Itanki leoyile elisekwe e-Emirates linyamalale kwi-radar, ngelixa lihamba nge-Strait yaseHormuz kufutshane Iran.
Itanki le-oyile elineflegi yaseRamani 'Riah' lihlala lithutha ioyile lisuka eDubai naseSharjah liye eFujairah, uhambo oluphantsi nje kweemayile ezingama-200 ezihamba ngenqanawa ngolu suku nje olungaphezulu kolwandle.
Nangona kunjalo, ngelixa udlula kwiStrait yaseHormuz ngoMgqibelo ebusuku, umqondiso wenqanawa wokulandela umkhondo ucime ngesiquphe nje kwasezinzulwini zobusuku, emva kokuphambuka kwikhosi yawo wakhomba kunxweme lwaseIran. Ngokwedatha yokulandela umkhondo waselwandle, uphawu alukhange luvulwe kwakhona ukusukela oko, kwaye inqanawa yaphela.
Ke kwenzeka ntoni? Ngongxwabangxwaba wase-US-Iranian, kwaye i-Iran ityholwa ngokuhlaselwa okuninzi kwiitanki zeoyile kufutshane nomjelo weenyanga ezidlulileyo, ingqalelo yajikela kwiRiphabhlikhi yase-Islamic. Imithombo yeendaba yase-Israeli ilithathe eli bali ngolwe-Lwesibini, yaza yalakha njengenye inkqubela phambili kwisaga eqhubekayo, eqaqambisa iNkokeli ePhakamileyo yase-Iranian u-Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ngesithembiso sokuphendula xa kuthathwa itanki lase-Irani ngase-Gibraltar ekuqaleni kwale nyanga.
Isithethi senkampani yeenqanawa ephethe i-'Riah '-iSharjah esekwe eMouj-al-Bahar General Trading - uxelele iTransWinds ukuba inqanawe "yayixhwiliwe" ngabasemagunyeni eIran. I-CNN ixele ukuba uluntu lwezobuntlola e-US "luyakholelwa ngakumbi" ukuba itanki lanyanzelwa ukuba lingene emanzini e-Iranian liphiko lomkhosi we-Elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps yase-Iran, kodwa ayivelanga imithombo yayo.
Kukho ezinye izizathu ezinokubangela ukuba inqanawa inyamalale nje. Iwebhusayithi yakwa-Israeli iTankerTrackers.com iqulunqa iingxelo zeenqanawa ezikholelwa ukuba zicima iitracker zazo ukuya kwizibuko laseIran kwaye zilayishe ioyile, ngokuchasene nezohlwayo zaseMelika. Indawo yaxela inqanawa yaseTshayina- 'iSino Energy 1' -yanyamalala ngasekupheleni kwenyanga ephelileyo kufutshane neIran, ngaphambi kokuvela kwakhona ilayishe ngokupheleleyo kwaye yaya kwelinye icala kwiintsuku ezintandathu kamva. Ngoku idlula eSingapore kwindlela ebuyela eChina.
Nangona kunjalo, inqanawa esekwe e-Emirates ayinakulindeleka ukuba ithengise ioyile kunye ne-Iran, inikwe EmiratesUmahluko kwezopolitiko kunye neTehran kunye nomanyano olusondeleyo ne-Saudi Arabia, umvelisi weoyile wesibini ngobukhulu emhlabeni kunye nomthumeli omkhulu kumazwe angaphandle.
