1 Hat tip to perfidious Albion. Yet another Anglo-Afri success story. Who knew Rhodesia, South Africa, Mozi, ~~and now possibly Greenland~~ would end up in the communist tent ?

"South Africa investigates." Will that be before or after refueling at Simon's Town Naval Base ?

2 Killing white farmers or doing naval exercises with a homicidal regime that is also massacring its own people. Which makes me madder? Frankly, I can’t believe that the Iranian navy has assets anywhere but Hormuz at the moment. I am delighted that they have ships forward deployed. I would make them pay dollars for food and gas. Their officers may bug out at some point, though.
