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.
