@tparsi @JZarif #UPDATE
UK-linked "Mesdar" tanker updates position, now increasing speed & turning away from Iran. Possibly due to U.S. armed flights over Strait of Hormuz.

Unconfirmed report:
Honk Kong's LRS2 Podeidon tanker in Gulf of Oman could be the third tanker seized by Iran today.
@tparsi @JZarif Alongside @tparsi & his crew, #Iran's regime can count on the likes of @chrislhayes in the biased MSM to justify their malign measures and provide life support just when Tehran needs it the most.
