update on the Thai ship & crew News.

As tensions continue in the ongoing USA/ Israel /Iran conflict, the Strait of H has become an extremely dangerous route for commercial shipping, with ships sometimes targeted for allegedly ignoring warnings ,most recently the Thai cargo ship Mayuree Naree, where crew members were put to the test.

A survivor's account describes the terror, explosions that struck the ship, leading to a hurried evacuation while three sailors remain unaccounted for in the damaged engine room, the story hits hard on the very real human impact of navigating the passage .

This situation brings to mind the tragic events of October 7, when Iranian proxy Hamas attacked in Israel and many Thai workers were slaughtered or taken hostage, around 39 thru 46 lives lost, with dozens more held for months.

Global attention was limited on those Thai victims, and Thai officials responded through quiet diplomacy and negotiations , leaving families in prolonged distress.

Now, with the Mayuree incident, three Thai crew members are still missing and once again, the story receives relatively little ongoing coverage.

More Thai blood spilled by the state sponsor of terror's regime.

First Thai national killed in Iranian missile attack in Israel

"The top Emirati diplomat "strongly condemned the unprovoked and terrorist Iranian missile attack targeting the West Bank, which resulted in several civilian casualties", official news agency WAM said.

The UAE itself has suffered numerous Iranian attacks since the war began on February 28, when the United States and Israel launched a massive wave of strikes on Iran"

You're kidding , right ?

America bombs Iran and Iran is a terrorist for defending itself?

Pull the other one.

If I was having the living daylights bombed out of me, I am pretty sure I would be responding with everything I had at my disposal.

I don't know in what fantasy world the OP thinks that reaction would be in abeyance.

It would seem American and Israeli intelligence has seriously underestimated Iran's ability to retaliate.

As Mike Tyson said, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

How is killing Thai sailors defending itself

How to navigate around Terror in the Strait of H

Stay away from US and Israeli military forces. These two provide the world with the majority of terrorism aimed at civilians throughout the world.

The international left have lost the plot(and any shred of common sense).

Meanwhile, Thailand's govt is demanding an apology and clarification from Iran, Thai ship is neutral ,they got caught in the Strait,while some cheer the attackers. Priorities are way upside down here.

Some international left are out there cheering the attackers or excusing it as defending sovereignty.

Priorities are way upside down, mourning or justifying dead/missing sailors while ignoring how this endangers global trade and neutrals everywhere.

It's a complete moral degradation by the people who support Iran terror tactics.

Would you mind posting a credible link to support your claim?

AFAIK, no one on the "international left " on ASEAN is supporting Iran's terror tactics. Everyone wants the Strait of Hormuz open again.

However, we are saying Iran's response is entirely predictable, given the terror visited on it from the skies.

You expect Iran to meekly sit the bombardment out, without retaliating? That's delusional.

The moron in the White House made a massive miscalculation. It is far from his first.

He is now calling countries who don't come to his aid cowards. That's pretty rich, coming from a guy who dodged the draft with fake bone spurs.

From where I sit, it's you that is lacking any common sense.

A lot of moral degradates end up in Thailand , now there's a suprise. You appear to have strong batteries are they Duracell by any chance - that would explaint it ? Iran has a right to self-defence against illegal agression it is enshrined in ineterantional law and it's worth remebering that Israel was and is and will be the promary source of instability in the Middle East and now the world.
