Lol the only link to Israel is that some Israeli mogul is partially owning the ship.
This is getting pathetic..if someone should be mad it is the Portuguese which had their national flag waving on the top of the ship and the Philippines which directly got hurt in this cowardly attack.
An official X (Twitter) account of Iran posted “1:20” two days ago, presumably hinting about the time of this “operation” (in Israeli time).

The ship had no Israelis on it, just 20 poor Filipinos. Iran is a joke.
Dude, uncool
A ship sailing with the Portuguese flag, going from the UAE to India. The crew had workers from Philippines.
The connection to Israel? Well, the ship belongs to Zodiac Maritime, a company owned by an Israeli. But both him and the company are based in Monaco.
Wtf.
This is not the Houthis or some other proxy doing some shit. [It’s the actual Iranian navy kidnapping a ship.](https://twitter.com/manniefabian/status/1779094835036561486?t=u7qlDP0LolBebn0j7DI8OA&s=19)
What are they thinking!? They are getting everyone involved…
Mau! Don’t fick with the Portuguese! We’ll fick Iranians wherever they stand…
Iran and russia need to be dealt with quickly
The ship is registered in Madeira Island (Portugal), under a handful of sub-owners ( a common scheme). I dont understand how the portuguese government allows this sort of operations.
Iran being uncivilized like china and russia
After Hamas killed all the Israeli hostages, they’re in dire need for some new human shields.
poor Filipino crew, would probably end up like the Galaxy Leader crew

I’m wondering if this was the “big attack” they were threatening for literal days
So iran decided to play pirates now? Didnt they promised revenge?
What a joke they are.
Whoa boy, they’re even dumber than they appear..
What was on the ship’s manifest?
News: Iran takes a ship!
Me: Damn, again? I feel sorry for the crew and-…
News: A Portuguese ship.
Me (a Portuguese): … Gentlemen, revive [Afonso de Albuquerque](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afonso_de_Albuquerque)… May him finish the job he left unfinished in the 1500’s
MSC not MCS
massive optics failure for Iran, whole world waiting for them to attack Israel and they…. take a ship full of flippinos
So they took over a ship partly owned by an Israeli that use the flag of another country, to not pay taxes in Israel.
LMAO
Minimum connection to Israel… pissing off some other countries. Wow, this is the stupidest revenge move ever.
Loading up on Pasteis de Bacalhau, time for Reconquista 2, guess they didn’t learn their lesson.
As a Filipino, this effing sucks. Our sailors just wanna work and provide for their families and are roped into this sht. I can’t.
So brave attacking a commercial ship .
The US kill Qasem Soleimani, and the Iranians shoot down a Ukrainian passenger airliner. The Israelis kill a senior Quds force commander, and the Iranians hijack a Portuguese ship. You can’t make this level of incompetence up.
Great attack Iran /s
The funny part here is that the Ofer family (the billionaire partial owners) are pretty hated in Israel. Made their money stealing public resources.
Imagine if some terror group “destroyed” the US by bombing a Tesla dealership in Sweden.
Of all the things they could do Iran decides to fuck with boats? Really? Do they want operation Praying Mantis 2?
Don’t mess with the boats, Iran! [You think they’d know this by now…](https://youtu.be/5ihmIxZtMBQ?si=l1X_32sBkEtjm8iN)
If they were smart, they’d give them a trojan vessel.
2 more weeks!
China was in the best position to stop Russia. China is destabilizing the world and they know it. They seem to have chosen a side and it isn’t the west. Unfortunately I think this means very very bad things. A war is still not guaranteed because it’s probably not one that any side can win. Europe should be on a war footing economy and be amassing weapons and production of weapons. Europe is still asleep yet they are the ones at the greatest risk. Unless they plan on surrendering when the time comes.
Is this the dreaded retaliation for Israel taking out their Syrian command structure & Embassy?
Remember when Hamas kidnapped dozens of people from around the world and no one seemed to care but Israel?
Ahh never knew Iberian struggle would show up here
For everyone saying this is pathetic, good, I hope this is the best Iran can do. We don’t need a broader war in the Middle East.
This was their big attack? Taking over a ship loosely connected to Israel? lmao
So they’ve had over a week to think of a big action and THIS was the best thing they could think of? L-O-L.
That aside, it’s less deadly than the other options.
Portugal don’t just sit there, assert yourself!
