The Brits need to destroy every Iranian naval base by morning.
I don't understand why they haven't already taken out a couple of Iranian naval vessels. I also don't understand how a frigate captain let two of his small boats get surrounded and captured by a group of Iranina patrol boats. It's crazy.
"The Brits need to destroy every Iranian naval base by morning."
The British had a helo monitoring the whole incident. So, they could have called for help.
The American Navy now has two carriers in the area. If the British had of called for help, I'm certain we could have had overwhelming air power in the area in minutes.
Whatever, the Brits should tell the Iranians to release their personnel within 12 hours or risk loosing every Iranian naval asset in the area. Are President should then back their play with our Navy. We could aniliate their "boats" and take out their shore missile batteries.
I'm old enough to remember the USS Pueblo incident of 1968 with North Korea. I would hate to see this happen again, even to the Brits.
