Not much info available yet, but those little f-ers are getting annoying.

The Stena Impero, which has a crew of 23 onboard, “was approached by unidentified small crafts and a helicopter during transit of the Strait of Hormuz while the vessel was in international waters,” Stena Bulk said in a statement.

A NATO ally.

I know the Royal Navy defers to us for what happens in the Gulf, but someone should just be sweeping these little frickers out and send them back near their ports where they belong.

I don’t think so.
They’re starting to piss off the Brits.

I'd wait until facts come out instead of taking the Brits version on this. They claim to have been in international waters, and of course they have to say that.

They very well may have gone into Iranian waters for all anyone knows, and if that is true, Iran did have the right to seize it.

Just wait and see reality before assuming the report is accurate.

I know there are others pushing for war with Iran but I honestly think Trump will push the British to take care of their own shite... Either that or pay their part for our involvement...

Maybe not but based on how he has handled it so far, if he was going to jump in, he has had plenty of excuses to do so...

They've made this entire shitshow a USG problem by handing Iran about as poorly as possible for 60 years or so.
