Royal Navy to escort UK-flagged ships in Gulf

Britain proposes European-led mission to secure passage for vessels through world's busiest oil-shipping laneAn image grab taken from a broadcast by Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting on July 22 2019 shows Iranian Revolutionary Guards in speedboats patrolling a tanker Stena Impero as it's anchored off the Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas.

The week-long standoff over the British-flagged Stena Impero and its 23-member crew has stoked tension between the Islamic republic and the UK. But France said on Thursday it was not willing to send extra military assets to the Gulf, but would share information and co-ordinate its deployed assets. Its guidance before Thursday was for ships to notify the navy and receive instructions on “the safest way to transit” into the Gulf.

How are Panama and Liberia doing escorting theirs ?
