The Brits need to convoy there ships thru the straight, and blow up some Iran boats to stop the madness.
Your right those Muslim’s are always fighting with each other.
Who cares, not one of ours, let them send their soldiers in to fight their battles
NO!!!
We are not going to send our military in to fight for a British Ship, their problem not ours!
Remember the Somalia coast pirate cruise? We need one for Iran.

Agreed 100 %
Of course they have. There is just one tiny problem. Apparently, they can’t operate in hot weather. See this article: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/jun/07/destroyers-will-break-down-if-sent-to-middle-east-admits-royal-navy
So the only Navy that mounts a Dalek on its ships is ineffective where it is warm.
It’s not even a “real” British ship. It’s owned by a Swedish company but registered in Great Britain.
Iran released one of the tankers it boarded today.
Iran says it’s boarding tankers for ‘ecological and regulatory’ inspections...
I guess they have that right.
once boarded of course the ships are helpless!
A war between UK and Iran would be interesting—they both have the same sized navy now—but Iran may have a larger army and tank corp. England will give back their tanker and give a few million pounds.
I thought he was talking about Britain.
“Looks like time to bring back convoys.” with Q-ships ...
*ouch* Good point, my apologies!
“brits are cowards. They are blaming Trump and our withdraw from the iran deal.”
blaming anyone but the Irainians is an act of cowardice, in fact, blaming anyone at all and not simply rectifying by force is also an act of cowardice ...
btw, maybe the Brits could send ex-ambassador Kim Darroch to Iran to get their ship back ...
:) You understand my confusion.
I'm still buying ammo. The war is coming. I think it will be a short one. This 64 year old guy will be on the front line.
Of course!
I agree, but half the Freepers here will switch to Dem or stay home in 2020.
So, given the continuing EU economic relationships with Iran, one has to ask: if the EU will allow the UK to be abused like this, what's the point in membership? What, indeed...
I guess Great Britain will just have to “man up”, show some intestinal fortitude and hit Iran VERY HARD.
Otherwise, they are screwed because it is not OUR problem.
