UK agency warns of 'potential hijack' off UAE coast as 5 ships report losing control

To become a regional power and defend itself nukes are needed.
So UAE wants to be regional power with NO capable ground forces? i respect that- Have a "strong" military like US, that will only fight from air and lose every war. Hey, UAE has enough $$$ to cover that.
But u remember January 2020 and the Ukrainian flight.

Maybe twisted American are seeking the same atmosphere, to deceive Iranian antimissiles operators with jamming, GPS Spoofing, ADS-B Spoofing, ACARS Spoofing to make them fire weapons agaisnt civilian by error.
you know, this is a unique idea that is possible, because i NEVER UNDERSTOOD why Iran would want to down that flight, especailly knowing how hurt Iran still is from that passenger flight of its own in the 70s that US shot out of the Persian Gulf.

Ground forces need work to match the air forces capability I agree but they arent as weak as you think.

UAE lost very few Leclercs and BMP-3s what you are seeing is Yemeni or Saudi operated MRAPs being destroyed.

US generals have praised UAE ground forces over the Saudi's but commented that they are too small to fight in both Syria and Yemen during the 2014-15 phase where America wanted the GCC to fight daesh.
 
fake news no ship got hijack...
bro this issue is escalating between UK, US, ISrael AND Iran....i think the hijacking was real. Iran seems very "hungry"atm for these types of retaliations, dunno why.
 
Aww zionists have their balls aching so they need to come up with non sense left right and center
 
If UK is hacking UAE-webs and sending fake AIS spoofed positions to blame Iran, then Emirates should change of international partners.
 
Now BBC is covering. Things have escalated dramatically in the last few days.

Iran is inviting a collective US, UK, Israel, & Gulf response with its immature actions.

if you have the balls, bring it on. US already handed off "leading the response" to UK...which doesnt even
make Iran lose sleep.

US, UK and ISrael military are PAPER TIGERS. cuz white man WONT DIE FOR ANYTHING.

British paper says London working on assumption that 'Iranian military or proxies' boarded Asphalt Princess vessel in area off Fujairah Emirate, whose dock is currently hosting Israeli-managed tanker hit last week in UAV attack that West has blamed on Iran

Britain's maritime trade agency warned Tuesday of a "potential hijack" underway off the coast of the United Arab Emirates after at least five ships in the area said that they had lost control of their steering.


It wasn't immediately clear what was happening off the coast of the Fujairah Emirate in the Gulf of Oman, days after an Israeli-managed oil tanker was attacked in the same area.

The Times of London reported Tuesday evening that British sources believe the Asphalt Princess vessel had been hijacked and were "working on the assumption Iranian military or proxies boarded" the ship.

Fujairah dock is currently hosting MV Mercer Street, the tanker involved in the attack that killed two crew members - a Briton and a Romanian. The United States, Israel and Britain said Iran was behind the attack.

The five vessels announced via their Automatic Identification System trackers that they were "not under command," according to MarineTraffic.com.

That typically means a vessel has lost power and can no longer steer. One of them later began moving.

The ships broadcast their warnings at around the same time as the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), which is part of the Royal Navy, advised vessels to exercise extreme caution in the area some 61 nautical miles east of Fujairah.

It provided no details regarding the vessel or vessels involved.

The U.S. military's Mideast-based 5th Fleet and the British Defense Ministry did not immediately return calls for comment. The Emirati government did not immediately acknowledge the incident.

The ships — four of which have been identified as oil tankers called Queen Ematha, Golden Brilliant, Jag Pooja and Abyss — announced around the same time via their automatic identification system trackers that they were "not under command," according to MarineTraffic.com.

This usually means that the ship has lost its power and is no longer able to steer.

Something is cooking against Iran. Biden is planning something nasty.
 
I guess we shall see who is correct in the future Clutch.

I'll set a reminder for 10 years lets hope both of us are alive at the time.

I don't think we need to wait that long to realize that Israel and the West will never tolerate an Arab with nukes.
 


UK using lies about a UAE ship to punish Iran, that could escalate in a war between Iran and GCC.

GCC should punish UK, even thinking a part of UAE state know what happened yesterday, that confusing stupid things could lead to a error in others parts of UAE state or Iran state and make civilian innocent lives losses, like Ukrainian flight in 2020 January.
