2020-09-09 |
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Iranian fuel that was bound for Venezuela![]() and seized by the U.S. last month is reportedly being transferred to Texas and should arrive in the coming days, the Rooters News Agency reported on Tuesday.According to Rooters, at least two Iranian tankers seized by the U.S. authorities will be arriving at a Texas port, amid worsening relations between Washington and Tehran. The report said, citing the shipping data from Refinitiv Eikon, the first fuel cargo from the Liberia-flagged tanker, Euroforce, will arrive in Texas in the next 24 hours. The destination for the seized is the Gulf port of Galveston in southwest Texas. Meanwhile, ...back at the wine tasting, Vince was about to start on his third quart... the second cargo from the Singapore-flagged tanker, Maersk Progress, is expected to arrive on September 19th to Houston, Texas, Eikon data revealed. The seizure of these fuel tankers by the U.S. came after an American court issued an order for the cargoes in a civil forfeiture case. Four Iranian tankers were allegedly seized by partners of the U.S., who have not been disclosed, and transferred to American vessels in order to be transported to Texas. 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 the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA).The term Supreme Guideis a the modern version form of either Duceor Führeror maybe both. They hate has responded to these claims by the U.S. by slamming the allegations as false, stating that the cargo had already been sold and was no longer in the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s possession. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani ...Iran's moderatepresident, which he is, relative to his predecessor, which doesn't mean he's anything but a puppet of the nearest holy man... said these claims made by the U.S. came after they lost the vote at the U.N. Security Council over reimposing the weapons embargo against Tehran. |

#6 Why do we want it? It's not that we want that oil, we want to keep Iran and Venezuela from benefiting from it. Perhaps it can be donated to some country in a desperate position. |

#5 Also the money Venezuela used was proceeds from their drug trade as a narco state in this hemisphere. |

#4 Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world. But the socialists running the country are so corrupt they cannot convert that oil into gasoline and sell it to benefit it's starving people. The income from Venezuela to Iran funds terrorism around the world. Saving lives, including American lives by preventing the financing of terror by Venezuela's inept leadership is one of many reasons why and that is not piracy, it was a court order from a court in the US. |
