BBC News: Reports " Royal Marines have boarded an oil tanker on its way to Syria thought to be breaching EU sanctions, the government of Gibraltar has said. "
Lets Get Real:
This will not go down well with the Tehran Regime, it will be seen by Tehran as the UK siding with the Americans against Iran. The fact that the ship was carrying oil to a EU sanctioned nation will not matter. One can expect a lot of shouting from Tehran over the incident. One assumes the oil will be taken off and the ship allowed to go on its way, of course there might be legal issues, will the owners of the tanker be fined, will the crew face legal action for taking on illegal cargo. It will be interesting to see what Iran does, it has the US on its back already it does not need the EU to place sanctions on Iran. Developing story.
