International sanctions trump Maritime Law...

Admiralty law or maritime law is a distinct body of law that governs maritime questions and offenses. It is a body of both domestic law governing maritime activities, and private international law governing the relationships between private entities that operate vessels on the oceans.

Admiralty law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admiralty_law

Admiralty law is distinguished from the Law of the Sea, which is a body of public international law dealing with navigational rights, mineral rights, jurisdiction over coastal waters and international law governing relationships between nations.

Explore: United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, International law

Although each legal jurisdiction usually has its own enacted legislation governing maritime matters, admiralty law is characterized by a significant amount of international law developed in recent decades, including numerous multilateral treaties.

Explore: International law
. . . under admiralty law, a bill of lading may either be a negotiable or 'order' bill of lading or a nonnegotiable or 'straight' bill of lading.

Not a single ME nation backs Iranian nukes. If iran had no intention to build nukes, this would have been settled long ago. AND YOU KNIOW IT. You are one smart dude.

Iran gave up their weapons program quite a while back also no one is supporting for Iran to have nukes. This "Iran is building nukes" delusion was dreamed up by Benny decades ago and he is still crying the same tune. The idiot said the same thing about Iraq to get America to invade and after thousands of our people died he said my bad I was wrong. A person has to be mental to believe anything Benny says.

So you think ballistic missiles are only for nukes? I see your knowledge of missiles is as limited as your knowledge of Iran. Oh yeah Benny whined Iran wanted them for nukes didn't he and the new age fuhrer is never wrong is he?

Then why the accelerators?

Kind of hard to have nuclear science without one.

I will say one thing in your favor, you persist at it. Lenin would be proud.

I will say one thing for you and that's Hitler would be proud how people like you still believe propaganda. Here is his little quote just for you.
“All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.” Adolf Hitler

He isn't anti-war. He's pro-Iran and anti-Israel.

A big difference between the two.

Your not even anti-war. You have your level/bar where you think military action would be acceptable. The only difference between where you and I stand, at least on Iran, is where that point is.

More garbage. What is the point of ballistic missiles if not for nuclear war-heads?

The accelerators, number-wise, is far beyond maintaining a peaceful nuclear power system, especially when one has oil coming out of your ears.

As far as Nazis go, The connection between Iran and the Nazis is well documented. It could very well be the point where anti-Jewish sentiment was transferred from Europe and the Germans to the ME.

Even Netanyahoo knows that Nuclear program is a lie !
When they want to put pressure on a country it is more acceptable to say they are making Nukes rather than saying they are executing gays !!

Maersk Tigris: Iran releases seized cargo ship

Article release on 7th May.

A container ship seized in the Strait of Hormuz by Iran last week has been released, its operator has confirmed.

Rickmers Shipmanagement said the 24 crew members of the Maersk Tigris were "in a good condition". The Marshall Islands-flagged vessel was intercepted by Iranian patrol boats on 28 April and taken to Bandar Abbas.

Iran said the ship was detained because of a legal dispute between the Danish company chartering it, Maersk, and a private Iranian firm. Maersk says the dispute dates backs to 2005, when it delivered 10 containers to Dubai for Pars Oil Products.

The containers were not collected and the cargo was disposed of after 90 days by the UAE authorities, it asserts.

The Iranian company subsequently accused Maersk of default and claimed $4m (£2.6m) as the value of the cargo. Maersk said it challenged the suit successfully and in 2007 the case was dismissed. However, an appeals court ordered it to pay $163,000 (£107,400) in February.

Wrong again. I'm anti getting Americans killed over ignorance. You have no proof of anything you have been claiming in this thread.

You still haven't read anything about them have you? Why am I not shocked.

We have oil coming out of our ears so why are we messing with nuclear energy?

The connection between Iran and the Nazis is well documented. It could very well be the point where anti-Jewish sentiment was transferred from Europe and the Germans to the ME.

The connection between Zionist and Nazis is well documented as well. And you are right after the it was transferred to the ME when the Zionist took over Israel. Just look at how they treat the Orthodox Jews they treat them just as bad as they treat the Christians and Muslims.

Yes, the age old argument of precedence. There is precedence for every act imaginable.

Obviously, the ship is worth far more than 10 mil. Why do you assume the 'taxman' is a valid claim?

Wouldn't a third party be consulted before such action are taken? Beside, the article say an Iranian company is owed that money, not State 'taxes'.

When has the U.S. navy ever been used to seize a foreign ship for debts owed to a U.S. Company? Certianly not without having gone throught the legal system. (such that it is, cough, cough...

).

There have been plenty of instances where courts have seized assets valued MUCH higher than the outstanding debt, sold those valuable assets for MUCH less than they are intrinsically worth, in lieu of payment.

It happens all the time mate. There are dozens of threads on here detailing exactly such moves by the government basically stealing property using the law as a means to do it.

Think of it like a combined thing...the money owed is repaid, and the debtor gets a kick in the pants at the same time by losing property worth more than the original debt was valued at.

It's a kind of...pay up or you'll be sorry situation, backed up by the law.

Beware ... Guess who owes Iran money now ?

IRNA: Israel ordered to pay Iran $1.1 billion

An Israeli oil company has been ordered by a Swiss court to pay $1.1 billion to Iran in compensation in a long-standing legal battle related to a joint venture before the Islamic Revolution, the IRNA news agency says.

Citing an “informed source” at Iran’s Presidential Center for Legal Affairs, IRNA said the ruling relates to the Israeli company’s sale of Iranian oil and withholding the money.

Iran has been conducting three arbitration suits against Israel at French and Swiss courts in a legal tussle estimated worth several billion dollars. The case relates to a joint venture established in 1968 under the defunct shah of Iran to ship the country’s oil to the Israeli port of Eilat in the Mediterranean for export to Europe.

Iran cancelled the contract after the Islamic Revolution of 1979 because the country doesn’t recognize Israel. Tel Aviv, instead, expropriated Iran’s assets and launched its own litigation offensive against the Islamic Republic, which has been dismissed at international courts.

So let me get this straight, this thread was about Iran seizing the Maersk ship by hook or by crook (paraphrasing), than suddenly after it is explained to you, we proceed to name calling and simply making stuff up.

Iran having a ballistic missiles program equals nukes.....ok buddy. You do realize Iranians are not some sub-species of human right? They actually have real doctors and scientists. They even have electricity, running water, schools and court systems. Boats....they have those two! .....including a recently acquired one.

And so there is no confusion, the Iranian nuclear negotiation is not an Iranian nuclear weapons negotiation. Savvy?
