Iran has now seized 2 tankers in what are clearly acts of piracy. The world in general reacts slowly so I anticipate it will take some time before something is done about it. What that will ultimately be depends on Iran and what they are going to do with the 2 tankers and their crews.

Either way, Iran will lose face. The question at this point is; will they lose lives as well?
 
Whenever something like this happens I always ask myself, self, what would butters do? Or WWBD for short. :)
 
I'm pretty sure I remember reading about the British capturing an Iranian tanker in Gibraltar like just a couple of weeks ago... But when I searched for that story just now, I couldn't find it... except on Middle Eastern news outlets.

huh...

I just found it in the NY Times and BBC, along with updates.
 
WE have to learn to stay out of THEIR business.

Pull ALL of our people out of the Eastern Hemisphere entirely.

The same thing our chicken shit president Obama did for 8 years - absolutely nothing with the failed policy of “strategic patience”.

Because that happened over thirty years ago, was proactive rather than reactive and was successful.

Really, I have to explain this.

The British captured an Iranian tanker a few weeks ago.
Now Iran has captured a British tanker.

No, that is not entirely accurate. Gibraltar port authorities, along with the British Royal Navy and the support (request) of the US, detained a tanker carrying Iranian crude bound for Syria, subject to the EU’s Syrian sanctions. Spain also assisted as it took place in their waters.

Iran has now captured a British tanker, escalating things.

I like how it's suddenly "OUR people" when there's a risk of armed conflict while in other threads it's "you white supremacists."

I also like how this somehow doesn't quite match up with "we should do something to help other countries solve their economic problems so that immigration won't need reforming."

Oh, so the Brits submit when the US asks them to do something? Cool.

Two British owned tankers but the latest news is that one, and its crew, have been released and allowed to leave Iranian waters. One was flying the British Flag, the other, although owned by a British company, was under the Liberian flag. Neither ship had any British nationals in their crews.
