Ah thanks that makes sense.

It could be they unloaded their oil to another tanker, then took on UAE oil too though now that I think about it. Not saying that is it, but Iran just claimed control of the gulf of oman (eat a dick UAE!) after they just hit some oil infrastructure earlier this week, along with two ships the US navy tried to shepard through the straits.

I fucking told them, for two decades, Iran war was a quagmire, and unwinnable. No one in power cares, they care about money to themselves, which they are getting in spades.
