The u. S. Will send patriot missiles Radar Systems and 200. 00 soldiers to bolster saudi arabias defenses davids a russian associate professor at the middle east institute but he says in reality the u. S. Isnt sending that many troops its a relatively small the point 200. 00 is roughly a battery so this would be. Affair the sort of thing that we do routinely to protect their fields or things of that nature these sorts of units have been deployed to trouble spots frequently and you know honestly about 6 months ago we moved about the same number of troops out of the gulf to other regions so you could argue theres just were returning the same capability that was there 6 months ago the patriot is designed to defect against protect against Ballistic Missiles which operate in very high up and come very high down the attacks were by drones and cruise missiles which operate at a low level if you defend against one then they have to attack the other but if they are using one method that means you cant drop it so the patriot will help Ballistic Missile defense itll help increase confidence it may allow the saudis to move other weapon systems that have been searching up high to search for cruise missiles and drones but it wont by itself completely stop the possibility that sort of attack we just saw. A former british Prime Minister from Boris Johnsons own policy has attacks the governments position on backs its john major fears Prime Minister johnson d.

Tool that mr johnson could use whereby he could overrule not not doing that however legally speaking that would be incredibly difficult to do there still hasnt been any legal context on earth in which mr johnson would be able to do that without causing a complete our painting of the constitutional system here in the u. K. All along through this mr major also decried mr johnsons very divisive rhetoric the governments using turned on up to say. By using emotional and evocative language can only provoke fear and anger. And few grievances against parliament and the law consider. This. It means this government wishes to win reelection by inciting opposition to the most important state and its freedom. Meanwhile bricks that negotiations are continuing the u. K.

There was yet meaning only im also a parent imagine being in this situation i imagine how the parents feel its all very ugly under the Previous Administration 142 suspects were arrested from that group 53 were released when it was revealed they had confessed well being tortured no one has been convicted for the students disappearance and prosecutors are looking into new leads but in a country that had more than 30000 killings last year the process can be daunting. As investigators have found about 200 planned to stay in burial sites they have recovered 184 bodies 44 of them have been identified again not one of them are the students with disabilities. After nearly a year in Office President and. Has promised to fight corruption many are willing to give his new administration a chance to find out what happened.

A former british Prime Minister from Boris Johnsons own party has attacked the governments position on bracks its john major fears Prime Minister johnson could use what he calls political chicanery to force britain to leave the European Union without a deal and that she want to date stay with us here on aljazeera the news continues after people in power. In june 26th the u. K. Decided to leave the European Union in the aftermath amid acrimonious debate on the exact terms of britains departure questions surfaced about the legitimacy of the referendum that began it all we asked journalist polish ma to investigate now with the brics it saga still mired in Divisive Political wrangling but showing his report again. Last. October 28th seen hundreds of thousands of protesters marched through Central London one of the biggest demonstrations seen in the u. K. Indias aim to get in the 2nd childs to rethink britains proposed exit from the European Union to leave only way to come politics to cover their own behinds by giving us the peoples vote to take so we can actually decide im a. Lot of us think that remaining is a much better idea and trying to reform the European Union make that better broad and running a highly went brits britstown quite. Britains Prime Minister might say the same thing but for a truce of my not quite seen as meant study of faithful to the small majority that voted to leave the e. U. 2 years ago whatever the cost yet what if that vote was tainted what if instead of being. Free of fair reflection of the peoples will the brits it referendum was one of the biggest frauds ever perpetrated on british democracy in any other election if for a lot of they say level had to be uncovered then we have the legislation that puts aside the results and we have the election again as the deadline for britains exit from the e. U. Draws near there are still too many troubling questions about the vote that go under way about its fairness and its legitimacy about who was behind it who would pay for it and the motives of many of those involved. My name is dr paul lashmar im an author and deputy head of journalism at City University of london. Breaks it is a watershed moment for the u. K. Like everyone else my students will be directly affected and look at the mess theyve got that could be one of the most important political events of their lives so ive been looking for answers what ive heard is a story so complex and murky it almost defies belief. Thank you it only began in 2030 to placate a wing of his party that had long being antagonistic to the e. U. Prime minister David Cameron was taking the biggest gamble of his career we will give the british people a referendum with a very simple. Choice. Like all ballots in the u. K. The referendum was to be overseen by the Electoral Commission so anyone could take part in the public debate the Commission Designated 2 official campaign bodies. One of favorite maybe in the e. U. One for leavin and gave each a fixed spending limit of 7000000. 00 pounds. Only british registered donors were allowed to contribute to those campaigns. David cameron became the public face of the pro e. U. Campaign better off we are safer in a reformed European Union vote leave was fronted by the p. M. s cabinet colleagues Boris Johnson and michael go i think we should take the chance now as a country to take back control the probe breaks its side have the backing of another Unofficial Campaign leave. Its most prominent figure was nigel farrar of the u. K. Independence party but camerons plan backfired against all the odds the u. K. Opted for the exit the u. K. Has no teats to leave the European Union. A majority. You know history. In the writing of. The shock on the remains side was profound early hopes of an easy victory dashed how had it gone so horribly wrong. As the postmortems got underway attention began focusing on the role played by social media a powerful tool for sway in Public Opinion to find out more i went to see one of my University Colleagues will be looking at a bracks of debate for a very long time dr marco bastos is a specialist in communications of this is what we call a Network Graph or a plot if he showed me a graph of twitter activity during the referendum strange patterns emerged we noticed a drop in the number of users that we were monitoring it was a significant drop i hadnt seen anything that big up to the point and they turned out that there. He had very much to very much so but like features thoughts of Computer Generated accounts program to automatically push messages online. Whats happening here is that this bot is between a range of real world users this is a single message in all likelihood that was recorded several times by this very same bot marco explained that while bots were used by the remaining campaign it was the leave site that made the most of them that there were more for leave out of the campaign for sure. The figure was quite clear some of my colleagues have looked into similar data and they have come to the conclusion that these accounts war at least a portion of them were operated by Internet Research agency in russia based in some petersburg the Internet Research agency for. Is a troll for an organization created expressly to sow discord in this information on the web it was identified by american intelligence as having played a key role in manipulating the 26th election of President Donald Trump the no one year to the time it now seems that they are also played a role in bricks it. On the death of a friend we found a marked change in behavior so accounts had been intimate tweeting brax it suddenly started to. Edinburgh University Research dr clearly well and has examined millions of tweets that were posted prior to the referendum many of them it turns out from the same suspect Internet Research agency accounts the tweets at the same format which was that hash tag many u. R. L. And they were using that to manage trending topic so that people saw mation and that they were trying to access thats just. What we have here is trolls so its human people writing tweets what they flicked was being. The true scale of the russian twitter activity on brakes it only came to light by accident because the company passed the data to us congressional investigation into the trump election that probe another key social media player facebook was already playing a starring role in this years i covered what is facebook doing to prevent foreign actors from interfering in u. S. Elections one of my greatest regrets in running the company is that we were slow in identifying the russian Information Operations in 2016 and that was a big mistake and it was my mistake and im sorry what no one yet fully understands is the role that facebook may have also played in bricks if the company says it has found almost no evidence of russian interference and repeated that claim in a statement to this program but research was skeptical but facebook is basically a black box so we dont really know whats going on inside facebook. And thats not just facebook thats the instagram what and a number of other platforms operated by. The fact that doubts persist is jus in part of the companys connection to another murky affair. In early twenties the Guardian Newspaper revealed that 87000000 personal Facebook Accounts had been illegally harvested by a u. K. Based Strategic Communications business called Cambridge Analytical it worked with the trump president ial campaign and had ties to leave the go and offshoot of a Larger Company called s c l which had an alleged background in military dissin from ation Cambridge Analytic as promised was that it could target people with messages to modify their voting choices so for a highly erratic and conscientious audience youre going to need a message that is rational and fear based or emotionally based the Cambridge Analytical scandal would eventually wind almost 120000000000. 00 off of facebooks market value and raise serious questions about the vulnerability of western democracies to manipulation. To find out more i went to meet the journalist behind the guardians Cambridge Alice a can scoop her account walter told me how she 1st began to pull the threads together it started when in order to confirm the data companys links that leave you you she contacted the Campaign Group spokesman and you went more andy right back and he said happy to clarify came originally she did do work for us but we never paid them they were happy to do it for free and i was like theres definitely Something Interesting here because this looks like a donation to me and donations need to be declared. Champion for art in front of the golden left and hes the person who took that photo. And in the face of the more hes in one as well the bad boys it breaks it and breaks it he said it was like a petri dish for the charm campaign. You know it was like a test case carols revelations led to the biggest Data Protection investigation ever held on both sides of the atlantic we started a conversation with Mr Zuckerberg he was gentle that it can start to identify mental vulnerabilities in voters and work to exploit them by targeting information designed to activate some of the worst characteristics in people chris wiley a former director of Cambridge Analytic turned whistleblower gave evidence to the u. S. Senate and a British Parliamentary Committee that began taking an interest in the brakes at referendum and fake news the definition of a conversion so were going to say that i had to do these institutions you know she did you personally after the referendum might have been different i think its completely reasonable to say that there could be a difference in the wrestling. You know had there not been in my view. There needs to be a deeper investigation of the of fake accounts and a group of facebook groups being used to propagate information conservative m. P. Damian collins is the chairman of the British Parliamentary Committee weve had evidence from facebook we feel that we should hear from Mark Zuckerberg because he buys into mr hes the person who decides what happens at facebook there are still big concerns are faced with not done enough to investigate the role of fake accounts theyve not been transparent on the issue of data breaches and user data and they got in the hands of people who shouldnt have it. Fake accounts russian trolls data mining complicated stuff and none of it doing much to quell my fears that there was something unpleasant lurking in the bricks that undergrowth but i barely scratched the surface next up was another whistleblower this time someone whod worked for the official Vote Leave Campaign i was working with of some of the top advisor. In the country you know constantly seeing Boris Johnson michael gove you know some of the most influential politicians in britain. Recent graduate sharmas join vote leave in early 2016 and was asked to engage with ethnic minorities but weve understood that they couldnt just win on white votes they understood that they couldnt win on like people that he immigrants. He was tasked with working with one of the official campaigns reach groups called believe it was led by a Young Fashion student i met Darren Grimes in the 1st week that i joined there was one of the one of the few Outreach Groups that was very focused on the liberal progressive message but some he says he later realised the official Vote Leave Campaign another purpose in mind for the young volunteers to circumvent the legally binding Electoral Commission spending limits of understood that they had a spending cap so they needed to find a way affectively to breach that spending cap its also a good idea was told that vote leave had found a way of getting the believe Outreach Group some new Campaign Money but there was Strings Attached effectively vote leave advised us to create it ourselves it was separate Campaign Groups so that they could give us almost 700000 pounds to spend but they gave it on a condition they gave on a condition saying the only way that they can give it to us is if we give it to a i q which was a Digital Company working at. A i q well i got the i. Q. As its sometimes known is a canadian based data business it works on us president ial primaries in 2015 with s. C. L. Elections cambridge i love the tickers Parent Company literally a week before referendum day we were spending hundreds of 1000 pounds a day. On a q yeah a day the money was sent directly from vote leave to q it never touched be back accounts sunnys disquieted these events later turned him into a whistleblower he passed his evidence to the Electoral Commission and in july 28th they find locally 61000 pounds for among other things breaching the spending rules the founder of believe down crimes was fined 20000 pounds he is now appealing that decision. But theres other stories involving strange sums of Campaign Funding that havent yet been as adequately explained. Belfast Northern Ireland one of the poorest parts of the u. K. Which has benefited the most from e. U. Investment for many here theres long been concern that breaks its effects on cross border relations with the Irish Republic could mean a return to the dark days of the troubles so when a small local Political Party received 8435000 pound donation to the brics it campaign the largest in the partys history eyebrows would raise why he was a Northern IrishPolitical Party being so involved you know in the referendum in Great Britain in england and scotland back in 2016 investigative journalist peter keegan was shocked when he saw a proto leave 1st assignment in a local english newspaper the ad was sponsored by else the Democratic Unionist Party do you pete. For them is a huge sum of money so theyre spending it on a on a piece of material thats not going to circulate norden in ordinary little him at all the single efforts isman cost the day you paid 282000 pounds almost 5 times as much as they had spent on their participation in the u. K. Is general election the Previous Year but no one knew from where the money had come to pay for it. Ordinarily these unusual laws there are secrecy of political donations when ordinary and you didnt reveal the names of political donors and the reason for this was kind of a hangover from the troubles the violence in ordinarily. The loophole was used by the dea u. P. S. Shadowy benefactor to hide their identity finally after intense media pressure the d. C. U. Revealed the money had come from a body called the Constitutional Research council or c r c but exactly who or what lies behind the c. R. C. Remains to be seen do you know where the constitutional search came to get its money from you not asked the Constitutional Research here saying you dont know any other i believe that they have released their money legitimately under we were delighted to receive the donation from that im so you believe that it really meant you have to know that leakage yet and we do you know theyre into it and certain say only in the colonies what useful Research Council would publish where they do their fundraising not as a matter for them not the deed the constitution Research Council is jargony term its called noncorporate association it means they dont have to follow Company Accounts they dont have time to dress and because of the donor secrecy laws in order and we dont they dont have to tell us who they are they dont have to tell us where they got the money from but the Democratic Unionist Party is supposed to be completely sure it has checked out where this money came from of the money is the justice we also asked the day you paid what do diligence it had on the true source of the money Spokes Person told us the Electoral Commission has raised no issues in relation to the d u p Campaign Including did donation which came from a permissible donor who in turn are themselves regulated by the Electoral Commission. Interesting lay the do you piece spent another slice of the mysterious donation on the services of agric i q the same data company to which boat leave sent money when illegally circumventing the u. K. s strict referendum spend in law. Was the d. P. Did not declare that they were working with anybody to say that they were working poorly on their own yet they spent money with the exact same companies of for at least part money which despite these curious circumstances the u. K. s Electoral Commission has said that it does not have sufficient grounds to open an investigation the d u p had broken the lord had committed a criminal offense q. C. Joe mole is a director of the Good Law Project a body now challenging the commissions decision not to investigate the law is very very clear to protect out of mark received from foreign interference those him except donations have a clear positive obligation to look at and to understand who is giving the money so its the faintly story all over again. Since the breaks that referendum questions about the mysterious donors and the socalled dark money have continued to surface. Journalist peter jukes focused his attention on the biggest political donor in you case history insurance mogul banks. Allegedly he transferred more than 8000000 pounds in loans and donations to leave you and other breaks in campaigns the been face questions about how banks can afford this because theres no visible means of support is not a wealthy man has a big house but has 8500000 pound mortgage on a summer house donated 9000000 pounds at least to leaving the e. U. Whenever questioned banks has been evasive about the true source of his wealth is reticent troubles m. P. Damian collins chairman of the British Parliamentary Select Committee investigating disinform ation and fake news the reason these questions around our backs and money persisted we keep being told different stories we keeping told well he sold this business in the money came from that sale but it turns out there was no real profit made on that sale or it came from these mines or it came from somewhere else and it never makes sense but what really concerns investigators are the multiple meetings mr banks is known to have held with russian officials in london in the months running up to the referendum why would he be meeting in the breaks that so many meetings meet turned out if youre talking about levy u. S. Officials and russian you know Embassy Staff 11 or 12. And im up to press one earth why are the russians dangling lucrative office to british Businessman Bank falling back since you have to ask the question did for money make into the Rights Campaign in june 28th aaron banks and his Business Partner and 2 more appear before a Parliamentary Committee but he left before the m. P. s were able to fully question him hes misled parliament and the public not only about his own financial activities but also the frequency of his contacts with the Russian Embassy here in london in november 28th the Electoral Commission referred our own banks to the National Crime agency on suspicion that there is criminal offenses may have been committed banks declined to answer questions but he has consistently denied receiving money from russia and dismisses other claims as ludicrous the case is ongoing in the form of government minister bradshaw believes a full inquiry into the referendum is long overdue he wants an investigation similar to the miller probe into alleged collusion between russia and the trump president ial campaign is its very embarrassing for our government Fran Townsend services to look flat footed like this and to leave it to an american political and congressional process to reveal the truth about what happened in britain. Over in brussels de facto capital of the union reps it is want to leave many think the truth is already out there i went to meet sajid kerim a leading u. K. Conservative member of the European Parliament he lays responsibility for the brics it mess squarely at the fate of russian president Vladimir Putin a weakening of the European Union is in his interests it is is aimed it is his goal im afraid we are on the verge of. Delivering that for him today i dont think brits and certainly many of the europeans have actually understood to what extent their lives are about to change. Unless our governments including my government in the United Kingdom take the step of investigating and protecting our democracy today. It wasnt the only warning about russian meddling i heard in brussels russia is responsible for 80 percent of the information actually says even 80 percent as a European Commission conference of electoral interference former nato secretary general Anders Rasmussen was giving a stark warning of the threat europe faces over the past 2 years foreign interference has been detected in at least 10 elections and occurrence on both sides of the atlantic. Rest most and says was surely one of russias targets but i have no doubt and i think we have evidence that they interfere so i think the lesson. Is that we should focus on preventing this from happening in the future. Back in britain the endless political rally over bricks it was rolling on but always about half implemented rather than the legitimacy of the referendum that got it going. I began this film with questions about the brics a referendum that urgently needed answers what ive heard has only creased those concerns. As britains departure from the e. U. Draws ever closer im left with one chilling thought were we here in britain jute into making one of the worst political decisions in our history if you win a campaign or a referendum or an election based on breaking the law then it is a democratic to lie its a scam to cheat. In september 2900. 00 Londons Metropolitan Police announced they will be taking no. No further action against the leave e. U. Campaign for spending offenses in the backseat referendum despite accepting that it broke the law the National Crime agency has also said it will be taking no further action on these matters against leave e. U. Foreign banks and others. To strengthen the good you have to shoulder good all the more with your calm still fight against corruption.

And im santa how most with the sport live from dell has a lethal stadium where the opening advent of the world athletics championships get underway in just under half an hour but the highlight of fridays schedule is the other night math and along the bill has waterfront. Demonstrators have taken to the streets of egypt calling for president sisi to step down and protests have spread to various cities these pictures are from antigovernment protests just outside of cairo cafes and shops open shots and football matches councils as security is tightens across the country well progovernment counterdemonstrations of also taking place just outside cairo right script say more than 2000 people from last weeks demonstrations are believed to have been detained but egypt says that number is closer to 1000 were Human Rights Watch says the government may have conducted the most sweeping arrests since late 2013 after landing in cairo sisi dismissed the planned demonstrations. But. This is a fantastic country where everything goes as planned i dont want to listen to those who dont like egypt dont deal with them because they are trying to draw a bad picture about our country there are a lot of lies and distortion. An image that is totally untrue. While Muhammad Musri joins me now on set sees an associate professor of media and Cultural Studies at the door institutes graduate studies great to get your thoughts here on aljazeera just start by setting the scene for us voice behind these protests that were seeing on the streets well theres been a lot of discontent and anger directed at c. C. Really for the past several years you obviously came to power via military coup a lot of brute force many people were killed on protesters massacred in the streets there were mass death sentences mass arrests rape and torture a ramp rampant in the prison system so people are angry most recently theres a lot of economic discontent because he sees economic policies of largely failed and egypts poverty rate continues to rise exponentially muhammad ali is a former military contractor hes an insider and he started releasing videos alleging gross government corruption just within the last few weeks and so those videos have been really the most recent. Instigators i guess you could say for these for these protests and that what were seeing weve heard from a Human Rights Watch saying this is the biggest cracks and really since 2013 seen hundreds if not thousands over arrests do you think this is likely just to tear the protestors. Well theres certainly a climate of fear the regime was born out of protest they have a lot of experience dealing with protests and theyve used as i said brute force to intimidate people so people are rightfully quite scared to go out into the streets the people that we are seeing and you should youve been showing some of the videos people that we are seeing go out into the streets are quite literally risking their lives protests are illegal in egypt and protesters have been killed on mass by this by this government this is the 1st serious. The protest movement that weve seen emerge under sisi really since the beginning of his of his presidency he became president obviously in 2014 will just have to wait and see to what extent people are willing to continue to brave the conditions in the streets were getting reports that the government has threatened lethal force theyve already started to disperse some of the demonstrations and theyre using violence given these the these threats of 0 tolerance you could say what would you think the chances are that sisi could write the say that he could still cling on despite these protests since he has complete control of all the state institutions hes a dictator in the truest sense hes an authoritarian he has consolidated all forms of power at the entire deep state is with him so certainly overcoming all of that is quite a challenge i would say that the stacks the odds are probably stacked against the protesters on the other hand if we see a mass protest the kind the kind that we saw in 2011 against former dictator Hosni Mubarak and if the protests are sustained then shes going to have a very difficult time dealing with them well just have to wait and see charo back inside of course we saw the uprising in 2011 but also in 2030 there were protests with protests on both sides now we are seeing that there are protests that are against sisi but also there are process which are in favor of the president so what can you tell us about these protests or sisi arrived back in cairo this morning and he called for he called for his supporters to go out and support him centrally in the streets this is not new to him he did the same thing back in 2013 when he asked for a tough week he asked for a mandate from the people he was embarrassed quite frankly in 2013 when there were so many thousands of egyptians protesting against him and against the military coup that he called for these mass protests in favor of his rule and thats what hes doing again now and today. In the short speech that he gave at the airport he threatened to bring his supporters out in the millions calling him in support in support of his role ok well well keep an eye on those protests both for and against sisi but for now Mohamed El Masry great to get your thoughts thanks very much indeed for your analysis lets turn to other news now iran has released a british tanker that it detained 2 months ago in the strait of hormuz the center and piro is no in International Waters the seizure of the ship in july further escalated tensions in the gulf vessel started transmitting its location though for 1st time in weeks now the stand and piro left irans of sports for it was taken after being seas according to the voices news agency the ship has set its destination as ports rush eads in the United Arab Emirates irans revolutionary guard seized the ship see months ago terence said it had violated maritime rules but its owner says the company isnt aware of any formal charges it was detained just weeks after the British Military seized an Iranian Oil Tanker in gibraltar real lets head to our correspondents in basra because life resent seron as saying what more can you tell us about this ship. Well hala as we speak it is very likely according to the reports weve been hearing all morning that the stem pair o. Is now in International Waters and more than likely closer to the coast of the United Arab Emirates now than it is to the coast of iran and that will no doubt come as a relief to the remaining crew members on board to the owners of the vessel this morning after its release was announced by the iranian government the owner of stan imperio a british flag vessel owned by stan a bald came out and said that they were expecting it to be in International Waters by 10 g. M. T. And that they had well prepared security in place for once they would receive the vessel into International Waters and that really is a signal that many shipping companies especially those with whom especially those that have flags or are bearing flags of countries with whom iran may have some disagreement they are concerned about navigating these waterways about navigating the strait of hormuz and the waterways in and around iran Southern Coast and to that effect we heard from the British Foreign office shortly after the news of the vessels release in it the Foreign Office said that the seizure was unlawful that it was part of a pattern of attempts by irans government to try to block and disrupt International Navigation through those waterways and that they are working with their International Partners to try to deal with this issue certainly something iran will not like to hear it will would have liked to have seen this move being taken on by the International Community as a reasonable solution to a problem that was achieved through dialogue but this very hawkish statement coming from the Foreign Office shortly after the release of this vessel. And say lets sense another issue thats been circling around iran and thats the issue of these sanctions president rouhani back home after its hands in the u. N. General assembly and hes hes made some comments about the u. S. Sanctions on his country what work each. Yes thats correct president Hassan Rouhani returning of course after attending the u. N. General assembly this year in new york now many people saw the taking of the pair as a reaction as a retaliation for ongoing sanctions iran has said in the past that if it cannot sell its own oil nobody will be able to do so so people really saw this seizure as a retaliation for an iranian vessel being taken a few weeks earlier by British Forces that gibraltar and as a retaliation to on going all sanctions by the United States now something very interesting that president Hassan Rouhani said upon his return speaking from her about International Airport into iran he addressed a host of issues but one thing that will certainly make iranians sit up and take notice is that he said that the United States offered to list all sanctions on iran for bilateral talks with iran now that sounds very exciting it sounds like that could be a real breakthrough but the way in which irans government or president rouhani said he reacted to this idea really tells us of the trust gap between those 2 countries he said that america offered to lift those sanctions but they werent sure how those negotiations might go but they cannot trust any offer by the United States in a poisonous environment of maximum pressure and sanctions and so they did not take this offer seriously ok same to strive for their life or a sense aaron thanks very much indeed. Well phil giancana is a partner at dry a global a Maritime Security risk. He says that shipping would make iran more isolated. 1st you have to remember this is good news for shipping overall having the tank released after 70 days with its crew onboard theyll no doubt be relieved to be heading to a more friendly environment where theyll no doubt change a crew out before the us all goes on to continue as normal operations we have to consider the fact that this would never likely have happened had the u. K. Not attained the grace one in the 1st place the irans meddling with International Shipping doesnt serve its overall case it brings potentially on the ire of the world because of the nature of shipping these are International Ships with International Interests international cargoes doesnt necessarily serve its bigger agenda so does it in a whats the implication implication is effectively iran would wants to release this vessel to take the our eye on
