Iran shipping conflict

Exactly. Can’t spoil the ‘special relationship’ can we. Trying to drag everyone in by calling on their ‘allies’ to help defend shipping when they caused the problem in the first place. Iraq all over again. The problem is we will be mug enough to follow. Will we never learn - God help us when Blow Job gets in.
What’s even worse is that we could end up with UK citizens getting killed or captured in an escalating situation in the Gulf while the Americans sit back because Trump pledged not to get involved in more foreign adventures. We could end up inadvertently fighting a proxy war for Trump with no support from anyone.
 
Sending over a 2nd war ship, I really hope this doesn’t get ugly.
Looks like it's about to get Phil Jones style ugly now. It appears that a British tanker has been seized and is being sailed towards Iran.

Maybe we should speed up getting the Queen Elizabeth into service, I don't think the British Government can allow Iran's leadership to seize British ships.
 
Iran must be pissing their pants laughing at us. We will issue some strong words and condemnation.
 
best thing Britain can do is send some serious hardware to that region,and my guess is they release the crew and ship before it arrives

Yes but they won't. I hate Boris but get the feeling he would react appropriately.

2nd tanker seized also.
