"It's Only Romania"
Apparently that's about the extent of the world outrage concerning the oil rig the Iranian military stormed and took control of yesterday.
Romania said the Iranian Navy attacked an oil rig operated by a Romanian company in cooperation with the United Arab Emirates off the coast of Iran on Tuesday.
The rig, located near Kish island, was captured and at least 20 Romanians were detained.
"We are dealing with a commercial dispute that is being treated in an extreme way by the Iranian authorities," said Sergiu Medar, a national security adviser to Romanian President Traian Basescu.
