Iran hints at swap with UK in bid to reduce tensions
[FOXNEWS] Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Wednesday said his country might be willing to release a U.K.-flagged ship if Britannia releases an Iranian oil tanker that the British Royal Navy seized earlier this month.His remarks could create an opening to reduce tensions in the region just as Boris Johnson replaces Theresa May as Britannia’s prime minister. Rouhani insisted Iran  ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan,the abbreviation IRGCis a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA),the term Supreme Guideis a cognate form of either Shahor Führeror maybe both, and they hate does not want tensions to escalate and the U.K. would receive a "proportional response from Iran" if it returned the seized vessel. "We do not seek the continuation of tension with some Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... an countries," Rouhani said in comments carried on his website. "Should they be committed to international frameworks and give up their wrong actions, including what they did in Gibraltar, they will receive a proportional response from Iran." Britannia this week announced plans to develop and deploy a Europe-led "maritime protection mission" to safeguard shipping in the area after Iran's Revolutionary Guard seized the Stena Impero in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday. Any quid pro quo move to swap seized vessels would fall upon the U.K.'s newly-appointed Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab. Posted by: Fred 2019-07-25 |
