The crew of the captured oil tanker RIAH did not resist.

A few hours ago, Iranian television reported that the oil tanker RIAH, flying the flag of Panama, had been captured by Iranian military personnel. The reason for this was the transportation of smuggled oil, and, presumably, exported from the territory of Iran (according to other sources - from the eastern part of Syria - approx. Ed.).

On the presented video frames, you can see that the crew of the oil tanker RIAH, consisting of 12 people, did not resist the Iranian military. Moreover, if initially it was reported that the tanker was fired from large-caliber machine guns, then later this information was completely refuted.

It should be clarified that the ownership of the oil tanker “RIAH” still remains unknown. Initially it was reported that the ship could belong to the United Arab Emirates, but later a version appeared that the owner of the ship could be one of the British companies.

According to preliminary data, about 2 million barrels of oil were found in the holds of the RIAH oil tanker, but this data was later refuted, since such an amount of crude oil could not have been stored on a ship of this size.
