But do they have to keep adding unnecessary words like lethal to the ships and other things involved in things like this? My shoes are lethal to all the bugs I unknowingly step on, and potentially even lethal to a person if I had the right skills (I don't). It just seems silly.
Sanctioned oil that goes to countries like Iran and Russia. I am not sure which courts but you are free to google it. It’s public information and some were issued years ago.
Okay now I’m really lost. Sanctioned oil that goes to countries like Iran and Russia..? why would Iran and Russia be importing more oil when they’re two of the biggest oil distributors in the world… that makes no sense at all. Can’t find anything online about warrants being issued by any court in the U.S. to seize tanker ships in international waters. It’s almost like that’s just a bunch of bullshit but feel free to link me with a source lmao
Im sure you can find a video explaining all of this better than me man. The channel “what’s up with shipping” has some good videos on this topic if you want more info. Every seizure that the United States has done is legal and honestly common. Our European allies have also seized Russians sanctioned oil tankers transporting oil to and from Russia.
Also a quick google search led me to the US District of Columbia district court judge issued a seizure warrant for M/T skipper on November 26th, 2025.
Just to be clear, I’m not attacking you at all. I re-read my comment and it seemed like I was coming after you but not my intention. This shit just seems real fishy to me. These type of seizures are not common, man. Before the current administration, when has this ever happened? Maybe once in a blue moon even tho I can’t find evidence of it but 5 oil tanker ships being seized in like a month span? I can’t find a single instance of the U.S. seizing oil tankers like that before.
Changing your flag mid course is illegal. We ain’t putting up with the 20% of russias war effort being floated around on ghost ships. Go eat a dik Cyka
Russia needs to worry about half of its country not having toilets. I know Iran is flying in gold to you guys. Where’s Russia gonna dump theirs when the chickens come home to roost! Lmaoooo this is so amazing to watch in real time Cyka
Why
They are sanctioned and carrying illegal cargo so the US military with law enforcement are carrying out warrants issued by Federal Courts
Concur.

I guess but isn’t that just nitpicking compared to the overall situation and impact of the operation?
They probably put words like that in the OPORD as well. It's just silly and unnecessary.
Sanctioned by whom ?
What illegal cargo and what court issues the warrants? First I’m hearing about any of that.

Then yay for the enforcement of the law?
Me too.

To deprive sanctioned countries of illicit funds. Mostly from oil sales.
Drunk with power

Was MSRT a part of this one as well?
So what is the justification for selling the oil? We are just using the military to seize cargo to enrich Trump personally and his cronies.
Not sure why you've been downvoted. Proceeds are going to offshore banks, so the admin, not the treasury can control it.

Exactly, "Pirates of the Carribean".
Economic hitmen working for the man.
The pride must be overwhelming.
