  2. Trump wants a cut of every ship's cargo passing through the Strait of Hormuz: 20 percent, in exchange for U.S. military protection. It runs into a Congress-holds-the-tariff-power problem, a maritime law problem, and an awkward echo of the "socialism" Trump keeps warning voters about.

    Trump's Hormuz toll plan would charge ships 20 percent of cargo value for U.S. protection, raising legal, constitutional, and international law questions.

    “This is yet another extreme escalation and a blatant violation of international maritime and humanitarian law by the genocidal apartheid state of Israel.”

    The operation to seize the fleet of boats took place hundreds of kilometres away from the Israeli coast...

  7. It remains unclear, he added, how the #US would track, intercept & board vessels moving from #Iran #ports through the strait.

    Any US or Iranian attempt to choke off the waterway would run counter to the principle of freedom of navigation, said Mercogliano, who has testified before the US Senate on commercial shipping & written for the US Naval Institute.

    “We are challenging the concept of freedom of the seas,” Mercogliano said.

  8. The notice added that transit through the strait “to or from non-Iranian destinations is not reported to be impeded by these measures,” but it added that ships “may encounter military presence” in the strait.

    The coming days could be a stress test for the #StraitOfHormuz & for the rules that are supposed to govern it, according to Sal Mercogliano, a maritime historian at Campbell University.

  9. If #MobyDick has taught me anything, it's that #sailors are #gay, #GayMarriage was always legal under #MaritimeLaw, and whaling ships are just big gay orgies, and that's why they don't want women there to tempt them into being straight.

    This is simply a straightforward reading of the text. If you don't like it, maybe you don't like classic #American #Literature. 🇺🇸 📖 🫡

  10. UK armed forces and law enforcement are now permitted to board vessels associated with Russia's "Shadow Fleet" navigating British waters. #UKSecurity #MaritimeLaw

  11. #Russia hasn’t commented on the apparent #US operation against the Russian-flagged #OilTanker. In a statement issued on Tuesday to the state news agency #Tass, the Russian Foreign Ministry said the vessel was operating in full compliance with international #MaritimeLaw, & said it was receiving increased attention from the US & #NATO “disproportionate to its peaceful status.”

  12. It retrospect, I may have been wrong with my conclusion in my 7th grade essay about whether “ignorance was bliss.”

    This is a really frustrating time to know even a little bit about international law and maritime law.

    “So the Metropolitan Police and DPP [Director of Public Prosecutions] have an obligation to investigate and act over the abduction of persons from UK flagged vessels on the High Seas.”

    “This applies to each flag state mutatis mutandi.”

    Craig Murray, former head of the maritime section at the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office

  14. Not only did the IDF board a boat in INTERNATIONAL WATERS, but they also went on to SEIZE SAID BOAT and bring it into port at Israel, which is akin to KIDNAPPING, FYI. THEN, authorities TRIED TO GET THE PASSENGERS TO SIGN A DOCUMENT SAYING THEY WERE IN ISRAEL ILLEGALLY BEFORE DEPORTING THEM?!? cbc.ca/news/world/israel-freed #WTF #UNITEDNATIONS #MARITIMELAW #GRETA

  15. Well here's a thing.

    "Don't tell me anything I don't want to hear" does not seem to be an acceptable working practice for a Minister of the Crown.
