#BREAKING
"Armed men board vessel in Gulf of Oman - UKMTO"

#Iran at its old games again?
uk.mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/id…
#UPDATE indicates #Iran's navy / Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) is behind this latest attack.

Tehran has a history of resorting to such measures, especially when it needs to portray a strong image at times of crisis.
#UPDATE
Crew and tanker are reportedly released.

My take:
Quite interesting that #Iran seized & released the tanker in such haste.
-Is Tehran sending a signal?
-Or did they receive a warning message to release the vessel immediately?

#Iran—DISTURBING

God knows how many chicks were put to death as chicken farmers could no longer afford to feed them.

Of course, the regime would never purchase these chicks to feed the homeless & needy.
#Iran—DISTURBING

More footage of killing thousands of chicks.

Why? They say they can't feed them.

Truth: Regime-linked companies are deliberately lowering supply to increase the market price of poultry.
#Iran—DISTURBING

More footage of killing thousands of chicks.

Regime officials say #coronavirus caused a decrease in poultry demand & prices dropping. Thus, they ordered measures to raise prices.

Question: Why wasn't this supply of poultry used to provide for the poor & needy?

1)
 April 15—#Iran—Senior IRGC officials say their "scientists" invented a new remote device that uses a "magnetic field" with a "bipolar virus inside" that can detect the novel #coronavirus "within 100 meters" & has "+80% accuracy."

Let’s dig in.
2)
 IRGC official claims:
-No other device like this in the world
-Completely made inside Iran
-We can even increase the speed & range, up to 500 meters
-Can detect virus from inside a moving vehicle
3)
 The "expert" places the "receiver" in different positions & the "device antenna" fails to move... even once.

One lady is heard saying, "It's all propaganda!"
