have no options for escalation other than the nuclear one, and pressure on it to stop the war would mount by the day as the world’s industries and transport ground to a halt.

The end would be an embarrassing retreat by the United States, and the definitive establishment of Iran as the dominant power of the Gulf region.

That was the outcome of every war-game the Pentagon played, and Mike Mullen knows it. So there is a plan for an attack on Iran, but he would probably rather resign than put it into action. It is all bluff. It always was.

Israel Lobby Incitement Of War Against Iran
QUOTE
It all started when French President Nicholas Sarkozy was overheard telling Obama, “I cannot bear Netanyahu, he’s a liar.” At that point, in the ADL’s ideal world, Obama would have rushed to the defense of the Israeli leader, insisting on all the wonderful qualities that all Israelis are known to have–honesty, integrity, etc. Instead, Obama replied, “You’re sick of him, but I have to deal with him every day.”..........

The tension between Obama and Netanyahu is nothing new, coming to a peak in May when Obama talked about the 1967 borders and Netanyahu got his ~30 standing ovations in Congress. Since then, the consensus is that Netanyahu won and Obama lost: The construction of settlements continues unabated, Palestine is not in the UN (although it got into UNESCO with the help of France; the Palestinians have pledged not to apply for any more), and Israel and the Israel Lobby in the U.S. are gearing up to promote a war against Iran. There were murmurings that Jews would not contribute to Obama, but, unless this recent flap has legs, that doesn’t seem to be the case........

Jewish money is ultimately the reason why the Israel Lobby is invincible in America......... The Israel Lobby tends to get what it wants. And it very much wants a war with Iran.
UNQUOTE
This is bad news. The Jews have been pushing America to do their dirty work for ages now. They shut up when America was attacking Libya. Now they are back full force. Evil, thy name is Israel.

Jews Trying To Start World War III [ 6 December 2011 ]

The same Neocon hawks who lied us into Iraq are using the ultimate argument-stopper to push war with Iran
We’ve been through this before. As one of the most disastrous wars in our history is coming to an inglorious end, the same neoconservative hawks who dreamed it up are agitating for a new war that would make Iraq look like the invasion of Grenada — and using the ultimate trump card in American politics to silence debate over it.

When hawks begin beating the drums for war in the Middle East, Israel is usually a big reason why. That was true in the run-up to the war in Iraq, and it is doubly true with the current hysteria over Iran. Despite disingenuous claims to the contrary, the only reason the U.S. is even talking about war with Iran is Israel. As the invaluable M.J. Rosenberg, who knows the working of the Israel lobby as only a former card-carrying member can, notes, “It is impossible to find a single politician or journalist advocating war with Iran who is not a Neocon or an AIPAC cutout. (They’re often both.)”

Iran Threatens Oil Sanctions [ 29 December 2011 ]
QUOTE
Iran threatened on Tuesday to stop the flow of oil through the strait of Hormuz if foreign sanctions were imposed on its crude exports because of its [ alleged ] nuclear ambitions. Western tensions with Iran have increased since a report last month by the UN nuclear watchdog saying Tehran appeared to have been working on designing an atomic bomb and may still be pursuing research to that end. Iran strongly denies this and says it is developing nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

Iran has defiantly expanded its nuclear activity despite four rounds of UN sanctions meted out since 2006 over its refusal to suspend sensitive uranium enrichment and open up to UN nuclear inspectors and investigators.

Many diplomats and analysts believe only sanctions targeting Iran's lifeblood oil sector may be painful enough to make it change course, but Russia and China – big trade partners of Tehran – have blocked such a move at the UN. Iran's warning came three weeks after EU foreign ministers decided to tighten sanctions over the UN report and laid out plans for a possible embargo of oil from the world's fifth biggest crude exporter.....

About a third of all sea-borne oil was shipped through the strait of Hormuz in 2009, and US warships patrol the area to ensure safe passage. [ To be fair, they can't - Editor ] Most of the crude exported from Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Iraq must slip through the strait, a four-mile wide shipping channel between Oman and Iran.

Naturally they are nuclear. They can hit any capital in Europe or North America for that matter. The Jews have been telling the Americans to attack Iran, to put the frighteners on all Arabs. The Americans have not been stupid, not quite stupid enough to oblige. Petrol at $50 a gallon would annoy a LOT of voters.

China, the largest buyer of Iranian oil, has rejected the sanctions. “Sanctioning is not the correct approach to easing tensions,” said, Hong Lei, a ministry spokesman. “China opposes the placing of one’s domestic law above international law and imposing unilateral sanctions on other countries.”.......

Americans Starving Iran Into Submission For Israel [ 12 January 2012 ]

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan pledged on Thursday to take concrete action to cut Iranian oil imports in response to an appeal for support from visiting U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, as Washington steps up efforts to sanction Tehran over its disputed nuclear programme.

Geithner welcomed Tokyo's cooperation, an encouraging sign for U.S. foreign policy after China rebuffed U.S. sanctions aimed at starving Iran of the oil revenues that provide the country of 74 million people with a vital economic support. Iran faces the prospects of cutbacks in oil sales to China, Japan and India, its top three buyers who together take more than 40 percent of its crude exports. The European Union, a major buyer, has committed to banning imports of Iranian oil....

China gave no hint on Wednesday of giving ground to U.S. demands to curb Iran's oil revenues, rejecting Washington's sanctions on Tehran as overstepping. Iran is China's third-largest crude supplier.

Obama Speaks Against Illegal War With Iran [ 8 March 2012 ]
QUOTE
At last a leader, Obama fingers ‘Israeli interest’ in war
President Obama's press conference yesterday was bravura. He firmly dismissed the talk of war and exposed Israel's push for war with the kind of comment the lobby hates:

This is not just an issue of Israeli interest; this is an issue of U.S. interests. It's also not just an issue of consequences for Israel if action is taken prematurely. There are consequences to the United States as well.

The lobby hates there being any public daylight between the United States and Israel. Obama was saying openly, there's daylight.

And more than that, he fingered Israel as the only country with an interest in war. The Israelis are surely enraged by this. The onus is on them..........

The question remains, Why did Obama do it? Why after all these years of caving to Netanyahu did Obama grow a spine?

Obama seemed angry to me. He couldn't wait for the Iran question at the press conference, and as he answered it, his face was taut and flushed with emotion. I sensed his rage at AIPAC and at the Republicans for playing political games, blustering. And as Sanam Anderlini and Kate Gould said at Occupy AIPAC on Saturday, we're talking about a possible World War 3.

Mossad Boss Says Bombing Iran Is Crazy [ 14 March 2012 ]

"Bombing Iran now is the stupidest idea I have ever heard"
TRANSCRIPT
......Actually, you’ll hear from one of them tonight: Meir Dagan, former chief of the Mossad, Israel’s equivalent of the CIA. It’s unheard of for someone who held such a high-classified position to speak out publicly, but he told us he felt compelled to talk, because he is so opposed to a pre-emptive Israeli strike against Iran anytime soon. Dagan headed the Mossad for nearly a decade until last year. His primary, if not his only mission was to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear bomb. And he says there is time to wait, perhaps as long as three years.

Lesley Stahl: You have said publicly that bombing Iran now is the stupidest idea you’ve ever heard. That’s a direct quote.

Dagan: An attack on Iran before you are exploring all other approaches is not the right way how to do it..........

Stahl: Has Israel done anything to encourage, help, support the youth opposition groups that have been marching against the regime?

Dagan: Let’s ignore the question. [ In other words: Yes, Subversion is a major policy tool - Editor ]......
He came to Mossad with the Holocaust motto of “never again” on his mind. Soon after, Iranian cargo planes started falling from the sky, nuclear labs were catching fire, centrifuges were malfunctioning. And then, one by one, Iranian nuclear scientists started disappearing and getting killed, blown up by shadowy men on motorcycles. But no matter how hard we tried, whenever we asked about any of this, he stonewalled.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard could exercise its ability to block off a major strait amid intensifying tensions with the US.

The Strait of Hormuz is a conduit between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman which provides the only sea passage from the Persian Gulf to the open ocean.

It's one of the world's most important oil choke points, with 20 per cent of oil [ Only 20%? Try 30% or more - Editor ] traded worldwide moving through the waterway.

The footage published by the U.S. military purports to show Iranian vessels returning to the stricken Japanese-owned tanker Kokuta Courageous and removing an unexploded limpet mine. Iran claimed it had sent a search and rescue team to bring the Kokuta's crew to safety - but America says their real intention was to hide Iranian involvement in the blasts....................

Gunboat Diplomacy Works In Gulf [ 11 July 2019 ]

Three Iranian ships unsuccessfully tried to seize a British oil tanker in the Persian Gulf Wednesday, the UK government has confirmed. Armed vessels from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps tried to capture the British Heritage tanker while it was sailing through the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic bottleneck that sits partially in Iranian waters. Iran's ships reportedly ordered UK vessel British Heritage to divert its course and stop before Royal Navy frigate HMS Montrose, which was escorting the tanker, trained its guns on the Iranian ships and ordered them to back off. The Iranian boats complied without a shot being fired.

Iran has been threatening to seize a British tanker in retaliation after the UK stopped one of its vessels - the Grace 1 - off the coast of Gibraltar last week..... Iran denied that it had attempted to seize the vessel, rebuffing 'claims by American sources.'

Iran Captures British Tanker In The Straits Of Hormuz [ 21 July 2019 ]
QUOTE
A Royal Navy warship raced to help a British oil tanker that was captured by Iran last night but arrived ten minutes too late, a defence source revealed today. HMS Montrose, which was patrolling the Persian Gulf, was forced to do a U-turn when it received orders to assist the UK-flagged Stena Impero, which had been seized by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in the Strait of Hormuz.

The Stena Impero was still in Omani waters when the orders were sent, but by the time HMS Montrose arrived the vessel had been taken and redirected into Iranian territorial waters. It's claimed the Iranians were ready to 'engage' the Type 23 frigate. Iran's seizure of the British ships was a deliberate act of provocation because the ships were in international waters.

The action prompted a late night meeting of the COBRA emergency security committee chaired by Prime Minister Theresa May................

It's thought Iranian authorities seized the British ships in retaliation for the detention of an Iranian vessel by the UK last week. [ Balls, it is blatantly obvious - Editor ] The Grace 1 tanker was captured by UK forces off the coast of Gibraltar on July 4. The Foreign Office claimed the Iranian ship it had violated EU sanctions by carrying a cargo of crude oil destined for Syria.

Abbas Ali Kadkhodaei, a council spokesman, was quoted in the semi-official Fars news agency as saying 'The rule of reciprocal action is well-known in international law.' Kadkhodaei said Iran made the right decision in the face of an 'illegitimate economic war and seizure of oil tankers.'

Why Did We Seize Iran's Tanker In The First Place? [ 22 July 2019 ]

At its narrowest point, the Strait of Hormuz is just 21 miles wide – a thin, U-shaped stretch of water allowing access to the Persian Gulf, but which almost seals it off completely from the wider world. A fifth of all global oil and a third of the world’s liquefied natural gas passes through the strait. And it is amid these busy shipping lanes that the potentially disastrous conflict between Iran and the United States is playing out. Now Britain has been dragged in, too.

On Friday, the Iranians seized a British-flagged Swedish-owned ship, the Stena Impero, diverting it to their own waters on the eastern side of the channel.................

The dangers presented by this latest episode are all too clear, however: they are another step on the road to a crippling world recession if not a catastrophic military confrontation.

The crisis in the Gulf is almost entirely the result of President Trump’s decision to sabotage the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran – a major achievement not just of his predecessor President Obama but five major powers, including the UK, which were fellow signatories. Trump withdrew even though Iran had scrupulously observed the letter of that accord............

The strait has correctly been described as a choke point – and choking is very much what gas and oil producers in the Gulf now face. The IRGC has already [ allegedly ] sabotaged six ships moored in Gulf harbours by attaching mines to their hulls. It used a missile to shoot down one of America’s 35 Global Hawk surveillance drones.

Half of Saudi Arabia's oil production power is feared to be in tatters after Iran-backed militants turned the world's most important refineries into a fireball with a devastating drone strike.

A eye-watering 5million barrels per day of crude production has reportedly been wiped out - virtually half of the kingdom's output which is shipped around the globe.

Infernos raged at the plant in Abqaiq, Bugayg, and the arab country's second largest oilfield in Khurais after mounting tensions between Riyadh and Tehran finally came to a head and Houthi rebels in Yemen fired the flurry of rockets.

A military spokesman for Yemen's Houthi rebels, considered an Iranian proxy force in the region, has claimed responsibility for today's attacks on Abqaiq and Khurais, two major facilities in eastern Saudi Arabia run by state-owned oil giant Aramco.

America is harassing Iran because Zionist crazies want it leaned on. They have been inciting America to make war on Iran for years now. Their story about the Iranians having nukes is blatant nonsense. Are the Puppet Masters willing to start World War III? Yes. Are they paranoid Psychopaths? Yes. Are the Chinese willing to nuke Tel Aviv and Washington if their oil is cut off. It is certainly a major probability, one that the Pentagon is seriously interested in. Donald Trump is pandering to the Jews; he is a fool for his pains. The Chinese are not a bunch of softies; they now have a second Aircraft Carrier.

Americans Kill Iran's Army Chief - Iranians Are Annoyed    [ 4 January 2020 ]
QUOTE
This is the moment Iranian Quds force commander Qassem Soleimani was blown up in a US drone strike at Baghdad airport ordered by President Trump.

CCTV footage filmed close to the airport and shared by Iraqi TV station AhadTV shows a large explosion as one of the two cars was destroyed by precision missiles fired by a Reaper drone early on Friday morning. Soleimani's body was torn to pieces in the attack and a senior politician said his remains could only be identified by the ring he wore on his left hand.................

In the face of Tehran vowing 'crushing revenge' and 'jihad' on America, President Donald Trump boasted today that Soleimani should have been 'taken out many years ago,' accusing him of killing thousands of Americans and claiming the people of Iraq don't want to be 'dominated and controlled' by Iran.
UNQUOTE
This is not one of Donald Trump's better moves. Iran has oil. China and Japan need oil. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, a very important Choke point. A quarter of the world's oil flows through it. Don is trying to starve the Iranians into submission? They can do the same to the world; tit for tat. NB Russia, China And Iran To Hold Naval Exercises Near Straits Of Hormuz and make the point. If Don does decide to start World War III China & Russia have nukes as well. Their targets? Tel Aviv and Washington make a good start. Yes, it is the Jews, the Zionist crazies making trouble again.

Tucker Carlson Says Killing Iranian Thug Was Seriously Bad News [ 5 January 2020 ]
QUOTE
Tucker Carlson, one of Fox News' biggest boosters of President Donald Trump, made an impassioned case against the airstrike that killed Iran’s top military leader, blasting Washington for ignoring "the big picture."

During his Friday night show, "Tucker Carlson Tonight," the host decried the escalation of tensions with Iran sparked by the killing of Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani.

"No one in Washington is in the mood for big-picture questions right now," he lamented. "Questions like: Is Iran really the greatest threat we face? And who's actually benefiting from this? And why are we continuing to ignore the decline of our country in favor of jumping into another pointless quagmire, from which there's no obvious exit?"

A video of the comments was posted on Fox News.
UNQUOTE
Tucker Carlson is the front man for Fox News and thoroughly sensible. He is therefore hated by the Hard Left. Asking what the reasons are makes lotsa sense. Getting into wars is easy. Think of Afghanistan; 19 years and counting. Men are dying because......... He does not know either. One disagreeing is John Bolton, the well known draft dodger who did not go to Viet Nam but wants better men to put their lives on the line.

Royal Navy Moves To War Stations After Americans Attack Iran       [ 5 January 2020 ]
Do we need the problems? No but we have them anyway. The Royal Navy is much weakened by corrupt politicians but it does have a carrier. NB Cameron gave away our Harriers. NB The People's Liberation Army Navy makes the Royal Navy look pathetically small.

Ayatollah's Arsenal A MILLION Troops, Hundreds Of Missile Launchers And A Maritime Guerrilla Force    [ 10 January 2020 ]
The Mail does not mention the support of Russia and China, both nuclear powers. They could both nuke Tel Aviv. That would bring the pains on. It might even keep their wonderful prime minister out of prison. A pre-emptive first strike can do that.

Jews Allege That Iran Was Building Nukes Back In 2002   [ 19 January 2020 ]
QUOTE
A never-seen-before secret Iranian government document proves the regime was trying to build a nuclear weapon as far back as 2002. It shows scientists outlining their proposals for a 'warhead', which are given the green light by Tehran's top nuclear official.

The document was seized as part of a raid by Israeli intelligence agents on a compound in Tehran in 2018, and is now being exclusively revealed to the world by MailOnline. The damning nuclear blueprint forms the centrepiece of a soon-to-be published report by the Friends of Israel Initiative (FOII), a group of foreign policy experts including several former presidents and prime ministers.

As part of a fact-finding mission to the country led by Canada's former foreign minister John Baird, they were given exclusive access to the haul of documents stashed in the Tehran hanger.

This included a piece of paper dated November 28, 2002, which they say is from a 'senior Iranian official requesting the parameters of a warhead fitted on a missile'.

Scribbled in the top left corner is a note from Moshen Fakhrizadeh, Iran's nuclear science chief, who writes: 'In the name of God. Right now in a treatment process. Please archive the original script of the document. Fakhrizadeh.'
UNQUOTE
So Mossad produces a piece of paper with scribbles on it and a story about where it came from. Victor Ostrovsky, one of theirs until he defected explains their evil. Remember their motto: By deception shalt thou make war. Recall too Blair's lies about Iraq's nonexistent WMDs being used as an excuse to make war. And of course, Benjamin Netanyahu, their wonderful prime minister is a pathological liar as well as a thief trying to stay of prison. The Mail's readers seem disposed to believe this story but a substantial majority do not.

American B52s Threaten Iran During Biden's First Week [30 January 2021 ]
QUOTE
For those expecting a sudden de-escalation and mutual olive branches between Iran and the US, with Joe Biden as President, think again. Two B-52H strategic bombers just flew a long range ‘show of force’ mission over the Persian Gulf. This latest sortie continues the long-range deterrence missions aimed at Tehran that began in November.

Iran take note – There may be a new President, but the U.S. military remains the same capable, determined force it has always been.

As; reported by The Drive:

The two B-52s from the 2nd Bomb Wing departed Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, flew over Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, passed over the Persian Gulf near Qatar, then returned to Barksdale nonstop. The Pentagon has publically stated in the past that these types of missions are a means of deterring possible Iranian aggression, as well as signaling support to U.S. allies in the region.

For parts of the sortie, the bombers were accompanied by fighter jets from the Royal Jordanian and Royal Saudi Air Forces, as well as by fighters from the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Nimitz. That supercarrier had been set to begin making its way home last year, but the Pentagon subsequently sent it back to the Middle East amid threats from the regime in Tehran over the U.S. military’s killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani last year, including some directed specifically at then-President Donald Trump.

UNQUOTE
Joe Biden is still senile and the generals are playing it for laughs. Threatening Iran might be fun but the ayatollahs can shut the Straits of Hormuz, thus blocking a quarter or more of the world's oil. This would hurt China, a country with lotsa nukes. They could hit the perpetrators hard, very hard. Wiping out Tel Aviv and Jerusalem would concentrate their minds.

Iran Blocks American Pirates Attacking An Oil Tanker [ 9 November 2021 ]
QUOTE
Iran’s state media has published footage of a major incident in the Gulf of Oman, in which Tehran’s forces said they “foiled” the seizure of an oil tanker by the US as Washington looked to enforce its ban on Iranian oil exports.

On Wednesday, Iranian state media reported that units of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) were forced to respond to an incident in the Gulf of Oman in which American forces attempted to seize the Vietnamese-flagged oil tanker Sothys. The government quickly confirmed the reports, noting that the events had taken place in late October.

Footage released shortly after shows the moment Iranian forces reached the tanker. A helicopter is used to transport IRGC troops to the vessel, while Iran’s famed military speedboats can be seen attempting to block the path of US warships.

On Wednesday, however, the US rejected Iran’s claims as “totally false and untrue.” American officials claim Iran seized the Vietnamese tanker last month and its warships were simply observing the situation. "The only seizing that was done was by Iran," Pentagon Spokesman John Kirby told reporters.

Iran Making Proposals To Stop Jews Attacking Gaza [ 7 March 2024 ]
QUOTE
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The foreign minister of Iran put forward a number of practical proposals for collective action by Muslim nations to mount pressure on the Zionist regime and force it to stop the brutal onslaught on Gaza.

Addressing the extraordinary meeting of the Council of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, held in Jeddah on Tuesday to address the Israeli regime’s aggression against Palestine, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian called for “decisive and effective” action against the illegitimate Zionist regime.

“In the shadow of the unity of the Islamic world, concerted efforts should be made to force the White House and this (Israeli) regime to cease the ongoing war and genocide, and reopen routes for sending humanitarian aid to the Palestinians in Gaza,” he said.
