America is not the arbiter of international law. Just because you can bomb people back to the Stone Age, doesn’t make you right. No one agreed to these laws and sanctions.

Learn to think. Unless this is your job. In that case, have a great lunch.
You learn to think.
They literally tried to hide it specifically from the US government. Got busted and got jacked. Get fucked idiot lol
I don’t know how many times I have to say this: **Iran is not bound by US law ** Can Iran just make up laws and apply them to the US? It works both ways. Tomorrow morning, if you see a yellow bus, get on it. Any yellow bus.
THIS IS NOT ONLY IRAN
you think this is the end all be all and it just isn't lmfao shut up
You’re correct. This applies to other countries America is doing this to, like Venezuela. There is a reason they have borders and different names. Because they a law unto themselves. Sovereign.
So Iranians trying to subvert American law is different though? Like they intentionally moved the funds through numerous companies to disguise it. Also using USD, property of the US government.
That has nothing to do with the idea of sovereignty?
Hypocrite.
Russia invaded Ukraine. China is literally waging a genocide. Saudi Arabia murdered Khashoggi in an embassy. Iran literally sprayed live ammunition into crowds last year because their citizens didn't want their rule anymore.
But the US took oil that was meant to fund militant groups who intentionally did things to disguise the transaction because they knew it was illegal.
Sure kiddo
Literally clear as day lol they incriminated themselves by trying to hide the transaction. They even knew what they were doing was illegal, why can't you accept that?
It's an American ship. It's bound by American laws.
The ship is, Iran is not.
While underway, everything that happens aboard that ship is governed by American laws.
If the captain murders one of the crew, they can be tried in the US.
If the crew sell passengers cocaine, they can be tried in the US.
Likewise if the captain and crew transport contraband oil.
Yep
