A second British-operated vessel that was also thought have been seized was allowed to continue its voyageUK Foreign Office has said it is urgently seeking further informationLord West, a retired admiral of the Royal Navy, has accused Iran of escalating tension in the Gulf.Lord West told Sky News:"They are the ones who escalated by attacking one of our merchant ships, so if they attack one of our merchant ships then they get their comeuppance.
Lord West added:"But for the Iranians to use that ... to come and attack our ships, I think, is not appropriate and we've got to look after our ships, but we mustn't let them just steam around unprotected in what are very dangerous waters."
how big is this tanker? is it a super tanker or just a tanker?
Never known to miss am opportunity to kick the Government, not focusing on the Iranians but looking to blame the Government, who is pulling the strings on Sky News?
More sensationalist bollo*ks from Sky Fake News. Just look at the photo - it's not an oil tanker at all - it carries chemicals and oil based products. It's a poor excuse of a bulk carrier yet is being used to instill fear with egotistical MP's plotting Armageddon - pathetic
Send in the jets
From reading this, it seems that the british and American media are playing the victims. Even though Britian just earlier this month, seized an Iranian ship which was nowhere near as widely broadcast.
The lack of updates from sky news indicates that there is already a op in place to recover the oil tanker or to take out Iran’s coms on land. There is no need for this to be messy the British are well equipped to deal with this by AL&S
For goodness sakes gets some b..ls Britain and take it back!
I don't get why you don't mention the fact they only did it because we stopped a tanker that we think might be going to Syria so Iran got pissed and childish and toke one of ours
Why should Iran let other countries bring oil through the straits when it's not allowed to bring it own through. Just because the US say's so. BS
The UK has bitten more than it chew by capturing Iranian oil tanker at the request of realDonaldTrump. Welcome to the new world order where imperialist racist state no longer call the shots 😁😁😁
I can hear the millenials and snowflakes cheering already

Don’t worry, Jeremy Hunt is out with his strong “this is completely unacceptable” words & we’re seeking answers from Iran, so all will be okay.
The uk hasn’t got the forces to start a war with any country. The cuts that have been inflicted on our armed forces is a disgrace. This countries defences are knackered
