Hi.
It would be a shame for Persia to lose their navy again.
If one councis for war, then losing their airforce might be a bonus.

Rumor is, there might have seized two more.
There is no humiliation the British could suffer from Muslims that would surpass what they’ve earned.

Probably trying to provoke a response that they can use as a patriotic rallying cry to distract Iranians from the corruption in Tehran and the collapse of their economy.
Three tankers counting one seized last weekend.
Are they really? Lolz.
Still butt-hurt over that cock-up in Suez?
Yup. Until a US asset is provoked or threatened, Trump should sit back and enjoy the show.
I think that it is time for the RN to do some major ass kicking.
Iran promised to do this if Britain did not release the Iranian tanker. Just recently, Britain decided to keep the Iranian tanker at least another month.
This followed.
Do the Brits have a navy?
Bolton orchestrated this. Trump better not get us in an unnecessary war with Iran.
They also eat human organs in Liberia, and their pastors have names like former General Butt Naked.
LOL, well stated!
