They've been getting mouthy lately.
I suspect they're trying to gin up an incident.

All relevant decisions in respect of this matter were taken only as a direct result of the government of Gibraltar having reasonable grounds to believe the vessel was acting in breach of established E.U. sanctions against Syria, Fabian Picardo, the territorys chief minister, told reporters. There has been no political request at any time from any government that Gibraltar should act or not act on one basis or another. Maybe, but it wouldn't have happened without Trump as a leader.

I hope that's all he's loading up on.
Britain can put on their big boy pants and take care of this themselves.
If they don't, they need to invest more in their national defense, and less on social programs.

Impotent and raging morons. I say let them “slap” and then respond by sending a Tomahawk missile (or Brit equivalent) thru the window of one of the Mullahs homes.

I’m thinking, the Iranians need to witness the power of the U.S. / U.K. / IDF armed forces in a big way.

Meanwhile London announced its sending a second frigate to guard British flagged vessels transiting the Hormuz straits.

Send us another shit like Sir Kim Darroch and you Brits can defend your own damn tankers... forever. Our blood and treasure will stay home for OUR benefit.
Put your hat in your hand Brits and go beg the French for help defending your ships.
Cause we’re sick and tired of nose-in-the-air ingrates.,

The British have more than two Type-45 frigates like the one they're sending to the Hormuz to escort tankers, but you can count them on your fingers.
HMS Duncan is the sixth and last of the Type 45 or Daring-class air-defence destroyers built for the Royal Navy. Duncan is named after Adam Duncan, 1st Viscount Duncan (1 July 1731 4 August 1804), who defeated the Dutch fleet at the Battle of Camperdown on 11 October 1797.

Britain needs to send a tanker close in international waters to Iran with a hidden escort and when Iran does the stupid, Britain gets to hunt over a baited field.
