Why isn't the USA involved? Weren't the Brits acting under a US regional commander?
Start sinking Iranian naval vessels. No civilian casualties that way. There must be a Brit or US sub in the area.

"Why isn't the USA involved?"

Because McCain has already stated that there's nothing we can do...

Sink their fleet.
Every last pos that floats.
If a plane is in the air, divert it to Iraq or Gitmo.

Blockade that sandpit. Air & Sea. Nothing gets in or out of Iran until they apologize for the kidnappings, release the prisioners, and distribute free heating oil to any drug free family in Harlem who needs it. UK has their own oil and coal so they should receive money for what they need most.....improved dental care.

If we start sinking Iranian naval vessels; how soon before Iran starts sinking western oil tankers? An aggressive response from the Brits and US would have to be so overwhelming that it removes all Iranian threats from the theater.

The place has at least three US fast attack subs on station.

Perhaps because when the Brits once again show themselves to be spineless weasels, allowing their men "and at least one woman" to be seized without a shot being fired, they ought to damn well be on their own.
