The US Navy’s Fifth Fleet has announced that early Wednesday Iranian naval vessels attempted to seize two oil tankers near the Strait of Hormuz, which included firing shots at one of them.
The US Navy said it responded and prevented the seizures. “The Iranian navy did make attempts to seize commercial tankers lawfully transiting international waters,” Cmdr. Tim Hawkins, spokesman for the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet, confirmed in a statement. “The U.S. Navy responded immediately and prevented those seizures.”

Maybe it’s the oil the uSA has been stealing from Syria.
A likely story. Anything to get the war started. Wesley Clark anyone? Referring to General Clark days after 9/11 when he was told of the 7 or so countries the deep state was going to take over, one being Iran. Why? Asked General C., we don’t know replied those in the pentagon.
If the Navy didn’t sink the Iranian pirate ships then the response was pointless….they’ll just try again.
