Maybe everyone is paying attention to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, a little bit ignoring that the whole world is not peaceful, and now there are constant disputes and turmoil. Just as the Russian-Ukrainian conflict was in a stalemate, the two sides were in a decisive battle in Donbas, Middle East has smoke again, and Iran created a major event.
Iranian oil tanker
Not long ago, Greece seized an Iranian oil tanker named "Pegas ". The United States then intervened in the incident and transferred the crude oil on the ship to another oil tanker for delivery to the United States. The reason: the ship was carrying Iranian oil and was confiscated according to US laws. Iran calls its seizure of its goods "an obvious example of piracy", which makes people worry about changes in the situation and the possibility of retaliation. Now Iran is sure to do what he says.
2 tankers seized by Iran
On the morning of May 28, Iran woke up at a night of bad news. Iran began to take revenge on the United States and Iran's ship detention operations. On May 27, Iran raided two Greek tankers. According to relevant statements, Iran seized two Greek tankers on the grounds that they violated regulations in the waters of the Gulf.
The Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs said an Iranian helicopter landed on the Greek flag-flying vessel "Delta Sea God" when the ship was sailing international waters 22 nautical miles off the coast of Iran, with two Greek citizens in the crew. Another Greek flag-flying "Calm Warrior" was also seized.
Iran is very serious about taking action
Greece believes that this behavior violates International Law , has notified its allies and complained to the Iranian ambassador to Athens. It is understood that these are two large tankers with 100,000 tons of oil, each carrying 100,000 tons of oil, which has now been detained by Iran, and this incident shows. Iranian is not a vegetarian, and will never suffer any loss. I have cracked down on US military bases before, but now the detention of Greek oil tankers is really nothing.
This time Iran has a reason. Originally, after encountering technical problems and bad weather, the oil tanker "Pegas " sought refuge on the Greek coast, but was instead bullied by Greece. The United States took the opportunity to transport the oil on the ship away. This was lawless piracy. Since the United States and Greece are unreasonable, there is no need for Iran to abide by any rules and can also deal with pirates. It is not the first time. The UK detained an Iranian tanker last time, and the consequence was that the British tanker was detained, which was very familiar.
Iran did beautifully
Now can only be said that Iran did beautifully! This is to use the way of others and to treat others. Since the United States can use its own domestic law as an excuse to illegally seize other people's assets worldwide. Now that Iran's oil tankers are detained, Iran can completely use the same means to seize the relevant ships.
Since Greece dares to vent its anger with the United States, it will bear the consequences that will be exposed. So Iran retaliated against two large Greek tankers, a very bold move, which is challenging the United States, not to mention that the oil transported by these two tankers may be transported to the United States, which is equivalent to detaining American oil. It means to demonstrate to the United States. There is a fifth fleet of the US military in Persian Gulf , and there is no countermeasure to this kickback ship.
Even if this oil is not shipped to the United States, it is enough to have a huge impact. This time it was the Americans' turn to be anxious. This matter is not just the problem of the detention of two tankers, nor is it a crime committed under the eyes of the US military. It is the impact of the incident. Iran retaliatedly seized two large Greek tankers, showing a tough attitude and no intention of giving up.
Iran has control over the Persian Gulf
Iran has threatened that there are 17 Greek ships in the Persian Gulf, "If Greece continues to play tricks, it may be continually seized." It is intended to make things bigger. More importantly, the incident happened in the Persian Gulf waters, which is the most important oil export site in the world, and Iran guards the entrance to the Persian Gulf. If the situation escalates due to the tanker seizure, the Persian Gulf will become a battlefield, causing trouble for the world's oil supply.
If this matter is not handled well, it may cause great trouble and become an important factor in the rise in global crude oil prices. It can be said that the United States shot itself in the foot. Now the tight oil supply has become a concern for people. If something happens to the Persian Gulf, it will add fuel to the fire, which will only allow oil prices to continue to rise, which will have a great impact on the United States. inflation will be out of control.
The United States can almost say that it takes advantage of small gains and suffers a big loss! Iran is not afraid of fighting now, so does the United States dare to fight? How to deal with this incident depends entirely on how the United States performs. Should it be tough to the end or admit defeat?
