So Iran now is now attacking countries which are not involved nor taken sides in this conflict. I wonder what their justification will be...

Their logic is to disrupt the oil supply chain to drive the prices up and therefore disrupt the global economy as much as possible, forcing Israel and the US to review their stupid actions.

Yeah, I know. On the other hand, it´s people who are devoted to #metoo or some updates of that garbage. The funny thing is that they can´t understand the biggest contribution to the world that the Muslim population has made, is war, violence, criminality and mayhem wherever they settle down. They go into every single country, and wait until they become enough to the population to segregate in a specific part of the country, or multiple parts in important cities. Muscle their way into every country´s politics. They demand to have their ways and laws in a foreign country.

At the same time, they are sitting in their home countries too, getting indoctrinated by their ayatollahs, that the rest of the world that don´t think like them, act like them and agree with them are the big Satan.

I know this reply will be removed, because speaking the truth is not accepted today. However, there are multiple facts of what I posted above, all over the world, in most countries in the world. So, removing this as racist or anything else, would be wrong! This are documented facts! Nothing to hide!

Or maybe, we just will delete it because other people got their feathers touched, and we can´t have that, can we? Even if it is true, documented facts!

You're Islamophobic, should avoid setting your feet in Malaysia, by the way...

I expect the Thai ship was insured and the owners will just buy another one. As for the oil, that's between the sellers and the buyers.

Whilst not defending the Iranian government, what do you suggest they attack? They've been bombedby Israel and the US

But Trump is the worst egotistical lunatic having nuclear weapons!

At the moment, he’s putting on his finest performance—about as impressive as his IQ allows. Yet somehow, no one dares to question him.

That's why I included the US.

I won't defend the Iranian government, but who, and what do you suggest they attack. They are attacking Israel who have attacked them. They can't reach the US so they bomb US bases and allies.

Their next move could be terrorist attacks in the US. The World Cup might be a target.

Won't be anyone in the stands - who would take a chance to fly their wife and kids to the US for World Cup when they could be detained and jailed for weeks/months at the whim of some idiot US border guard?

The US has apparently discovered a brand-new basement below the lowest grade any living creature could possibly reach — and decided to move in permanently.

As for this Thai registered ship. It just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Examples were needed by the IRGC - to make good on its threat and so all other tanker owners wouldn't dare try to pass through the Strait.

Kick a hornets nest and they will sting anyone in the area. I learned that at age 10. Apparently many so called world leaders have yet to comprehend or care about what actually happens when you get into massive wars without doing a bit of intelligent planning as to what the responses might be.

Bags of cement on behalf of SCG by any chance?

Lloyd's of London stresses it is still insuring shipping in strait of Hormuz. do some research

There were earlier announcements from Lloyd's that they cancelled insurrance .

Do some research, get of your high horse, and more important, get lost idiot.

Tanker rates for very large crude carriers (VLCCs) travelling from the Middle East to China shot up more than 90 percent to $432,000 per day, according to CNBC. Shipping companies are imposing risk surcharges on cargoes, from $1,500 per container. 

Coverage for war risk will expire at midnight on March 5^th, which will require shipowners to renegotiate insurance rates at sky-high levels, Lloyd’s said.

I will continue to vehemently oppose the trump/Project 2025 administration but again, I accept no responsibility, thus no shame (no shame for the USA past wrongful actions either that I had no responsibility for creating but recognize and denounce). I will relish his removal.

Is not Islamophobia

It’s a scourge that needs to be wipe out.

Countries need to open their eyes now before it’s too late. See what’s those folks are turning Europe into.
