Crude oil trading is essentially flat right now. In the red just a bit, actually.

A group of eight or nine armed individuals are believed to have boarded the vessel, named Asphalt Princess, the security source told Sky News .......... "It was an unauthorised boarding in the Gulf of Oman," the security source said. There is no British link to the tanker, however a spokesman for the UK's foreign office said: "We are urgently investigating an incident on a vessel off the UAE coast." It comes as the Associated Press reported that at least four vessels sent out warnings saying they had lost control of their steering. Iran's foreign ministry said reports of an incident were "suspicious", but warned against any attempts to make a "false atmosphere" against Tehran. ............. It follows a suspected drone attack on the Mercer Street vessel, which has been blamed on Iran by the United States, UK and Israel. British special forces are assisting in the investigation into what happened aboard the Israeli-linked ship last week. The Mercer Street is Japanese owned, but was sailing with a Liberian Flag. Zodiac Maritime, the UK firm that manages the vessel, is part of Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer's Zodiac Group. The incident left a British security guard aboard the vessel and a Romanian crew member dead. View Quote |

We really should find some justification to give their government pirate ships a bad bloody nose. "We kindly ask you don't board any more ships, or we will be forced to again to run down and sink the iran boats as they try to get away, and set the survivors adrift in lifeboats. We apologize for any inconvenience." Something like that.
