IRAN SEIZES BRITISH OIL TANKER

19

Look where all that UK and EU ass-kissing got them. Europe, take note, cowards. ‘Give ’em nukes!’

So much for attempts to maintain the ‘peace in our time’ rotten deal. Iran does not fear the UK or Europe. They are defeated. Bet they go running to Daddy Trump.

Iran recent war-gaming:

Iran ‘seizes British-flagged oil tanker’ in Strait of Hormuz

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard says it seized the Stena Impero for “violating international maritime rules”.

The Foreign Office is “urgently seeking” further information after Iran claimed to have seized a British-flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz.

Sky sources have confirmed defence secretary Penny Mordaunt has been briefed on the incident in the Gulf.

A statement from the ship’s owner and management firm said: “Stena Bulk and Northern Marine Management can confirm that at approximately 1600 BST on 19th July UK registered vessel Stena Impero was approached by unidentified small crafts and a helicopter during transit of the Strait of Hormuz while the vessel was in international waters.

“We are presently unable to contact the vessel which is now heading north towards Iran.

“There are 23 seafarers aboard. There have been no reported injuries and their safety is of primary concern to both owners and managers.

“The priority of both vessel owner Stena Bulk and ship manager Northern Marine Management is the safety and welfare of the crew.”

Sky’s foreign affairs Editor Deborah Haynes described the situation as British officials’ worst nightmare.

“This is being discussed at the highest level of government,” she added.

It comes after the Iranian tanker, Grace 1, was seized on 4 July off the coast of Gibraltar for trying to take oil to Syria in violation of European Union sanctions.

Following the operation, led by a team of Royal Marines, Iran threatened to seize a British tanker in retaliation.

Just days later a Royal Navy warship deterred Iranian patrol boats attempting to impede a British tanker sailing through the Strait of Hormuz, leading the government to deploy a second vessel to the region.

The White House said it is aware ‘of reports that Iranian forces seized a British oil tanker. ‘

‘This is the second time in just over a week the UK has been the target of escalatory violence by the Iranian regime,’ said National Security Council spokesman Garrett Marquis

‘The U.S. will continue to work with our allies and partners to defend our security and interests against Iran’s malign behaviour.’

And the UK government will respond by licking the Iranian boots. Thatcher and Churchill must be rolling in their graves. No wonder a woman was PM as there is not one testicle in either house.

Of course they will lick boots and kiss Persian arses. The Brits hate themselves and wish to destroy their country to atone for being white, cross carriers, and western and for having the empire.

The UK elite do. The rest are drowning in misinformation and have not a clue. Do not tar the Brits with the faeces of globalist traitors as most in the west everywhere(80-90%) are the same including the USA. BUT they are beginning to awaken.

Iran is bucking for a war. Best for the Brits to also sanction Iran and if Iran gets close to a nuke. They get the war they are bucking for???

Play some catch up with current events. The Brits already sanction Iran. Iran wants a war but they can’t find anyone to take them up on the matter. Takes two to tango, or war. Poor thing. They have captured a second tanker today, a super big one.

I doubt if the Brits will be as patient as the US. Hope they slam Tehran hard to get their attention.

No way. The Brits hate being white, Christian, Western and are doing their damn best to colonize Mini Britain with mozzies to atone for the empire.

Pam, you wrote too soon. The rag heads have captured a second tanker, a Liberia flagged super tanker headed for Ras Tanura, SA.

There was a time when such an action would have brought the wrath of Britain’s military down on Iran. The current British government will probably apologize to Iran for the inconvenience they endured in seizing the ship. Britain needs Boris!

So for the United Kaliphate why doesn’t this count as an act of war? Perhaps too many MP’s are on the take to islamic petropounds?
Whatever happened to all that North Sea oil? Why does GB have to import oil from totalitarian muslum theocracies?

By the prophet’s beard Ali, why would Iran bomb Mecca, Islam’s holiest site?

Why, of course, to take it away from those Sunni heretics.

Britain will do nothing. It is the New Caliphate of islam. Thatcher or Reagan would have given them 48 hours to release the vessel. Come to think of it, Iran would not have tried such an act of War if either one of these two were still in power. Britain is governed now by an elitist group of gutless, spineless, sniveling, cowardly, groveling (to muslims) globalists. Trump made a HUGE mistake by not avenging the drone downing. This was a test by Iran, and the US failed. Iran now believes that the US hasn’t got the backbone or the guts to attack them. The only way to deal with degenerate, power mad bullies it to act immediately, decisively, and with destructive force. History incontrovertibly shows us that only violence stops this scum. There is a very good reason that the cowards, bullies of Iran attacks Israel using proxies only. Because they know, that Israel will annihilate them if they (personally) attack. Just as the US and Britain should do now.

I think John Kerry should take care of this. He loves the Iranians so much.
If we don’t dig our heels in we will be sorry.
