BUCHAREST, Romania -- A Romanian oil rig off the coast of Iran came under fire Tuesday from an Iranian military warship and was later occupied by Iranian troops, a company spokesman said.
The Iranians first fired into the air and then fired at the Orizont rig, said GSP spokesman Radu Petrescu. Half an hour later, troops from the ship boarded and occupied the rig and the company lost contact with the 26 crew members shortly afterward....

I wonder if this is the beginning of the 8-22 action?
To: John999
Is this the start? Have we completed adding Romania to NATO? If so, we have certain obligations, not that we wouldn't come to their defense anyway. Let's see if the Romanians have the patience of Job Carter and wait 444 days.

Sure sounds like war...
are they wanting to see if the USA will jump to the defense of an ally?

Maybe this was what "Alamajeddi" (or what ever his name is) was referring to when he referenced 22 August.

Oil prices will spike for sure.

The rig wouldn't happen to be named the Arch Duke Ferdinand, would it?

Perhaps this is the well (oil) where the 12th. Iman is hiding?

After quickly reading the article it seems it may be a business dispute.
Risky business if nothing else.
To: John999
Act of war? No. The Iranian's own all the oil, then again, the European Crusader Aggressors were the ones who built the rig on IRANIAN oil, so it may have been a reclaimation.
FRANCE, where are you when the world needs you!
