The dispute is due to three rifles found as part of its anti-piracy package.

Hard to say it's related to Iran at this point but the thought has crossed my mind.

QuoteVenezuelan authorites arrested a U.S. ship captain early Thursday after three assault rifles were found on board, the U.S. Embassy said.

An embassy official said the captain of the Ocean Atlas was being held for an alleged infraction "involving documentation for three rifles carried on board as part of the ship's anti-piracy security package."

Fourteen other American crew members were still on board the ship, said the official, who agreed to discuss the arrest on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to release the details. The official didn't give the captain's name or hometown.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Crossed my mind too, as soon as I read the thread title.
Any time is a good time for pie.

Lord, I do miss Reagan. This would be resolved before morning. Actually, no...they would have never dared in the first place.
