Iran today paraded the crew of a British-flagged tanker that it captured in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday. A picture taken inside the Stena Impero on Sunday and released by the state-affiliated Fars news agency today shows part of the 23-strong crew huddled on the floor under the watchful eye of a Revolutionary Guardsman. The men are seen sitting cross-legged on the bridge of the vessel having had their shoes removed and piled up nearby. Makeshift bedding and towels lay on top of tables and draped over hand rails. The crew of the Swedish-owned British-registered ship includes 18 Indians - including the captain - three Russians, a Latvian and a Filipino. The photos are Iran's latest taunt to Britain after the regime also aired footage of their flag being raised over the vessel. Footage of the Muslim call to prayer being played from the tanker's speakers was also released today.

Notorious conspiracy theorist punched by Buzz Aldrin still INSISTS the Apollo 11 moon landings were fake and now claims he has 'undeniable' proof. Tennessee conspiracy theorist Bart Sibrel, 55, insists the 1969 moon landing was fake, as the nation observes the 50th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 spaceflight. Sibrel made headlines in 2002 when he confronted astronaut Buzz Aldrin and called him a 'thief, liar and coward' for the 'fake' moon landing, leading Aldrin to sucker punch him in the face. The American filmmaker has dedicated 30 years to debunking that landings as fake by making four low budget, independent films on it. 'I mean I would bet my life on it that the moon missions were fraudulent' he said. 🤣 #LMAO #FOOLS
