Iran seizes two UK-flagged oil tankers as tensions reach boiling point along disputed Hormuz waterway


The Brits better not let Iran slide. 
The only reason Iran has seized a couple of British ships is because they think they can get away with it without paying a price.  The UK needs to prove them wrong quickly.  
Fox News reports Iran seized two British-operated oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz Friday, marking a fresh escalation of tensions between Tehran and the West.
The U.K.-flagged Stena Impero, which has a crew of 23 aboard, “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, the shipping company that owns the vessel, said in a statement. "We are presently unable to contact the vessel which is now heading north towards Iran."

  2. The Straits are not in anyway disputed. Part of it is Omani, part Iranian, and part international waters, and they are well-delineated and universally recognized.
