US officials say Iran seized a British oil tanker

US officials say that Iran has seized a British tanker in the Persian Gulf, a move that UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has described the incidents as "unacceptable" but says the UK is "not looking at military options" at this time. #CNN #News

Its like you bully and taunt Iran then expect them to continue to turn the other cheek.

[bct]

I wonder why they did this ?
Surely not because Britain seized one of their tankers ?
Nah that's a crazy theory.

[roastbeef]

The sea is called 'The Persian Gulf' for a reason, duh!

Us official? Iran says they took a British tanker .
BTW when will the US show us the wreckage of the Iranian drone they said they shot down

[admininfo]

Lol, seriously how embarrassing, a week ago iran downs a US drone showing proof of rackage, just few hours ago US claim to having downed an iranian drone showing no evidence, then iran shows them how there drone easily takes footage of the US boxer with not a scratch, and now Iran seizes a British tanker, JUST LIKE A BOSS . AND THE AMERICANS ARE STILL BOASTING ON HOW MUCH MORE POWERFUL THERE MILITARY IS . ARE YOU KIDDING US. LMAO

So how small was Iranian drone that we can't see it's wreck?
Iranians showed the wreckage of US drone, can US show us what they got...

Well, they did it first. No blame on IRan at all.

Bolton probably can't contain his excitement. 😕 Soon, Trump won't be able to contain Bolton. 😳

U.K has started this . they are responsible for any tension from now on

[lolnim]

they did at first! now it's the answer of Iran! very normal

As a resident in the UAE and a KIWI I am hoping this will not further escalate. People do not want war with Iran nor I believe do the Brits. Anyone baying for war needs to understand this will not just start and end here it will escalate very quickly. Step back and diplomatically resolve.

[matthewcondie]

The U.K. stole an Iran tanker last week. Iran is defending itself.

[hassanabraham]

[vintagestereo]

The UK asked for it, action = reaction

[hassanmyah]

Iran 🇮🇷 did it in response to piracy 🏴‍☠️ 🇬🇧

[Foltyn]

Don’t worry UK will send 007 to rescue

The ships owner didn't say that the ship was seized.
