Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claim to have seized a British oil tanker, the Stena Impero, which suddenly veered off course and headed into Iranian waters.

Stay the hell out of the Persian gulf. And stop the bullshit of calling it Arabian gulf, the world knows Persian not Arabian.

Looks like Boris first job as PM is declaring war on Iran along with mad dog Trump

UK linked...not UK. Stena, Google it for fucks sake and no British crew.

This is very unfortunate for Iran I guess. May end with WW3. Russia and China will involve againist Usa the head and the NATO excluding Turkey?

Also British flagged tanker does not mean it's a British boat owned by a British company. It's not, it's owned by a Swedish company. Ships can be registered under any flag/country.

If there's a huge war with millions of lives destroyed, industry and infrastructure decimated, environment and culture raped, will Brent rise similarly to West Texas Intermediate? 🤡 HormuzStrait Iran Brexit NorthKorea SouthChinaSea Tibet MacDonalds CafeLatte MAGA

More hostages

When we did it because the USA told us to it was OK. We didn't think of the consequences, we just did as we were told. Again...

How about we never left the deal to begin with. Look at the crisis we created! Look at the crisis we created! We should be ashamed.

Maybe a couple of Nuclear tipped cruise missiles into their nuclear reactor and facilities would focus their minds.

Nuke 'em.

seems more of a checkers move than chess

_Eric____ the Straits ain't no joke...

Johnson and Trump in control... What could possibly go wrong!

Send in the SAS time to kick ass 💪

They shutdown US drone and they seized two British tankers. whats next?

Not one...two in just two hours

How come still no news on the second seizure you news folk are awfully slow....! Iran

I am sure May can fix this! Just as she fix the brexit 🤪😂 are they gonna beg Donnie for help after bashing him? As always brits asking the “bad” Americans for help!

Then we need to strike quick and hard.

Time to start sinking their ships?

This is an Iranian response ⁦✌️⁩💪⁦🇮🇷⁩

What evidence did you have that the ship was in Iranian waters when captured? The wording in the article did not provide any. I notice that the headline for this article was quickly changed to eliminate this claim. Have you handed the Iranians a Boris-type justification.

‘In Iranian waters’. This is unbelievable. You’re reporting the line put out by a foreign, theocratic, fascist dictatorship over the fact that the ship was in International waters, seized then steered towards Iran. This is despicable reporting.

Well,well,we’ll....What timing? Lots of Churchillian paraphrasing opportunities for Bojo in tandem with his tiny handed mate. Pray there are still some untainted grown ups left to protect all involved in whatever this is.

Well, Iran did say they would retaliate for the seizure of their ship. Now, it’s a reality. Hopefully, diplomacy will resolve this issue.

Tit--for--Tat

Iranian waters?!? Are you sure?

Oh look. There are consequences to capturing an Iranian tanker.

How can we blame this on trump or brexit?

Not good what game is America playing here hope England not being used as a puppet 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 in America and IRAN disputes

A few prayers in order for the poor souls on the tanker, caught in the middle of this political malarkey 🙏🏽

O que vai ter neste navio hem !! Fez certo Iran.

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.

Iran denies Donald Trump claim that US destroyed drone in Strait of HormuzUS president says USS Boxer took ‘defensive action’ against unmanned aircraft amid heightened tensions between countries Formerly, state leaders needed propaganda ministers who lied for them. Donald Trump does it himself. Odds it turns out to be our own drone to wag the dog? 100% Never expected to live in a time when I'd believe Iran over our President, but here we are.

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...
