In an intervention on social media on Tuesday, the Supreme Leaders office invoked Northern Irish hunger striker Bobby Sands, who died in 1981, to criticize Britain and global domineering empires.

A member of the Irish Republican Army, Sands passed away after 66 days without food, in a protest over prison conditions with the demand to be labelled a prisoner of war.

Ayatollah Khameneis office marked the 34th anniversary of Sands death with a series of tweets:

Amid Irans nuclear talks with Britain, the US, and other powers and conflicts in the Middle East, Khameneis offered no specific political reason for the Twitter blast. Instead, it appeared to be part of an annual ritual, repeating the message from 2014:

Iranian Navy: We Shooed Away US Warship and Planes from Gulf of Aden
In the latest shadow-boxing over naval presence in the Persian Gulf and along the coast of the Arabian Peninsula,Irans military is declaringthat it forced a US warship and military planes to retreat in the Gulf of Aden.

Fars News, linked to the Revolutionary Guards, says the US destroyer and two reconnasissance planes changed its direction after it came close to Iranian ships and was warned to move away.

CHECKINGforeign warships in the international waters and surveilling potential threats to Irans national interests is our essential responsibility, the commander of the Iranian flotilla, Commodore Mostafa Tajeddini, said.

The US said last month that it wasPOSITIONINGwarships in the area to prevent Iran from supplying weapons to Yemens Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement, which is facing a Saudi-led aerial intervention as it challenges other Yemeni factions.

Tehran has insisted that its ships did not withdraw, saying that they are conducting anit-piracy patrols in the Gulf and the Bab al-Mandab Strait.

Meanwhile, thecommander of the Iranian navy saidthat a US-owned ship and its 34-member crew, forced by patrol boats into the southern Iran port of Bandar Abbas last week, will be freed after its owner pays debts to Irans Ports and Maritime Organization.

Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said, According to the court ruling issued in the case involving this ship, it will be released after paying the compensation money to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The Ports and Maritime Organization has said that the Maersk Line Shipping Company, based in Denmark, owes more than $3 million while an Iranian oil products company claims it is owed more than $10 million for undelivered containers.
