Iran has no respect for South Africa, and neither do it's sailors. The Makran has been known to leak oil, so it's not surprise that it's polluted false bay.

Is Iran polluting False Bay? I received a report on Tues that it appeared that the Iranian Navy ship Makran had leaked fuel into False Bay whilst refuelling corvette Naghdi. Now reports of a strong smell of diesel fuel, fuel on the water and discarded Iranian plastic bottles.

The Will for Peace 2026 joint naval exercise between South Africa, China, Russia, and Iran, which started in Simon’s Town last weekend, is a bad idea. defenceweb.co.za/sea/sea-sea/we…

The surprising arrival of the Shahid Mahdavi, a vessel from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IGRC) Navy rather than the regular Iranian Navy, especially caused a stir as many countries have sanctioned the IGRC. Iran's decision to send it was clearly provocative.

@Vusi_Quesion @Martin_ASFL @GavinMabie Sucession, if democracy popular, is indeed a legitimate form of self determination. Just ask Scotland

South Africa likes to present itself as a diplomatic heavyweight: a bridge between North and South, a principled voice in global forums, and a stabilising force on the African continent. defenceweb.co.za/sa-defence-sa-…

@SABCNews It would have been more meaningful if they had given the same speach when Russia invaded Ukraine.

@JColdboy1 @Chrispin_JPhiri Country A unilaterally invades Country B and attempts to abduct their leader. In one version of the story Country A succeeds, in the other they fail miserably and 1 million casualties later are still fighting. So I guess you are right.
