Iran says US move to seize oil shipment is 'act of piracy'
|
[AlAhram] "This shipment does not belong to the Iranian government. It belongs to the private sector," Foreign Ministry front man Saeed Khatibzadeh told a weekly news conference
Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
said on Monday that a US move this month to seize a cargo of oil on the grounds that it came from Tehran was an act of piracy, adding that the shipment did not belong to the Iranian government.
Washington filed a lawsuit earlier this month to seize the cargo, alleging that Iran sought to mask the origin of the oil by transferring it to several vessels before it ended up aboard the Liberian-flagged Achilleas tanker destined for China.
Washington said the cargo contravened US terrorism regulations.
"This shipment does not belong to the Iranian government. It belongs to the private sector," Foreign Ministry front man Saeed Khatibzadeh told a weekly news conference.
He did not elaborate on what he meant by the private sector.
The Achilleas last reported its position on Sunday as anchored within the Galveston Offshore Lightering Area, which is outside the US Gulf port of Galveston, Refinitiv ship tracking data showed on Monday.
A US official said last week that Washington had sold more than a million barrels of Iranian fuel seized under its sanctions programme last year.
Tensions have mounted between Washington and Tehran since 2018, when former US President Donald Trump
...the Nailer of NAFTA...
abandoned Iran's 2015 nuclear deal with six major powers and reimposed sanctions on the country.
US President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
 ...Candidate for president in 2020. I had the great honor of being arrested with our UN Ambassador on the streets of Soweto, trying to get to see him on Robbens Island ...
has pledged to revive the nuclear deal if Tehran returns to full compliance with the accord.
"It is very unfortunate that such an act of piracy is happening under the new US administration ... a solution should be found to stop such acts of piracy by anyone for any reason," the front man Khatibzadeh added.
