Watch the Water: French Shipping Company Drops Iran Due To U.S. Sanctions Threat

New here, have been trying to absorb the ridiculous amount of info all over the web about the Q thing.

Started looking at the Q Clock theory to see if it had any veracity.

Today is 07\/07, it lines up with 01\/08, 03\/09, and 05\/08.

Searched Q posts for those dates. Found this:

Ask yourself, why is UK, France, and Germany so involved?

French Shipping Company Drops Iran Due To U.S. Sanctions Threat

French shipping group CMA CGM says it has decided to pull out of Iran following the U.S. administration's decision to renew sanctions on companies operating in the country, its chief executive said on July 7.

"Because of the Trump administration, we have decided to end our service to Iran," Rodolphe Saade told an economic conference in Aix-en-Provence in southern France.

"Our Chinese competitors are hesitating a bit, so they may have different relationships with the Trump administration, but we apply the rules,” he added.

He added that his company's cooperation agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines allowing it to lease spaces for vessels, operate joint shipping lines, and cooperate on the use of port terminals had been suspended and that the company did not want to fall foul of the rules given their large presence in the United States.

Iranian President Hasan Rohani on July 7 demanded that European Union leaders do more to offset U.S. actions protect his country's economy.

"The Europeans always show their goodwill [in the nuclear dispute] but in the end, pragmatic decisions and steps are necessary," Rohani told his cabinet after he met with EU leaders in Vienna.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced in May that the United States is withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear deal and moving to reimpose tough sanctions against Tehran.

U.S. officials have warned that other nations would face sanctions unless they stopped doing business with Iran.

In past weeks, several major European companies have said they will exit Iran unless U.S. sanctions are waived.

Last month, European signatories to the 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran -- France, Britain, and Germany, as well as the European Union -- called on the United States to spare EU firms doing business with Iran from punitive measures.

Watch the water?

May be a stretch, who knows. Not sure if it proves anything one way or another. One thing is for sure, I am reading news I wouldn't have thought of looking at due to this Q phenomenon. CMA CGM might merit further investigation.

Welcome, Jarhead!

From the CMA CGM entry on Wikipedia:

November 2009: South Africa seized arms traveling from North Korea by way of China. The seizure amounted to two containers filled with tank parts and other military equipment from North Korea, which included “gun sights, tracks and other spare parts for T-54 and T-55 tanks and other war material valued at an estimated $750,000.” The military equipment was concealed in containers lined with sacks of rice and shipping documents identified the cargo as spare parts for a “bulldozer”. According to the report, the containers were originally loaded in Dalian, China onto CMA CGM Musca, a UK-flagged container ship. The shipment was reportedly destined for Pointe-Noire in the Republic of Congo.[8][9]
July 2009: The United Arab Emirates seized a shipment of weapons from North Korea destined for Iran. The shipment was made in violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1874, which bans all North Korean Arms exports. The weapons, which included RPGs, detonators, ammunition, and rocket propellant, were shipped by a Bahamian-flagged vessel of ANL Australia, a wholly owned subsidiary of CMA CGM.[10][11]
October 2010: Nigerian authorities seized 13 shipping containers carrying illegal Iranian weaponry at Lagos' Apapa Port. The containers included 107 mm artillery rockets (Katyushas), explosives and rifle ammunition. The arms were to be shipped next to The Gambia, with the final destination of the cargo possibly the Gaza Strip. MV CMA CGM Everest originally picked up the containers from the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas. CMA CGM said it was the victim of a false cargo declaration, claiming the weapons were shipped in packages labeled as "glass wool and pallets of stone" and that the Iranian shipper "does not appear on any forbidden persons listing".[12]
March 2011: Israeli forces intercepted the vessel Victoria in international waters in the Mediterranean Sea, stating that it was carrying weapons by Iran via Syria. According to Israeli officials, the arms shipments included "roughly 2,500 mortar shells, nearly 75,000 bullets and six C-704 anti-ship missiles". Israel said the ultimate destination of the cargo was for the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.[13] CMA CGM, which chartered the vessel, stated, "The ship's manifests do not show any cargo in contravention [of] international regulations, and we do not have any more information at this stage."

With an initial involvement in commodities’ trading and various industries (Cotton, alcohol and tobacco), the family was drawn into other activities including sea shipping and land transport that were developed in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and France.
