Iranian tensions

(1/14) > >>

BazaJT:
A Royal Navy warship placed herself between a British tanker and some Iranian gunboats in the Gulf of Hormuz[reportedly training her guns on them but not firing]This it seems is an attempt by the Iranians to seize the tanker in retaliation for our"Piracy" when Marines boarded and seized an Iranian tanker off the coast of Gibraltar which was suspected of breaching EU sanctions.

STEMO:
Israel is being very quiet.  :-X

Varche:
How will it end?  We will have to send our aircraft carrier........ :o

Best keep tank full on any gas guzzlers out there.

Can't send our carrier, it's sprung a leak.  ;D
Besides, it's not for actual fighting, it's for showing what big boys we are.

Lizzie Zoom:
The TV reports also stated that it was the USA that had requested the British to engage the Royal Navy to engage with the Iranian gun boats..

We know of course that the USA is in the process of putting together an "International Protection Fleet" to protect all shipping, especially tankers, from the Iranians and others who may try and stop them ;)
