Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 06/09/20261/25 Good morning - long thread as a lot has happened. CENTCOM has tied the destruction of Iranian tankers to imposing economic costs on Iran. That should concern anyone involved in commercial shipping. A merchant ship and the people aboard it are now being discussed as instruments of punishment. 14720
