Trump wants UK ships to keep the Strait of Hormuz OPEN - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 2.22pm post that he wants the UK and others to keep the Strait of Hormuz open from Iranian attacks.

Let's Get Real:

Sir Keir Starmer should jump at this, and not dither, the UK and other Countries need the oil, the price of  a barrel of oil has gone up to a $100 dollars, that means people pay more at oil garages, the Royal Navy to the rescue again.

Update: After listening to a Sky News defence analyst, this blog thinks we should get the French to supports us, the Tehran Regime has cheap and intelligent Drones that can hit tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, the Royal Navy alone can't do the heavy lifting alone! 

Trump victorious over Kharg Island - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 11.04pm post the following, " Military targets 'obliterated' on Kharg Island, says Trump "

Let's Get Real:

The Trum Oval left the oil facilities on Island alone, but gave a warning to Iran that if it attacks more oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz the Trump Oval will reverse its decision on Kharg, it will be interesting to see what Iran does, will it submit to Trump or carry on the War.

Iran's Kharg Island bombed - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 11.05pm post the following, " Trump says US just bombed Iran's Kharg Island  "

Let's Get Real:

As the BBC News notes, Kharg Island is at the heart of Iran's oil production. It's Trump warning Iran not close down the Strait of Hormuz, and chocking the West and Asia of oil.  The question what will Iran do, can they risk losing Kharg Island and the money it brings in to Iran or will they surrender to Trump.
