It’s a sanctioned ship but the last port of call was UAE.
Mission objective is to blockade Iranian ports, not do LE operations on all dicey tankers.
Let me correct that headline. “Filthy rich, war mongering vampire children slap and tickle each other with shit tons of money”. There you go, that better.
The ship is US-sanctioned, meaning the US already decided this vessel shouldn’t operate freely, yet couldn’t stop it
It’s owned by a company sanctioned specifically for trading Iranian oil, the exact problem Trump claims to be solving
The ship likely loaded Iranian methanol in the UAE as a workaround so they just found another spot to load exploiting a loophole
Iran already knew ships would exploit the UAE route
14 ships crossed since the US blockade began including some directly from Iranian ports with no US response
Experts say US warships may not even be in the strait, just further out to sea
Not a fan of any of what’s going on but this is ridiculous by any measure.
Should call it the ‚Sail-Straight-Through of Hormuz‘.

They have concepts of a blockade
To be fair, I think it would be more effective to make the blockade quota-based. When X Gulf State ships pass unmolested, we let X Iran-port ships also pass through. But the next time a ship is attacked by Iranian forces, clamp the Gulf shut for them. IE, trying to motivate good behavior rather than just be punitive. If it worked out it would result in easing the global oil shock.
