Why suspicious, a prudent decision by the Master (and others) to protect his (their) career(s) I would venture, as with the latest edict from the USA that all seafarers involved with the vessel and any others serving on vessels trading with Iran's revolutionary Guard, however far removed, will be, or may be, faced with restrictions in entering into USA ports and waters, and if are allowed in will not be allowed on shore and military guards placed on the vessel. As usual the USA govt going over the top on this type of thing, I remember the McAthurism period as a teenager being grilled by USA authorities for three hours because my name was Ivan, so I must have had communistic tendencies
