Foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt says Britain’s response will be ‘considered but robust’ if UK-flagged tanker is not released

The British government has warned that Iran is choosing “a dangerous path of illegal and destabilising behaviour” and advised UK ships to avoid the strait of Hormuz after Iran seized a British-flagged tanker as the crisis in the Gulf escalates.

How much of a hypocrite can you be? The UK is such a puppet of the US it's embarrassing

Your earlier article cast doubt on the legality of the Grace 1 seizure. If it was illegal, this looks like blatant warmongering. Urgent need for serious journalism!

Not so easy. Regarding prize: And the notion of 'international waters' in the strait is with prejudice, at best.

So what will the UK do? Wag a finger and say there will be consequences.

You are the creator of the problem And you have to finish it It's simple Released their TANKER and finished the story

President Donald Trump should oppose other Presidents but he is challenging Islamic,black and immigrant public from the East.This entertains some public in the West. Once public would react, no President can stop them.Please be careful. World peace is better than World in pieces.

England started this mess so can say sorry and release their tanker first

continues its new roll as the warmongering voice of foreignoffice.

This is called Tit for tat diplomacy

Scary thought when even the Guardian is joining this jingoistic posturing

Easy way out - exchange theirs for the uk ship - problem solved; if Trump, Bibi and MBS want to start a war don t get EU involved their shenanigans

They're stealing oil from other countries, and they've got the unmitigated gall to the Jews 'cheap!' On the other hand, those same Iranians love them British sailors.

And the stupid Guardian report this as if the UK has some high moral ground

Funny how it's fair game when the UK seizes an Iranian ship but it's rogue behaviour when Iran does it to UK ships. Don't you guys feel a bit ashamed of your hypocrisy?

Just what the Americans want! A war with Iran. Why doesn’t Europe do something constructive about the mess the grifter and draft dodger realDonaldTrump has made! He will send our children to fight a war, but his halfwit sons won’t sign up!

This should have been pointed out to us when we seized their tanker.

Stena Impero: Iran warned of 'serious consequences' over seizure of UK-flagged oil tankerJeremy Hunt has warned Iran will face 'serious consequences' if it does not release a British-flagged oil tanker which was detained in the Strait of Hormuz Who? Apparently they’ve had a COBRA meeting, and as usual decided to do absolutely nothing. Talk is cheap... Why are Iran trying trying to create conflict with the west. Can someone please enlighten me?

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
