Inching Toward Conflict: US Navy To Escort Cargo Ships In Persian Gulf; Iran Refuses To Back Down
Stocks took a nasty fall on Tuesday when Al Arabiya erroneously reported that Iran had captured a cargo ship with a crew of Americans on board. It also sent oil surging. Things promptly normalized when it was revealed that the "confiscated" ship was merely one with a Marshall Island flag, at which point its fate was quickly forgotten (it may still be held by Iran, or not). But one thing is certain: both Iran and the US are itching for a provocation, whether a direct one or the far more traditional false flag type.
Earlier today, Iran's Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said that presence of the 34th fleet of the Iranian Navy in the Gulf of Aden is in accordance with international law to protect Iranian trade vessels against pirates.
Quoted by Iran's IRNA news agency, Sayyari, who was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a ceremony to mark the National Teacher's Day, said that the Iranian Navy has maintained a continuous presence in the Gulf of Aden, Bab el-Mandeb Strait and western India since 2008 Sayyari
He added that claims that Iranian warships have been warned and that they have left this region are not correct.
The Navy commander reiterated that the Iranian fleet does not enter territorial waters of other countries and is only present in international waters to ensure security for Iranian trade vessels.
Sayyari said that the 34th fleet of the Iranian Navy has also helped other countries in protecting their ships against pirates.
A laughable excuse of course, but no less laughable than the one provided by the US navy offered ten days ago when we learned that a US Navi aircraft carrier and a warship are being dispatched to intercept Iranian weapons shipment to Yemeni rebels.
And, as expected, moments ago there was yet another step up in the Persian Gulf naval escalation when CNN reported that the U.S. Navy will escort U.S.-flagged cargo ships through Strait of Hormuz in wake of Iran seizure this week, a US official says. Specifically, the Navy will henceforth accompany ships on concern that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard may seize them, CNN’s Jim Sciutto says in Twitter post, citing CNN’s Barbara Starr.
As a reminder the Straits of Hormuz is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, one which is transited by 35% of all seaborne traded oil.
This takes place just a day after the Pentagon said that the U.S. would "be able to respond" if necessary to help a Marshall Islands-flagged ship that was diverted, and boarded, a day earlier by Iran -- though it remains unclear how far the U.S. Navy might be willing to go if the tense situation escalates.
Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren said a U.S. guided-missile destroyer, the USS Farragut, is in the area and "keeping an eye on things," and in close enough proximity to the ship that they "will be able to respond if a response is required."
When pressed on what kind of incident aboard the ship would elicit a U.S. Navy response, he was vague, saying: "These [U.S. military] assets give commanders options." He said he didn't know "what the possibilities are," and the U.S. government is "in discussions with the Marshall Islands on the way ahead."
It is unclear what happens if either the accompanied cargo ship, or the US Navy warship leaves international waters, and enters Iran territory, which as the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is virtually assured: a strait which as the US Naval update map below shows has become as busy for US traffic as the 405 Freeway during rush hour.

The National Guard is also to protect the USA but those bastards were in Iraq shooting womena and children
I thought everyone knew that the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean and indeed any other oceans, seas, lakes and rivers are all vital to US security and therefore all belong to the US military.
You are thinking of the EPA. They claim jurisdiction over temporary puddles, and all air, inside or out.
How do you see Coast Guard cutters in the area? What map are you reading?
Note however that CVN70 (carrier Carl Vinson) was in the area 2 weeks ago, has left and is now at the Straits of Malacca. Which is another bottleneck for Cargo and Oil ships to/from China, etc. Interesting move by USN.
Maybe I am nutz but isnt the Coast Guard in charge of protecting the US Coast?
Don't you realize that the US .gov considers every drop of water on earth to be its property. You're lucky there isn't a cutter sitting in your above ground pool or in that puddle in your yard from keeping the sprinkler on too long.
Because by U.S. law only the Coast Guard can board ships other than U.S. ships in international waters.
"Barrel? "Strait of Hormuz. Check!"
"Ducks? "Navy ships? Check!"
"Gun and shooters?" "Dancing Mossads? On the way!"

Hmm, lets see.....
Wars started all over the world, money printed out of thin air for years, militarized police, Jade Helm military exercise on U.S. soil, completely corrupt insane "leaders", big banks and wall street too big to jail, middle class being gutted, MSM total propaganda machine, highest incarcaration rate in the world, crumbling infrastructure, every man for themselves, mindless I-phone "walkers", morally bankrupt, spied upon constantly by our various alphabet agencies....
Did I cover most everything?
We are DOOMED!!!!
Iran started global warming. Bomb Iran!
Just an Obama lovers quarrel...how long before missles end up in Cuba?
heading in or out? and would that be US missles pointed towards the US?? It's such a clusterfuck nowadays, everywhere. The US has become such a shit hole spewing it's hideous odor around the globe. Sadly, we are the "Bad" guys.
Man, Fox News is going to be awesome tonight when Oliver North opens his cake hole to tells how bad ass it's going to be when we drop all kinds of hellfire all over the middle east again. I'm going to download the app right now!
Imagine the potential for global peace if we boarded up the USA (military), Tel Aviv and the City of London...although, how would we vent the place from the vile stench inside?
I'm telling you, this shit show stops, and quick like, if Russia, China, and all the rest of the nuclear armed nations, were to state that if war breaks out, Israel gets it "first, and hardest."
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
Sometime in the future, history books are going to look at less than 2% of the world's population based in a speck in the Middle East controlling and destroying the world as the most absurd thing to happen in history. They will also marvel at the backlash that came when the world woke up.
first off, actually Iran has done a good bit to protect shipping from pirates, mostly Somali

You think a largely Jewish owned and controlled media [do any of you troll *dispute* that? or do you just downvote anything that highlights Jewish *power*?] would give them credit?
Second this is just the same old US/Israeli playbook - start a provocation, when the other side defends or prepares to defend itself, spin it as aggression.

How many times can Russian troops "invade" Ukraine?
How many times can the Iranian navy send "vessels" to "capture" ships - that is, police its own territorial waters, and board a ship that strayed too far?
More bullshit posturing from The Anglo-Zionist Global Banking and War Empire and nothing more.
The fucking shame is how many idiots - cnn and fox viewers, arab-hating israel firster xian zios and their ilk - swallow this bullshit.
I hope some of them sign up for the navy.
you'll find out pretty quick that "defending the United States" is not the mission of the US Navy especially.

You're not "serving" your country, you poor, brainwashed fuck.
You're gonna die for your government.

same thing happened in WW1 & 2
https://consortiumnews.com/2015/04/26/shutting-down-debate-about-israel/
"same thing happened in WW1 & 2"
Yup, despite my deep knowledge of history, especially of Europe in the 20th. Century, I just reexamined WW I, but from the point of view of the Balfour Declaration, the Zionist banksters, and Zion.
I have a completely different view now.
WWI was mostly about Zion breaking up the Ottoman empire and ending Turk control of Palestine. By the summer of 1916, the Brits and France had essentially lost WW I. The Zionists then saw a way to leap ahead in their plan to takeover Palestine. They, and their banksters, proposed to the Brits that they would support the Brits in the war and see to it that the US was dragged in, but only in exchange for Brit control and protection in Palestine. Zion also promised the Brits and France control of a defeated Germany's colonies. The Brits also got what they thought were loans, but were really a Zionist yoke. The Brits then signed the Balfour Declaration on November 2, 1917, and then invade Palestine from the recaptured Sinai.
In the mean time, Zion gained control of Russia, and tried to takeover Germany as well, but failed.
As for WWII, it did not start with the Versailles treaty but instead on November 2, 1917, and the the "Stab in the Back" was true. Not that that condones the Nazis, or makes an apology for them, but highlights the anger felt by the German society was based on reality. Further the coals WW I were fanned into the flames of WW II by the Zionist banksters' continuous squeezing of France and Britain for payments on their loans/yoke, which then induced the Brits and France to squeeze Germany that much more--"You can't get blood from a stone, but you certainly can cause a lot of bloodshed."
Regardless, the histories of WW I, WW II, and Israel are not of the variety most of us were indoctrinated with.

bingo...........the british empire, backed by da jew bankers, are responsible for everything.......the real holocaust is how many died under british rule, not how many jews might have died in germany.....

How about strapping Hillary to the yardarm with pasties?
That would send them runnin' and blind their radar to boot!
From henceforth the Bank of International Settlements, the FedRes, and ECB will be required to operate from office on a DC US carrier in the Strait of Hormuz, and/or the Persian Gulf.

Infiltrate Iran with burka wearing transgendered marines!
Hey HOMO. Iranian women don't wear Burkhas, you ignorant son of a bitch.
Oh yeah I forgot only the dutch muslims wear 'em!
Wrong again, they don't wear Burkas., Saudis and Afghanis do.
Suggest you get educated you goddam fucktard.
Ok then only the homo dutchman wear them!
Hilariously, all of it...ahhh the satire of the gallows!

Good info, and an important read. Thanks.
Reminds me of the first time I heard of PNAC's "Rebuilding America's Defenses"declaration for the need for a "new Pearl Harbor." I could not believe that they would be so bold. But that was before I put on my "Roddy Piper Glasses," and could really see what ails us.
They are so psychopathic that they want, need, to claim ownership for their crimes.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
"Put the glasses on! Put 'em on!"
Iran is not backing down? that's bullshit. Iran would have no chance and their ships would be destroyed in minutes. No matter hows suicidally moronic those moohlah's are with a single life, they are not catastrophically moronic to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars for a naval vessel.
US Navy has MORONS running them. Don't underestimate Iran, They are not fucktards like US military.
takes one to know one I suppose.
Persians are not Arabs, asswipe. Americuints are morons , you being a classic example.
I feel sorry for your husband
You're still pissed about your entry level separation?
Some just can't hack it. It's ok, just take another drink....
Yep! Just like the last time Iran attacked another country leading the Zandie Invasion in 1798! I remember it well!

Iran anti homo marriage! Bomb Iran!
Sez Itchy the homo .
I already told you ...I'm spoken for!
Oh yes, thats what your Dad (your buttfucking partner) told me also. I forgot.
You need to find your own BF's!
Shut up! It's because they mistreat women!
Bullshit, have you ever been to Iran? I was there on business twice in 2003. Women run all the stores and tell the men what to do.
You are fucking brainwashed like most Americans.
Women also drive cars in Iran and do NOT wear Burkas. Unlike the Saudis who YOU support ,where women can't drive cars and wear Burkas.
Get educated, Bozo.
Another anal commando.
Nobody loves gay marriage like the USSA.
If that isn't license to invade every oil rich nation on the planet, what is?
The KIKE roaches of Israel attacked a ship bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS. What did the goddam Useless Snakes do? NOt a damn thing even though the IDF murdered an American on the Mavi Marmara.
Hey, I read 3 0r 4 of your comments this afternoon and I'd like to know what you had for lunch.
I had a lovely quiche.
It makes my blood boil to read some of the ignorant Americunt comments here. They believe lots of LIES about Iran.
Very homo lunch!
Homo lunches are very tasty.
You just have to be careful not to get a bone stuck in your throat.
They have to believe those lies.
Their comfortable retirements depend on them being true.
Let the future do its worst. I have a PPK.
So will Nuland have Poroshenko 'false flag' the separatists in Donbas before the EU votes on whether or not to extend the sanctions.
Today Kerry threatened the EU saying if they did not extend the sanctions "there would be a cost."
Iran anti-abortion! Bomb Iran!
Maybe they should just send all those tough child murdering NRA Rambos over to take care of business with their sickening assault weapons and cop killer bullets. Lol, fuck the NRA and fuck the constitution. The constitution gives me constipation.
Perhaps you're a relatively obtuse person?
Must be a 'public servant' and/or LAW ENFORCEMENT (said in a deep and very authoritive voice)
The constitution gives me constipation...yeah it represents "negative liberties" upon those who know better how to direct a willing public. Right?
I see lots of shit for brains Americunts here think Iran are Arabs like Iraqis.
Attack Iran and you will get a surprise.
Shutup, Mr. Hitler.
Hey Americunt, you motherfuckers are worse Nazis than Hitler ever was. Hitler never bombed hospitals like YOU cocksuckers do NOR target women and children which your Jarhead SCUM do in Iraq.
So fuck off you little punkass Nazi cocksucker.
How do you figure the US military consciously 'targeted' women and children in Iraq? And if it is/was true, tell me which Shia/Sunni confederate outfit hasn't.
"bombed hospitals like YOU cocksuckers do NOR target women and children which your Jarhead SCUM do in Iraq"
@DutchBoy - where did you see this?
Numerous stories in 2003-2007 and real videos.
Hey fucktard, The USA has killed well over 10 million INNOCENT people around the globe since 1960.
Grow a fucking brain you son of a crack whore asswipe.
Are you ProLife then? I thought it more like 30 million babies.
I am pro life and pro choice.
I am talking about the 10 miillion innocent people killed by the USA military.
So your position is that the US Gov't shouldn't be fighting wars or even causing wars by resisting the counterparty involved, regardless of the claimed rationale? Absent a military attack upon the shores of the USSA, there isn't a cause of action, I'm assuming?
Just because the US military shot down that Iranian civilian passenger plane killing hundreds, it doesn't mean it couldn't happen again.
Iranians are Persians , you are correct sir ! A very old civilization indeed
Iran is anti-food stamps! Bomb Iran!
You're killing it.....I'm in tears.....

Click-baiting aside, so far this still seems like much ado about nothing:
1. The Iranians pulled in a European cargo ship for a closer look, while it entered their waters.
2. The Dutch/Danish owners need a cover story for what will now be Late Delivery and an unprofitable trip.
3. The owners 'Cry Wolf!' and sucker in the dumb USSA regime to Run Interference for their NATO Partner.
4. The USSA sends in the USN, which is happy to oblige.
5. The MSM.com and Media.alt are happy to cover the event, each with their own spin.
Watch, click and blog away accordingly.
excellent strategy, to expand the arming of ISIS to include anti-ship missiles. I guess General Dynamics was feeling left out
I am sure some of the Americunt trailer trash bastards here would love to see the Useless Snakes destroy yet another beautiful country like Iran.
Hey Bozos watch this video and LEARN something about Iran.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D61uriEGsIM
Most of Iran is mountains and impassable bogs. That makes transportation too expensive. Transportation is necessary for industry and commerce. Iran will never have this because of its topography, which limits affordable transportation. Too expensive to get raw materials in and finished goods out.
The trucks in Iran are an interesting mix of old 1950's US classic trucks and new Chinese stuff.

when .gov was funded by tariff tax (hated by all NWO groupies) nobody said it could not afford a massive military, along came the FED AND THE INCOME TAX (approved by NWO lovers) and bingo world wide military adventurism was possible- nobody hates the FED more then even I do.

And NEVER forget, its the CIA/Mossad that actually did 911 so dumb motherfuckers would HATE muslims.
It seems to worked judging by most of the comments.
dont know if you're a half clever troll here to 'poison the well' or not, dont care, but drop the "kike" shit for fuck's sake.
Not fair, not cool, not interesting, and counter-productive all around.

In his speech at The Chicago Council on Global Affairs’
explains how Washington can maintain its dominance over the planet and also identifies potential enemies of the US.
George Friedman said that the US does not have relations with Europe: “We have relations with Romania, France and so on. There is no Europe with which the USA have any relations”.
“The US control all the oceans of the earth. No one had been able to do so. Therefore, we can interfere around the world, but no one can attack us. The control of the oceans and space is the basis of our power”, said Friedman in Chicago.
“The priority of the USA is to prevent the German capital and German technology to be united with the Russian natural resources and labor, to form an invincible combination”
“Creating a “cordon sanitaire” around to the Russia will eventually allow the US to hold on a leash Germany and all the European Union”

And did you kill any Vietnamese while you were there Dutchboy? I looked at your Army discharge papers you uploaded from another thread....you RE-ENLISTED in the summer of 1968! After the Tet offensive, when everyone but McNamara & LBJ knew we were losing the war. And you claim to have been born in the Netherlands! Why didn't you return there in 1968 instead?
It does explain one thing - what turned you into the biggest foul-mouthed 70 year old asshole poster on ZH.
So John F. Kerry was right...and his portrait hanging in the People's War Museum is not a fiction?

Hey you punk ass coward. I am NOT an expat. I renounced officially last year. Cost me 450 bucks and this year they raised it to 2400 bucks because many more people are renouncing.
Oh, and BTW, I am back in my country of birth. Welcomed with open arms. and they said ''we are sorry you had to partake of the Vietnam war''. The whole world was against that.
You are the coward , afraid to stand up for what is right. Fuck off, you litlte punk ass.
Quit lying.
You were born in a catholic home for unwed mothers and your anger at your failed life caused you to crawl into a bottle. You just wound up in Holland because you passed out in a shipping container on the dock in Newark.

I am not a hero of DaNang and I don't like jackoffs saying''Thank you for your service''. You have a retired officer that can verify my creds? LOL Go for it. I guess you didn't hear about the St. Louis fire years back where a whole shitload of miiltary records got destroyed. I had to go thru a bunch of crap to get my DD214 copy back in 1989
This guy doesn't need records. He'll know who your unit commander was. He's a General Ret. last name Neil Google him. Active in stolen valor activities.
366TFW had many commanders . Better look who was in charge in April 71-April 72
He'S a smart guy - he'll figure it out - so you up for it?
Sure Am, like I said, Go for it.
I will pass all of this along and get back to you - count on it
Sure you will, LOL, Fucking liar.
I Google him but came up with his nickname. ''General Fuckup''.
Better make sure he is still alive. Lots of us have kicked off already, and I am pushing 70.
He's alive and kicking - close friend of family
Why don't you tell the truth? He is your buttfucking buddy.
Tell you what clownboy, Generals take a crap just like anyone else. nothing special. Having flown Heads of State around the world for a couple of years, your Faggot General Neil does not impress me.
General Neil was nothing more than a REMF. All Generals are.
I bet your General pal is like the Colonel in ''American Beauty''.

The Vietnamese bullshit of America. They led the US to believe that because of some piss ant islands in the South China Sea, they are willing to throw over China and Russia for America's help in possessing those islands.
Dump Russia and China whose help was decisive, sine qua non, in their defeat of US.
Ally themselves with the former invader who poured flaming gasoline and other toxic chemicals on the citizens.
And the stupid American diplomats believe that the Vietnamese are practically in their camp
I agree with him. And the US did the same to the Korean and Cambodian and Laotian people before doing it to the Afghans and the Iraqis, and now the Syrians.
The US hasn't been the good guy for a very long time.

By the Iranians.
I am surprised just how timid are the Ayatollahs in the face of a massive bombing by the Family Saud against the Houtis in Yemen. They've blustered a bit, but considering how much death and damage has been wrought, I'm taken aback by their non kinetic response.
They are smart enough to know that USA/Israel would love if Iran stepped in. As long as Iran protects THEIR own borders. They are in the right.
Countries that go outside of their borders to wage wars of aggression always suffer HUGE collective karmic retribution.
Now I know where Ive seen you. You're that crazy skid row bum standing outside the pot boutique looking at the window and screaming at your own reflection....
Ever hear the term ''Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes''??
If the USA troops went into Iran, NONE would come back alive.
Iran is NOT Iraq. They are Persians NOT Arabs.
Oh, and Iran is 3 times the size of Iraq and has lots of mountains.
The USA can't even beat a bunch of goat herders in Afghanistan after 12 years.
Americans should learn you can't beat anyone in THEIR backyard.
You certainly have never read anything posted by me suggesting I'm an idiot who doesn't know the difference between Arabs and Persians. And I agree that the Amerikan Empire failed to learn the lessons of history regarding Afghanistan, not to mention that artificial nation state has no geo-strategic value in the first place.
