It\u2019s a bogus claim,\u201d Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The regime, in fact, had seized a Vietnamese-flagged oil tanker in October.

The vessel is identified as &#8216;Southys&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to the Tanker Trackers website, Southys \u201cattempted to make a delivery of 700,000 barrels of Iranian crude oil to China but was rejected. SOTHYS then sailed all the way back to Iran and dropped anchor in Bandar Abbas. Yesterday she was relocated to the Strait of Hormuz.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">SOTHYS attempted to make a delivery of 700,000 barrels of Iranian crude oil to China but was rejected.

The show of &#8220;teaching a lesson to the global arrogance\u201d comes ahead of the new rounds of nuclear talks in Vienna. Tehran intends to continue its extortion campaign, either by violating its commitments under the terms of the 2015 nuclear deal or by clear acts of belligerence and terrorism.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Since the regime has not paid the price of its regional adventurism and nuclear extortion, it continues its malign activities. Why does Tehran take the risk of creating an international fiasco which could lead to a standoff rather than attempting to restore the 2015 nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The state-run Aftab-e Yazd daily acknowledged on November 2 that if Tehran \u201creturns to the JCPOA, the U.S. and other signatories would not be limited to the JCPOA and its terms. If Tehran leaves the JCPOA, it has to start negotiations with the countries that want to accelerate negotiations and extend the nuclear negotiations to other issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cIf Iran accepts this,\u201d Aftab-e Yazd adds, \u201cand even it wants to buy some time, it will result in a standoff. Thus, we are in a situation where a \u2018great decision\u2019 becomes inevitable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It should be noted that Iran\u2019s state-TV broadcasted the entire attack on the oil tanker to somehow boost the morale of the regime\u2019s forces.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Iran is going through its worst time in the last century. The regime\u2019s economy is in shambles. The Covid-19 takes thousands daily due to the regime\u2019s inaction, Tehran is facing increasing regional and international isolation, and most importantly, the regime faces a restive society. There are dozens of protests every day across the country. The situation has reached a point that state media warn officials about another uprising.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/SBdPq4Iv3Vg\"><\/a>\u201cThe political system in Iran has been facing the crises of political legitimacy, economic efficiency, and structural corruption for many years,\u201d the state-run Mostaghel daily wrote on October 30.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cWhen people are unable to meet their basic needs, they join the impoverished social classes. When the impoverished classes grow too large, millions will have nothing to lose and resort to violence. This would certainly endanger the state\u2019s security,\u201d Aftab-e Yazd daily warned on October 31.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The western powers should not concede to the regime\u2019s extortion campaign. Such provocative actions, which destabilized international peace and security, should not be left unanswered. The regime should be held accountable, and this is the only way to end its malign activities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/SBdPq4Iv3Vg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-246866 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" width=\"250\" height=\"83\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png 250w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1-150x50.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On November 4, Iran&rsquo;s state-TV claimed that the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) navy blocked the United States from &ldquo;stealing&rdquo; an Iranian oil tanker in the Sea of Oman. &ldquo;With the timely [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":250249,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,17,19],"tags":[129,229,287],"class_list":{"0":"post-250230","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-iran-a-world","8":"category-nuclear","9":"category-terrorism-a-fundamentalism","10":"tag-iran","11":"tag-irans-economy","12":"tag-iran-terrorism"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Why Iran Seized a Vessel Which Was Carrying Its Own Oil?
