Iran has seized two oil tankers – one registered in the UK, the other in Liberia – in the strait of Hormuz, marking a dramatic escalation in the worsening standoff in the Gulf.
Nothing illegal, criminal, or an act of war here. International law states that Iran can do this. International law has been invoked before by Britain and US to seize things in Britain and American waters. Iran seized something in Iran's waters.
Tit for tat...
NegarMortazavi An eye for an eye! Grace1
This was started by Trump. Now led by Bolton and Pompeo. Hunt backed Trump re his London comments. These people are juvenile and dangerous - we are so sick of you all.
Wow look at us, great go-it-alone UK all ready for a big new relationship with the US - oh wait, Trumps an 8 yr old with attention deficit and now we’re isolated, he isn’t interested. Oh wait the EU is sick of us too. Fun for Iran though huh?!
2x1. Very well IRAN!!
He's concerned but refuses to use the k word
Toe in the water to see if a Britain weakened by the Brexit crisis is going to be openly supported by the US and/or the EU?
I am extremely concerned too but unlike him I am not in a position to do anything about it.
Mud brain Iranian
What makes a ship British? A) It has a British flag? B) It has a British investor? C) It has a British crew?
Distroy that tankers & gulf become oil mud that penesula, after nobody touch any tankers
NegarMortazavi The legalities of the UK seizure of a tanker heading for Syria with oil from Iran intrigues me. One refers to EU sanctions against Syria, but Iran is not a member of EU. And EU as a principle doesn’t impose its sanctions on others. That’s what the US does
NegarMortazavi Well he shouldn’t have seized Iranian tankers then should he
Sounds like a job for SBS
Send in the SAS to get them back!

British-flagged tanker 'seized by Iran' in escalation of Gulf tensionsBritain said it was urgently seeking further information after reports that a British-flagged tanker, the Stena Impero , had taken a turn into Iranian waters. This cannot stand. PennyMordaunt should respond. We seized the Iranian tanker for violating international sanctions. Iran’s seizure of our tanker is terrorism. We must deal with Iran Let’s see if this is true. If so there should be military consequences If you sail into Iranian waters, you're gonna have a bad time...

Iran claims to have seized British oil tanker in strait of HormuzUK government urgently seeking information after Stena Impero veered into Iranian waters Pretty disgusting, and I'm concerned by anyone on board, if manned. But honestly, who would be willing to be one of the millions dead if we overreact to an (allegedly) straying tanker being taken? Not my war. 'Some own Pennies in a jar,Some own Oil Tankers' Oh please, respect the property of others

BBC News: 'I'm not going to answer' Hunt refuses to comment on Trump's 'racist' tweetsBBC BREAKFAST welcomed Jeremy Hunt to the show this morning and host Naga Munchetty took the opportunity to quiz the politician on the recent tweets posted by President Donald Trump, claimed by many to be 'racist'. But the Foreign Secretary was not willing to go into detail about the remarks. Quiet right its US issue not UK's media frenzy laughable on this. Perhaps he learnt too late that knocking the US President is not a good idea. Trump was right to say what he did. The Squad as they are called all criticised the US PM material then....NOT?
