Here we go?
Sounds like the uk has a problem.
Reports now saying 23 crew on board and they have been imprisoned.
The Brits have 3 DDs over there... where the he77 was it’s escort ????
Nothing will happen to Iran. The Western nations are in total freeze and haven’t an idea what to do.

..... Iran knows that with the Islamic colonization of the UK and Europe with millions of Muslim zealots and operatives over the past few years, that it will now be very difficult for the UK and European Nations to militarily respond to anything that it does without having to face serious blowback and repercussions at home.
Time to deploy that new UK carrier?
Where was the last one from?
Given the threat, one certainly HAS to wonder why a platoon of Special Forces guys, armed with some heavy firepower (i.e., crew served heavy machine guns), are not embedded in each ship whilst they are sailing in obvious Harm’s Way?
Tit for Tat. UK started it July 4th with their seizure of Grace 1.
Another tanker captured today, MESDAR ??
Enjoy your tanker of recent acquisition. If England has the guts to ask Trump for help, then I know of a certain diplomat who needs to ask?
According to AIS, a second tanker, MV Mesdar also bound for Saudi Arabia made sudden turn and now heading towards Iran.
Mesdar is Liberian-flagged but British owned
How many provocations? How many American soldier deaths? How many times do we endure seeing footage of our sailors humiliated at gun point? How many tankers, hostages, drones...
I sure don't want yet another war, but at some point bullies need to be punched in the nose. Iran is such a bully. They understand power..that's it.
The Iranian navy/air-force would be destroyed in a matter of days.
I’m baffled. Why was this thread taken out of breaking news?
One and very likely two, UK owned tankers have been taken over by Iran in the Straits of Hormuz. Seems a big deal, no?
Iran has blown the $150 billion that Obama gave them and is now desperate for cash, with sanctions strangling their cash flow. Their new strategy is akin to the former North Korean gambit: act up to get your way. Trump will just wait them out. Tanker owners/insurers will act accordingly. Sorry Asia and Europe.
