Documents show US seized Iranian crude oil off UAE coast, sold it for $110m

[IsraelTimes] Tanker said to have been subjected to forfeiture under American anti-terrorism statutes as Revolutionary Guard tried to use it to sell crude oil to China

The US has sold some 2 million barrels of Iranian crude oil after seizing an oil tanker off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, court documents and government statistics show.

The Iranian crude oil showed up in new figures released over the weekend by the US Energy Information Agency, raising the eyebrows of commodities traders as Tehran remains targeted by a series of American sanctions. The EIA figures included just over 1 million barrels of Iranian "crude oil imports" in March.

#3  Seized off the coast of the UAE, Snowy Thing. No suggestion that the UAE had anything to do with it.

#2  You say that as if you think this report is completely on the level.

Why was Iran sending oil to the UAE?

Is the UAE an oil importer or something?

#1  Now, to add insult to injury, tell them these 110 millions will be used to fund security for synagogues & churches in USA.
