ASPHALT PRINCESS is now underway to Iran.

Big question now is whether the concerned governments do anything to stop it. IMO the sooner the better.

WTF is their endgame here?

It seems like they're just trying to piss everybody off without any real other purpose.

A few well armed mercs on each ship would solve this problem.

Plainly that’s not true or there would be a historical example.

New Iranian president setting the tone? The bigger internal issues they experience, the more the regime starts shit abroad it seems.

The previous hijacking was about money being held due to sanctions.

Not saying this incident will cause WW3, because I don't, but you perpetuating that this is only Panama's problem is silly.

they should form a 'Kick Iran's Ass for the Rest of the Year Every Chance We Get Coalition'. India's army is pretty big but I don't know about the quality of their troops. They seem to get their asses handed to them by the Chinese all the time. Panama uses M-16s. So magic bullet death.

What's silly is that the West allows this tax and regulation dodge of flags of convenience, but when there is a problem, its the West's tax money and militaries being called to deal with things.

I agree 100%. You want your merchant ships to enjoy the protections of the USN? Then your ship better damn well be flying the Stars and Stripes off it’s stern and have a crew of American merchant Mariners.

Let the Panamanian navy protect their country’s flagged ships.

IMO every nation should use it's warships to stop piracy on the high seas.    Find them.   Hunt them down.  Kill them.  Repeat until done.

I’d generally agree with the bolder part if not for the ongoing shitstorm resulting from the drone attack last week.  That’s an interesting variable in this situation.
