Iran Forces US Submarine to Surface in Strait of Hormuz

On Thursday, a top Iranian military commander said the country's navy has warned a nuclear-powered U.S. submarine to surface while it was passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian Army's Navy Commander Shahram Irani made the remarks in an interview with state-owned IRIB TV's News Network, without elaborating on the date of the event.

Iran's Fateh (Conqueror) submarine detected the the American submarine Florida, through a set of maneuvers, and forced it to surface while the latter was approaching the Strait of Hormuz in "complete silence," he added.

Iran warned the U.S. submarine as it had entered the Iranian territorial waters "to some extent," Irani said, adding the U.S. submarine, accompanied by an escort ship, then corrected its course and continued its journey.

Washington should explain why did its submarine violate Iran's maritime borders and international maritime laws in an important strait, Irani said, calling on the U.S. to observe all international regulations from now on.

He said Iran will pursue the case through international bodies and organizations, warning that such an "illegitimate and dangerous" presence by the United States poses a challenge to everyone.

The U.S. Navy said last week the nuclear-powered guided-missile submarine Florida was operating in the Middle East to support the Bahrain-based U.S. Fifth Fleet.

Haaretz: Israeli ex-PM Naftali Bennett called the resumption of ties between Iran and Saudi Arabia a "grave and dangerous development for Israel and a significant diplomatic victory for Iran"

One interesting note is the fact Shamkhani, who was in the hiding for a long time took the center role in the negotiations and was with the team that traveled to China for the signing the deal.

#Iran and #SaudiArabia have agreed to re-establish diplomatic relations within two months, Iranian state media reported on Friday.

Following talks in #Beijing, the foreign ministers of the two countries are set to meet again in the near future, and the countries will re-open their embassies, the report said.

Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of the Iran's Supreme National Security Council, thanked China for mediating between the parties. The Saudi Foreign Ministry has confirmed the deal in a joint statement with Iran and China.

It is also interesting that the #Biden (the man who is not #Trump) role in the process and his push to counter this agreement with melding between the fascist coalition government of #Netanyahu and the KSA.

In a Wall Street Journal report published Thursday, sources said that the Biden administration is heavily involved in back-channel talks between the two states. Both U.S. President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are seeking to reach a deal with the Saudis as an apparent counter to Iran as it ratchets up its own nuclear program, and continues providing military aid to the Russians during its war with #Ukraine.

When Netanyahu won Israel's November election, he began to publicly push for formal ties with Saudi Arabia, in an effort to build upon the success of the so-called Abraham Accords that were brokered two years ago under his previous government with the United Arab Emirates and #Bahrain.

Franziskus I: Die Erklärung des Königreichs #Bahrain lehrt, dass man, „wenn man Hass, Gewalttätigkeit und Zwietracht predigt, den Namen Gottes schändet“. Wer religiös ist, lehnt dies ab. Er sagt mit Nachdruck „Nein“ zum Fluch des Krieges und zum Ausüben von Gewalttätigkeit. #ApostolischeReise
