Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Iran's move against the tanker is a masterstroke of strategy. It's a clever response that manages to seize an Israeli asset without resorting to violence, making it difficult for Israel to escalate the situation further. This move keeps the U.S. out of the conflict and plays to Iran's strengths, while minimizing Israel's advantages. It's a subtle yet effective move that highlights the potential consequences of Israeli aggression and showcases Iran's patience and strategic prowess. This isn't a sexy, headline-grabbing move, but it's a strategic one that could have far-reaching implications for the region.

It's also exposing the hypocrisy in the west because all of a sudden the same western companies that failed to condemn Israel bombing an embassy started caring about international law.

Yeah, Ansarallah showed that US is completely powerless to prevent the blockade and it hits Israel where it hurts.
