Daily Mail: Reports " Iran 'confiscates' British tanker with 23 crew on board 'for failing to respect maritime rules' in major escalation of tensions in the Gulf - as fears mount for SECOND 'diverted' vessel "
Lets Get Real:
This is a fast developing story, thus far Iran has taken two flagged tankers, Sky News reports that all though the tankers are UK Flagged there are no UK citizens on board the vessels. Tehran must have lost the plot, the problem with Iran is there are two power structures, the secular and the religious, and the religious side has the upper hand when it comes down to it. The Tehran Regime is pushing its luck, PM May is on the way out, she will not want to play the part of Neville Chamberlain and be seen to appease Tehran, and the new PM, Boris Johnson will not want that role either, this could get very tricky. The US will be on alert for any of its ships to be targeted by Iran, the Trump Oval might be ready to carry a BIG STICK and warn Iran off with sterner measures.
