I can see y’all are a pretty dogmatic bunch, so I’ll keep it brief.
The US is (illegally) seizing tankers carrying Venezuelan oil to market, off the coast of Venezuela.
Post title “taste of their own medicine”, tweet mentions “US-linked” (whatever that means is doing a lot of heavy lifting) tankers.
Put them together and it means that Iran is seizing American (linked?) oil tankers (wtf??) off the coast of Iran, to… steal back the oil… that they sold to… someone using US-linked oil tankers?
<looks_inside>
It’s Iranians smuggling cheap diesel out of Iran to sell in foreign currency and convert back to rial (my guess) for big profits. Or just buy stuff in foreign currency, who knows. Anyway, their navy caught them. This is really not any kind of liberation success story, just internal policing in Iran.
I get it though and I’m with you, I’d love to see some justice for, not even historical, but even for just the international law violations the US is committing today, that would be enough. But this ain’t it buddy.
It would help if you have a source. Though in fairness, the OP’s only source posted is a tweet, so that isn’t great as a source either. Not sure what you mean by dogmatic though.
