I want to turn away from the COVID-19 bullshit, for once again there are some other MAJOR issues happening elsewhere in the world that some readers and commentators have asked for my 'two cents worth' to find out the REAL truth...One in particular was the reports coming out via the Jewish controlled media outlets about the US supposedly 'seizing' 4 Iranian 'tankers' that were heading to the embattled nation of Venezuela carrying some 1.1 Million tonnes of Gasoline...... I saw those initial reports, and from the vagueness of those reports including the lack of real details about this 'seizure', I smelled a rat instantly.... I began to think as a critical thinker and a pessimist, that there is a LOT more to this 'seizure' than meets the eye and that it may indeed be nothing but pure propaganda BULLSHIT....Well, knowing how much the Jewish controlled media lies their asses off these days (especially with the scam-demic bullshit..) I knew I had to turn to other sources to determine what exactly just happened with this "tanker seizure" that the US government continues to claim as valid... And I do want to now turn to the following report that comes from the PressTV online news service out if Iran at www.presstv.ir, that shows that the entire report of the 'seizure of Iranian tankers' is absolutely false.. Here is that report here:Exclusive: Report of US seizure of Iranian fuel cargoes falseFriday, 14 August 2020 5:44 PM [ Last Update: Friday, 14 August 2020 6:04 PM ]This file handout photo, released by the Venezuelan Ministry of Popular Power for Communication and Information (Minci) on May 25, 2020, shows the Iranian-flagged oil tanker Fortune docked at the El Palito refinery after its arrival to Puerto Cabello, in the northern state of Carabobo, Venezuela. (Via AFP)A report that the United States has seized Iranian fuel cargoes aboard ships bound for Venezuela is false, an informed Iranian source has told Press TV.The informed source explained on Friday that the fuel shipments in question had already been purchased and paid for and that neither the vessels carrying them nor the shipments themselves were related to Iran.The Wall Street Journal had on Thursday cited US officials as saying that the US government had for the first time seized vessels allegedly carrying Iranian gasoline to Venezuela. It said the US had recently seized four vessels, called Luna, Pandi, Bering, and Bella, on the high seas and they were being transferred to Houston, Texas.US seizes Iranian fuel cargoes for first time: WSJThe US government has for the first time seized vessels allegedly carrying Iran’s gasoline to Venezuela, the Wall Street Journal reports.Iran’s Ambassador to Venezuela Hojjat Soltani had already rejected the report as another “lie” and an instance of “psychological warfare.”“Neither the tankers are Iranian, nor their owner or flags have anything to do with Iran,” he said in a Twitter post on Thursday.Soltani said that the fake news aimed to cover up the failure of the US administration’s policy toward Iran.Iran sent five ships carrying Iranian fuel to Venezuela in May and June to help revive oil refineries in the South American country, which is suffering from a severe fuel shortage as a result of US sanctions.The Iranian shipments — sent on Iranian-flagged vessels and operated by Iranian crew — drew the ire of the United States, which has imposed draconian sanctions on both Iran and Venezuela with the aim of choking off their oil revenues.Press TV’s website can also be accessed at the following alternate addresses:www.presstv.irwww.presstv.co.ukwww.presstv.tvI have also been watching for a follow up to that first report from Press TV from yesterday, and the following report from Press TV shows that there may indeed be a real 'underlying issue' behind this entire "tanker seizure' fiasco... And it has to do with the inability of the US criminals to re-impose 'sanctions' against both Iran and Venezuela in the UN Security Council from just last Thursday! Here in fact is that follow up Press TV report here:US seeks to make up for UNSC failure with alleged seizure of Iranian tankers: RouhaniSaturday, 15 August 2020 10:22 AM [ Last Update: Saturday, 15 August 2020 10:44 AM ]Iran's President Hassan Rouhani speaks during a meeting of the National Headquarters for Managing and Fighting the Coronavirus in Tehran, on August 15, 2020. (Photo by president.ir)Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says the United States has cooked up a story about the seizure of four tankers carrying Iranian gasoline bound for Venezuela after suffering an embarrassing diplomatic defeat at the United Nations Security Council which on Friday rejected its proposal to extend an arms embargo on Iran.
“Having suffered the political defeat, the Americans claimed to have seized four Iranian vessels in international waters. It however turned out later that neither were the tankers Iranian nor Iran-flagged. It was all just fake news,” Rouhani said during a meeting of the National Headquarters for Managing and Fighting the Coronavirus in Tehran on Saturday.
The Wall Street Journal had on Thursday cited US officials as saying that the US government had for the first time seized vessels allegedly carrying Iranian gasoline to Venezuela. It said the US had recently seized four vessels, called Luna, Pandi, Bering, and Bella, on the high seas and they were being transferred to Houston, Texas.Iran’s Ambassador to Venezuela Hojjat Soltani on Thursday rejected the report as another “lie” and an instance of “psychological warfare.”“Neither the tankers are Iranian, nor their owner or flags have anything to do with Iran,” he said in a Twitter post.Exclusive: Report of US seizure of Iranian fuel cargoes falseA report that the United States has seized Iranian fuel cargoes aboard ships bound for Venezuela is false, an informed Iranian source tells Press TV.Soltani said the fake news aimed to cover up the failure of the US administration’s policy toward Iran.The Security Council on Friday rejected a US resolution to extend an arms embargo on Iran that is due to expire in October.Only two of the Council's 15 members voted in favor, highlighting the division between Washington and its European allies since US President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from Iran’s nuclear deal, which is officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and has been endorsed by Security Council Resolution 2231, in May 2018.UN Security Council rejects US resolution to extend Iran arms embargoThe United Nations Security Council has rejected a US resolution to extend an arms embargo on Iran that is due to expire in October.Besides the United States, only the Dominican Republic voted in favor of the draft as China and Russia voted against the bid, with the remaining 11 Security Council members, including the European allies of the United States, abstaining.“The failure of the United States is a sign of the power of the JCPOA ... The reason why the resolution had 11 abstentions and 2 votes against was because everyone believes in maintaining the JCPOA for the sake of security. The United States failed miserably in this regard,” Rouhani said.“The Islamic Republic of Iran, with its power in the region and by cooperating with its friends with whom it shares common goals, has achieved great successes so far," he said."Yesterday was a great political victory for Iran and a disgraceful defeat for the United States. We hope that the countries of the region will learn a lesson and will not approach usurping countries.”Rouhani warns UAE against letting Israel into regionRouhani also strongly lambasted the UAE-Israel deal that will lead to full normalization of their diplomatic relations, warning Abu Dhabi about the consequences of allowing the Tel Aviv regime to secure a foothold in the region and wield influence.The Iranian president noted UAE rulers have taken a wrong path to think that their security and economic growth would be ensured if they sided with the United States and the Israeli regime.He denounced the UAE-Israel normalization agreement as a betrayal of the Palestinian cause, Muslim world as well as the issue of the occupied Jerusalem al-Quds.Rouhani also condemned US President Donald Trump’s hugely-controversial endorsement of occupied Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel's “undivided capital,” relocation of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem al-Quds and the so-called “deal of the century” on the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“The Zionists are planning to occupy and expropriate more Palestinian territories, expand settlement activities and press ahead with their crimes against the Muslim Palestinian nation,” he said.
Rouahni highlighted that UAE officials agreed to the normalization deal with Israel in order to please Trump and improve his chances of garnering more votes in the forthcoming US presidential election scheduled for November 3.Various Palestinian factions in the occupied West Bank and besieged Gaza Strip have roundly condemned the normalization announcement.Press TV’s website can also be accessed at the following alternate addresses:www.presstv.irwww.presstv.co.ukwww.presstv.tvNTS Notes: I could not help but notice the LACK of any information about this US rebuttal in the UN Security Council from just two days ago (!) Yes, the Jewish run media will never report this serious failure and continue with their scam-demic nonsense instead! Therefore the facts may be that this entire 'oil tanker seizure' may have been thrown out there by these propaganda liars to cover for that incredible defeat of the US at the UN Security Council!I want to make it clear that I am NOT sold at all on this "Iranian Oil Tanker seizure" propaganda at all.. BUT I am not yet sold entirely on the Iranian perspective either... The truth is indeed somewhere 'between these two extremes', but knowing how much the US Jewish controlled media are known liars and con artists, I am more leaning on this entire 'seizure' as being a massive HOAX!So WHERE are those 'seized tankers' right now? I have seen reports everywhere claiming that the 'cargo' from those 'tankers' had been transferred to other ships (?) and was sent to the US itself... And if this did happen as these criminals state, then this is US piracy on the high seas and theft of Venezuelan property... And the purpose would definitely be to further anger Iran as part of the eventual goal of war with Iran itself...If something more comes from this strange story, I will do my best to present it here... .So stay tuned..More to comeNTS
