    They also seemed to have set positions for photographers to get his picture as he raises his fist with the flag in the background.

    I haven’t watched videos of that attempt, but has Trump moved from his position after the shot? If not, I don’t see it as implausible that they positioned a photographer in advance to get the flag in the background. That one is explainable, we are talking about the country that has its flag fucking everywhere, even on underwear.

    I find the fact that they took the foto at all after the “attempt” as one of the biggest proofs that trump was not really scared about the situation.






  • That would be UNCLOS, United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

    And honestly I really like the dry humor that some Wikipedia entries (strait of Hormuz in this case) are written:

    To traverse the full length of the strait, ships pass through the territorial waters of Iran and Oman. Although Iran has not ratified the UNCLOS convention,[19] most countries, including the U.S. which also has not ratified it,[20] claim the right of passage as codified in the convention.
