The IRGC Seizes Two Greek Cargo Ships

Iran, via its IRGC highly effective arm, determined to set a brand new rule of engagement with high-seas piracy, any Iranian ship or cargo will get pirated, at the least two of the pirates’ ships will probably be seized till the pirated Iranian ship or cargo’s matter is resolved.

Within the above context, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps introduced they’ve seized two Greek cargo ships within the Persian Gulf ‘for violating the foundations of the ocean’ because the Iranian information company IRNA quoted the IRGC assertion.

Moreover, the IRGC has warned the authorities in Athens that 17 different Greek ships at the moment within the Persian Gulf will probably be seized if they don’t ‘instantly right their mistake.’

This IRGC step comes at some point after the information was made out there that an Iranian cargo of diesel was pirated by the Greek authorities within the Mediterranean, siphoned its diesel cargo onto one other ship, and headed to a port in the US of America.

Whereas the IRGC official assertion makes use of authorized phrases of their assertion reciprocating the Greek’s official assertion to justify their act of piracy referring to a US unlawful sanctions towards Iran and Russia, the Iranian ship pirated operates underneath a Russian flag as per some sources, different Iranian sources referred to the IRGC’s act as a response to the Greek authorities’ act of piracy.

The federal government in Greece, like all its predecessors, wants the help of the Greek shippers who’ve large affect over the political life within the Hellenic Republic being a important sturdy financial energy within the nation; threatening their core enterprise would possibly result in the downfall of the Greek authorities, equally, how the identical authorities resisted EU strain to ban Russian shipments of oil underneath the latter’s ‘most strain to hurt the Russian folks to push them to revolt towards their authorities in Moscow.’

Should say that it’s additionally very low-cost of the Biden junta, and earlier than that of the Trump junta, to power smaller hapless international locations to do their crimes when the USA itself failed to hold out such piracy, this time they pressured Greece to pirate the Iranian ship cargo and the UK within the earlier time.

Greece, since its authorities refused to attract correct classes from the precise lesson the UK went via has just one choice, in our view: pay the house owners of the Iranian diesel cargo they pirated correct compensations and undertake to not resort to piracy sooner or later regardless of the strain its NATO allies exert on it.
