Luka Taban, dragulj na zapadu provincije Hormozgan

Prelijepo selo Taban, koje se prostire duž obala Perzijskog zaljeva, pokazuje duh života na ovom udaljenom mjestu iranske provincije Hormozgan. Ovo historijsko mjesto je smješteno na najzapadnijoj tački provincije. Prekrasne Marsovske planine uz obalu i valovi koji dolaze iz Perzijskog zaljeva sa kamenitim plažama udvostručili su ljepotu ovog mjesta. (balkanin.net)

The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) seized a commercial ship in international waters in the Gulf on July 6, the U.S. Navy said, adding that the vessel was possibly involved in smuggling activity.

"U.S. naval forces deployed maritime assets to closely monitor the situation," U.S. Fifth Fleet spokesman Commander Tim Hawkins said.

The Navy's central command "assessed the circumstances of this event did not warrant further response," he added.

The U.S. Navy said on July 5 that it had intervened to prevent Iran from seizing two commercial tankers in the Gulf of Oman.

It said that, in both cases, the Iranian naval vessels backed off after the U.S. Navy responded to distress signals, and that both commercial ships continued their voyages.

“The Iranian Navy did make attempts to seize commercial tankers lawfully transiting international waters,” said Hawkins. “The U.S. Navy responded immediately and prevented those seizures.”

Iran said it had obtained a court order for the seizure of the Richmond Voyager tanker after it collided with an Iranian vessel.

It was the latest in a series of attacks on ships in the area since 2019.

The U.S. Navy said in a statement that the first report came at 1 a.m. when one Iranian naval vessel approached the Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker TRF Moss. The Iranian vessel departed the scene when the U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer USS McFaul arrived, it said.

About three hours later, the U.S. Navy received a distress call from the Bahamian-flagged oil tanker Richmond Voyager while the ship was about 30 kilometers off the coast of Oman. Another Iranian naval vessel had closed within 2 kilometers of the Richmond Voyager while hailing the tanker to stop.

The McFaul directed course toward Richmond Voyager at maximum speed as the tanker continued its transit, the Fifth Fleet said.

"Prior to McFaul’s arrival on scene, Iranian personnel fired multiple, long bursts from both small arms and crew-served weapons," the statement said. "Richmond Voyager sustained no casualties or significant damage. However, several rounds hit the ship’s hull near crew living spaces. The Iranian Navy vessel departed when McFaul arrived."

U.S. oil company Chevron confirmed to Reuters that it managed the Richmond Voyager, that its crew was safe, and that the vessel was operating normally.

Iran’s state media cited the Maritime Search and Rescue Center of Hormozgan Province in the country’s south as saying in a statement that Iran had obtained a court order for the seizure of the Richmond Voyager after it collided with an Iranian vessel carrying seven crew members.

Five people were seriously injured in the collision, the IRINN news agency said, citing the statement.

The United States in May increased the rotation of ships and aircraft patrolling the Strait of Hormuz with its partners following an uptick in Iranian merchant vessel seizures, the Fifth Fleet said.

hey, i think its worth noting that the “collective for black iranians” is not based in iran nor does it really do much work at all with black iranians in iran, it’s mostly a diaspora blog which like other liberal expat media has poured all its time and attention recently into the jina amini protests. the “lead historian” of the collective is a non-black diaspora girl who does research for US institutions about iranian slavery. the whole thing is very liberal and ill considered

good things to note, thanks! i should clarify that i'm not under any illusions that the collective is somehow a critical site of organization. i've followed them on instagram for a while and most of the work they do is art and art promotion—although, to be fair to them, some of that promotion is of artists in iran (especially out of southern iran e.g. bandar abbas/gamron). but yeah, "diaspora blog" is a fair characterization

it's true that the most recent wave of jin, jiyan, azadi protests stemming from jina emini's killing should not be the sole end of organizing but again, i take the collective's focus on them as less of a damning indictment of wrongdoing and more a litmus test of their lukewarm goals. i do think there's some value to a platform like theirs distributing news and information from kurdistan, balochistan, azarbaijan, and hormozgan to a mostly diaspora audience. even if the really nationalist diaspora persians are never gonna see it.

i've read baghoolizadeh's dissertation and a few other of her writings and yeah. i think she's done helpful research viz. cataloguing and consolidating information that can be hard to come by, and the three-phase analysis of slavery she gives in her dissertation is a useful tool, if not particularly deep. but i'm not impressed by her critical work and i agree that it's firmly within the boundaries of the liberal academic institutions she's in. i don't have high hopes for her upcoming book and her role as "lead historian" is a little laughable.

so yes, very good notes, thank you! always important to keep perspective.
