The UK and US have blamed Iran for an attack on an Israeli-linked oil tanker in which two crew members, including a British national, were killed

UK joins US, EU and Canada in imposing sanctions on Belarus following forced landing of Ryanair flight

Mr Blinken said:"Upon review of the available information, we are confident that Iran conducted this attack, which killed two innocent people, using one-way explosive UAVs, a lethal capability it is increasingly employing throughout the region." Another similarly covert option could be to deploy physical jamming devices to the region that could jam the control signals sent to the drones, rendering them impossible to operate.

No hint was given of the kind of punishment but UK government officials are working up options. A Cobra emergency meeting at officials-level – not one chaired by the prime minister – was held over the weekend in a sign of the gravity of the incident.
