4/25 Whether a merchant vessel can lawfully be attacked depends on the applicable rules of armed conflict and the facts. “Earns money for Iran” is not a complete legal explanation. Precautions, civilian protection and the grounds for targeting still matter. Screen shots from IHL Policy.

5/25 For the seafarer, the practical question is immediate. Am I being targeted because of something my ship is doing, or because of who somebody says benefits from its earnings? Those are very different risks to assess before accepting a voyage.

6/25 A crew member does not control the beneficial ownership chain, the charterer's banking arrangements or the eventual use of cargo revenue. Employment aboard a tanker does not make that person responsible for the foreign policy of the country selling its oil.
