Russian forces are locked in fierce clashes with Georgia inside its breakaway South Ossetia region, reports say, amid fears of all-out war.
Moscow sent armoured units across the border after Georgia moved against Russian-backed separatists.
Russia says 12 of its soldiers are dead, and separatists estimate that 1,400 civilians have died.
Georgia accuses Russia of waging war, and says it has suffered heavy losses in bombing raids, which Russia denies.
For the remaining Georgian civilians still living in the area along the boundary line life is difficult.
There have been disputes over Russian soldiers arbitrarily moving boundary fences, cutting villagers off from their homes and fields. Georgia has accused Russia of abductions.
According to Lloyd’s List Intelligence data the tanker made no port calls over the past year, had 27 days of dark activities and met 55 times with another vessel, and had trading patterns characteristic of clandestine ship-to-ship transfers.

Did the UK think Iran wouldn't take retaliatory actions for their act of piracy against the Iranian tanker off of Gibraltar, eh?
So are both of these actions an "act of piracy then" or just the UK one?
It's called retaliation. Remind me who started seizing commercial ships going about their lawful business again because it wasn't Iran.
Act of piracy? Do you actually believe the rubbish you post or are you just posting any old rubbish for ***** and giggles?
Act of piracy? What kind of lunacy are you talking about, it was seized on behalf of EU sanctions that we are duty bound to uphold.As Rroff has mentioned Iran is claiming they have seized a UK tanker.

All the UK has accomplished is putting British sailors and ships at risk for the benefit of the US.
So retaliation not piracy?
Gotcha.
