Update on British-flagged oil tank seizure by Iran: crew are unharmed. The situation is going to drag on. Damaging for British shipping if not resolved quickly. Attempts to incorrectly re-characterise this as US fault bc of pulling out of Iran deal. It’s not. Foreign Secretary...
...Hunt ordered earlier this month to arrest an Iranian oil tanker in Gibraltar, claiming without proof that it was going to Syria, which is sanctioned by the EU. Why he decided to step in to implement EU sanctioned when Britain is leaving the EU is unclear. Why he decided to...
...provoke Iran without considering the consequences is unclear. Britain does not have a proper Navy, jets, or missiles in the region. Now Brits have to rely on the US to bail them out. Current UK Prime Minister not involved. New PM only announced next week. What a mess.

Nunes on Mueller's July 24 hearing: "I am very concerned, and I think we should expect the worst because he only has to say a couple things and the rest of the media will take one little phrase and run with it and try to run towards impeachment." cnsnews.com/news/article/s…
Earlier this week, Nunes told Fox News's Sean Hannity he believes Mueller is "back-channeling" -- working with Democrats to "create a narrative" for his July 24th hearings.
Nunes called the Mueller report a "joke": "I know there was no collusion and I know there was no obstruction. This whole investigation was an obstruction of justice trap. It was a trap, and I hope people understand why."

The judge asked “Can you address also the specific tie to the Russian government, which is the overarching comment that the attorney general made tying both this case and then the case involving the hacking and the release of the e-mails, the GRU case, to the Russian government?
"DOJ’s response: “The report doesn’t say that.” What? I thought we “knew” that the Russian government committed an act of war by posting politically charged information on the internet. Now the DOJ is backing away from any tie between internet troll farm and Russian government?"
'The DOJ has now admitted that the Mueller report “itself does not state anywhere that the Russian government was behind the Internet Research Agency activity.' thefederalist.com/2019/07/11/doj…

UK flagged oil/chemical tanker STENA IMPERO doing something interesting at the moment. It's port is the opposite way of where it's heading, and it's heading directly for the #Iran|ian island of Qeshm.. 🤔
The track of this ship is incredibly concerning, if it continues on it's track towards Iran, which it's only 9.5 nautical miles from..
Here's an image by Relic in Crustacean Nation - this track is the rather concerning part.

THREAD

1)
 Let’s talk about @CNN’s latest attempt to portray a dove image of #Iran’s mullahs & the terrorist-designated IRGC by giving a platform to known Tehran apologist/lobbyist @nargesbajoghli.

To be fair, here's the entire interview:
2)
 A few talking points used by Bajoghli:
-Most Iranians today do not remember the 1979 revolution & the Iran-Iraq War (meaning we should forgo all of the mullahs/IRGC crimes during that horrific period).
-The regime/IRGC are rebranding to nationalist viewpoints.
3)
 Bajoghli claims the IRGC “is moving away from some of the founding stories of the Islamic Republic…”

Reminder - Iran armed forces chief of staff:
UK's seizure of Iran's oil tanker "will not go unanswered. If necessary, it will be responded in an appropriate time & place."

#Iran is the hot topic these days and I've seen lots of theories floating around on social media about possibility of war with US. This thread will feature my two cents on the situation 👇
Firstly, I don’t think so that war is about to happen. US will increase pressure on Iran, they have already sanctioned them heavily and forced the Oil/gas importers of Iran to back out and Iranian oil exports have fallen significantly within a year.
To know what impact and kind of sanctions US has on Iran currently, go through this article so that we're on same page on how US is pressuring Iran by economic squeezing. aljazeera.com/news/2019/05/s…
