Iranian authorities seized an alleged Israeli-linked cargo ship near the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday morning, in the latest escalation of tensions between the two countries, amid concerns of an Iranian attack in response to an airstrike on an Iranian embassy earlier this month.

Iran probably got intel from us on this.

I’m a tad surprised that anyone in any way connected to Israel would put something they own within range of the kleptocracy of Iran.

Megatron @Megatron_ron 🇮🇷🇮🇱 Iran seized the Israeli ship MSC ARIES in the Strait of Hormuz. This is a big game changer. This once again is confirming that the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Qatar are helping Israel bypass the Houthi blockade by land route from the UAE port. Iran is now cutting that route as well. If Hezbollah cut the Mediterranean route with its drones, Israel could fall into a complete trade blockade.

They’ve been escalating just about daily for 7 months when they take a break from their parliament chanting “death to America”
Yet I am often reading of us and Israel are the war mongering escalators.

Hunter and the Big Guy aren't pulling in much loot now that the conservative press is on to them... Not saying the CIA told the 'directly'...
Biden's always sold classified information for favors. Why would this be different?
Democrats get passes from our corrupt 'intelligence' services. How do you think Hunter got away with his 'business' all these years?

Weakness is provocation. The WH is weak. So naturally, Iran and its proxies are taking advantage. In that sense, the US is escalating. The WH keeps provoking sociopathic barbarians with weakness.

Good post by someone following this stuff in detail. Thanks. Here's an accompanying map depicting those land routes from that tweet you posted.

You don't really have any evidence, other than Biden bad.
Your "logic" resembles that of Trump haters. Trump bad, therefore Trump guilty of everything imaginable. Except in your case, it's Biden who's guilty of everything.
In reality, the Biden administration (whoever his handlers are) has given billions in additional military aid to Israel.
Furthermore, they've been urging Israel to de-escalate.
Helping Iran capture an Israeli ship would defeat both those goals.

Probably is now. Perfectly disguised among cargo containers.

You’re right l have no evidence(as if) and no reason to think this other than Biden being a treasonous scumbag and Obongo’s #1 being an Iranian agent. Right no reason at all to think they would feed intel to the Iranians. It’s not as if they dropped pallets of cash on their soil or anything like that right?

You would think a billionaire could afford a few rockets. You would think a billionaire could afford the fuel to hang around the northern Mediterranean or perhaps the Caribbean.

It’s not as if they dropped pallets of cash on their soil or anything like that right? You want to use "pallets of cash" as evidence? Biden sent tens of billions worth of additional aid to Israel since October 7th.
More importantly, Biden (i.e., his handlers) have been urging de-escalation. Which is not helped by Iran seizing an Israeli ship.
Furthermore, Biden sent the U.S. military to patrol the area, and protect Israeli interests. As they did, aggressively, yesterday.
So when you consider all the evidence it weighs heavily against Biden or U.S. intel sending info to the Iranians.
