Iran says it has warned US against seizing oil tanker
2019-08-20
[DAWN] Tehran said on Monday that it has warned Washington against making another attempt to seize an Iranian tanker that has departed Gibraltar despite a United States bid to have it detained.

"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 spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
has given necessary warnings to American officials through its official channels [...] not to make such a mistake because it would have grave consequences," Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Abbas Mousavi told a news conference.

Iran had been locked in a high-seas standoff with US ally Britannia since Royal Marines seized the tanker off the coast of UK territory Gibraltar on July 4 on suspicion it was shipping oil to Syria in breach of EU sanctions.

#3  They're completely nuts. I understand the men shave their entire bodies before suicide missions so they won't offend their 72 virgins in jannah. Not sure about the women.

#2  They peddle the belief that the "Hidden Iman" will appear and everyone will die and go to hell except the Shiites who practice the "proper beliefs" Considering the inbreeding and boredom of most of the young males it is an easy sell.
