Valin Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 CNBC July 19 2019 Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says it seized a British tanker Friday in the Strait of Hormuz, claiming it failed to follow international marine regulations. The IRGC took the British tanker, Stena Impero, to a coastal area and turned it over to maritime authorities, according to Iran State TV. Reuters reported that a second British-operated tanker had also taken a sharp northerly turn and was heading toward Iran after passing through the Strait of Hormuz into the Gulf. Reuters said the source on the movement of Liberian flagged tanker Mesdar was Refinitiv data. The British government said it was seeking information on the seizure of a tanker, following initial reports on the Stena Impero.

Valin Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 MI6 fears Iran used Russian GPS tech to send UK tanker off course - report In June, senior Israeli officials said that they believe that Russia had been disrupting civilian aircraft navigation systems. Tzvi Joffre, Yonah Jeremy Bob July 23, 2019 Britain’s intelligence services MI6 and GCHQ are checking whether Iran used Russian GPS “spoofing” technology, which produces incorrect location data, to send the British-flagged Stena Impero off course into Iranian waters. According to British media, the UK’s intelligence services think Iran might have used cyber penetration to send the ship off course into Iranian waters, thus giving the IRGC an excuse to seize it. If the Islamic republic did use the GPS spoofing technology, it would be the first time that it has publicly demonstrated that level of advanced capabilities. But US and Israeli cyber officials have been warning about Tehran’s ever-advancing abilities for years. If in fact Iran carried out such a cyber attack, the question must be asked whether it did so independently or with Russia’s help. (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
