[h=1]Iran's military 'fires at and seizes US cargo ship'[/h]
Iran's military 'fires at and seizes US cargo ship' - Home News - UK - The Independent
Iranian forces have reportedly fired at and seized a US cargo ship with 34 sailors on board, according to Saudi Arabian state TV.
The vessel has been directed to the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas on the southern coast, Al-Arabiya has reported.
It remains unclear why or if the ship was captured, and whether the shots injured anyone on-board, as neither US nor Iranian officials have confirmed the allegations. The US Fifth Fleet off the coast of Bahrain had no immediate comment on the report, according to Reuters.
Iran's semi-official Fars news agency suggested that the ship was trespassing in the Persian Gulf.
So why would this peaceful nation who only wants nuclear power, not weapons take such aggressive action against us vessels? it seems to me they are being quite openly antagonistic while the apologists look the other way.
