The ship, called Linch, sailed from the port of Lankah and was heading towards the UAE

Iran has seized another vessel and its crew in the Strait of Hormuz, according to The National, quoting a semi-official Iranian news agency.

The vessel, called Linch, was carrying "smuggled diesel" and its crew of 11 has been arrested, according to Fars News.

"The ship, called Linch, sailed from the port of Lankah and was heading towards the UAE. It was stopped 20 miles east of the island of Tunb," an Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps naval commander told the agency.

The islands of Abu Musa and the Greater and Lesser Tunb, a few kilometres off the UAE coastline were seized by Iran in 1971 as the UAE was formed.

They are considered strategically important waypoints in the Strait of Hormuz.

If confirmed, the ship seizure represents the latest move by Iran to obstruct navigation in the world’s most important waterway for global energy supplies.

The US has blamed Iran for a series of attacks on oil tankers, allegations Tehran has denied, while Iran has seized at least one British-flagged tanker for alleged unsafe navigation practices.

Washington and other Western powers have accused Tehran of lashing out after the US withdrew from the nuclear deal signed in 2015.

It then imposed two rounds of crippling sanctions on the Iranian economy to disrupt what it says is malign activity across the Middle East.

Earlier this week, a series of attacks on Saudi Arabia’s oil infrastructure reduced the country’s daily output by half, and the world’s supply of oil by 6%, rocking financial markets.

The US and Saudi Arabia have accused Iran of being behind the attacks.

Iran is Russia client state, biggest Russia ally in the middle east. Russia wants to weaken KSA and UAE financially so they have no choice but to buy Russian weapons instead of western weapons.

Iran is Russia client state,

What are you blabbering about? Do you even know what a client state is? Iran is in no shape or formed reliant on Russia. Don't open your gob next time about matters you know nothing about.

Just a small ship with false UAE flag, nothing to see here.

In Iran diesel is heavily subsidised by the government so it is very cheap, hence there is a lot of illegal fuel smuggling out of Iran.

Effective response or atleast establishment of the fact that a country would effectively respond is very important for stability and security.
India was forgetting this fact and on 27/2 we reminded them of it and refreshed their memories. Saudi have never done any such realisation to the iranians. Infact saudi inaction have emboldened them. This will only keep increasing untill saudi effectively responds.
There was kid in my school who used to bully me, even though he was physically not tht strong, i restrained n he took it as weakness. Any how one day i responded with force n he got the msg, since that day, no one ever dared to bully me again.

we made revenge when we killed second caliph we made the revenge when destroyed ummayed dynasty , when we made Abbasid a vassals , when we defeated Abbasid army several time and when we changed their caliphs whenever we liked ,I wonder how much revenge you think we need

by the way do you like me again recite the story of Piruz Nahavandi and the great deed he committed so you again see it was impossible without divine aid

You can do million of such acts,all of them combine won't belittle Qadisiyyah.
P.S:-Your conversion to Islam+under swords to shiasim in this also.
@Rafi @Kaka420 I hope you don't agree with Persians on this.

The Zorastrian empire is out to take revenge from Arabs for defeating their Persian empire...
We muslims should defend our muslim brothers against Zorastrian/persian attrocities.
A country where Abu LuLu is a national Hero cannot be deemd as friend of Muslims and Islam.

Muslims defeated Zoroastrian empire, NOT Arabs. When Muhammad (PBUH) was fighting the infidels of Makkah, he was fighting "Arabs" of Makkah the likes of Abu Jahal and Abu Lahab etc., so being Arab but NOT being Muslim was of NO importance in the eyes of Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions in the positions of power.

The fact of the matter is Muhammad (PBUH) and his Companions (RA) were fighting all the wars they did as Muslims only and not as Arabs. In fact during the early expansion of Muslim faith, most of their victims in wars were ARABS of Arabia itself.

 

[Timur]

Who is Abu LuLu?

the one who sneaky killed Hz. Omar ra. while he was praying... they build a shrine for abu lulu and some made tawwaf

I respect your POV, but what you need to understand is; we (You and Me) have only one thing in common and that is Quran, other than that, I follow different theology, different ethics, different jurisprudence, even our Quranic interpretations are not aligned. Yet I am willing to coexist with you, why cannot you or your likes?

Pakistan is best example of coexistance,we have several high ranking officals including Heads of state from Shia sect.There isn't any other Islamic state like that.Apart from individual acts there is nothing.
The more persian influence comes,i fear this balance would be destroyed.

I fear the same, but not with regards to Persian influence but Arabian and Indian influence.

You might be banned on this forum..

Haven't you seen how shamelessly the posts glorifying the cowardly killing of Umar Radi Allah Ta'ala Anhu go unnoticed?

See this:

we made revenge when we killed second caliph

Completely agreed with you. But the problem is that Mullahs of Iran are stoking Persian nationalism as large sections of Iranian populace don't have that much religious views. Hence the rivalry right now with KSA is very much a Persian vs Arab thing.

Also Persians still haven't forgotten the Battle of Qadisiyyah. They strongly believe that Arabs defeated them and they don't see that fight as Muslims vs Kafir thing.
