The Iranian tankers are heading to Venezuela while the oil sectors of #Iran and #Venezuela are under US heavy sanctions!
However,the tankers sailing with IR flag proudly.
If the tankers reach their destination,once again the US hegemony and its sanction effectiveness will fall

and in the case of seizing any of the tankers will definitely have a response from Iran in the #Persian_Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
Remember #StenaImpero the British oil tanker detention by #Iran in the Persian Gulf just few miles from the British and French warships...

We have 3 scenarios;
1. the ships will reach their destination safe and sound!
2. the #US will seize the ships and #Iran will do nothing!!
3. the US will seize the ships and Iran will do things!!!

All options are on the table; We shall see.

Following reports of the #US threats to harass #Iran-ian fuel tankers heading to #Venezuela, Zarif in a letter to the UN Secretary-General, warned about the US activities to send its Naval to the Caribbean with the intention of intervening and disrupting Iran's fuel shipments

Following the letter, Araghchi, Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs, summoned the Swiss Ambassador which represents the interests of the #US in #Iran, urging him to send Iran's serious warning to US officials about any possible US threats against Iranian tankers!

The Deputy Foreign Minister warned that any threat against Iranian tankers would be met with an immediate and decisive response from #Iran, & that the #US government would be responsible for the consequences.

Maybe this could help US to remember some of the consequences👇😁

The #US Navy issued a warning that all vessels are to maintain a distance of at least 100 meters from its ships in international waters
It said any vessel within this parameter would be interpreted as a threat and ...

On the other hand, the #IRGC Navy in the #Persian_Gulf is on full alert & ready to retaliate against #US ships.
Also, the IRGC Aerospace force has been on full alert since the previous days, so that it can take an appropriate response if the tensions get out of control.

The US request comes as Iranian oil tankers in international waters are approaching #Venezuela, and if the United States disrupts the process, Iran’s response will be hard and surprising. /16

Thus, the #US warning about maintaining distance can be interpreted in this context, and this will clearly depend on the future behavior of the United States towards #Iran-ian tankers.
