I am ok with tankers, owned by Russian oligarchs, that carry oil funding terrorist organizations and operations being seized. Especially when sailing under a false flag.
Everything isn’t black and white, it’s ok to step outside echo chambers and research topics. We need more people to do it.

Tanker was sailing under a false flag. So any country can seize it as per UN treaties that apply to maritime law in international waters.

Any nation can seize a ship sailing under under a false flag. UNCLOS allows it under the classification of a stateless vessel.

Travel under a false flag of registration. A major violation of international maritime law. It has no legal protection, the crew has no rights and any state can enact their law upon it.

It was sailing under a false flag. Flying a Guyana flag, their maritime administration said it wasn’t registered with them. It’s part of the Iranian shadow fleet, for what that matters.

That tanker was sanctioned in 2022 by the Treasury Department under Biden. It’s connected to Hezbollah and the Quds force.

Only option. Military coup.
Please be serious. In 4 years trump will pardon himself and associates. Then we will be on to the next debacle on the never-ending slide.
