Wonder if it has anything to do with that apocalypse thing Ahmadinejad is planning us. :laugh:

WTF, they can't just do that for no reason.

I guess Iran wanted to show how badass their commandos are, capturing an oil rig from a bunch of unarmed and scared Romanians.

Oh yes they can. The West is weak, divided and long ago lost any sense of survival. The Iranians can do whatever they god damn please.

Here's another link.

Don't worry, I'm sure a retroactive-Fatwa will justify this action.

apparently,this romanian company sub-contracted its services to another company which didn`t pay for exploration rights expecting probably a blockade or a war.
what is amazing is that romanian authorities can`t contact anyone in Iran because they a have a major religios holiday,so nobody is working.
but still firing on civilians.... :roll:

Here's another.
Supposedly it is due a financial dispute with the company, yet I must say it's a pretty extravagant action to carry out; makes you think whether the upcoming UNSC deadline has anything to do with it.

Wonderful.

Nothing like stirring bellicose and anti-Iranian, anti-Muslim feelings in a country soon due to join the European Union...

 

[Kyanzes]

I can't see anything wrong with that. It's a Romanian oil rig after all..

If this was a Kazahk oil rig Borat would be there to regulate in short order.

Romania should retaliate by doing fly overs and dropping soap and deoderant on them.

I thought that was the home of camelmile soap.

I for one am glad to see Iran doing something positive in the middle east. taking a leadership role . Setting the example!!

 

[ayabe]

I thought they were a peace-loving nation that doesn't bully others around, at least that's what I got from the Mike Wallace interview.

Maybe they needed the extra oil since they will soon stop their research on nuclear technology for civilian energy purposes.

The US Navy kills Somalian pirates. What's the difference?

 

[LEDominator]

The Somolians are pirates... The Romanians had a contract to use the Oil Rig...

& the world does nothing. Yet again.

What does Iran have a nuclear bomb that we gave them in the 1970s? I do not get it.

I honestly am starting to believe that someone in the U.S allowed Iran to have a nuclear weapon in the early 1970s. of course this is probably not true, but Iran has been getting away with everything for yearss.

They spit in the U.S's face and the U.S just cleans it off without a punch back.
