An interesting read. It looks like a bit more to it than a case of hijacking - more of the Iranians think it was already their ship because they paid for it.

Let's hope that when oil, and hydrocarbons in general, is a thing of the past these people may have some problems feeding, or even powering themselves.
G'Day cobber!
