  1. Why wouldnt they? It`s a tanker not a warship.

  4.  Bob Marshel  Japan has a higher debt to GDP ratio than the UK does that mean Japan is broke too?

  5.  @undeadpresident  Which is exactly why you would send a small relatively inauspicious 3 boat group to do the job. Unless the Tankers carry armed security contractors it is not difficult to stop a ship and coerce it into your own territorial limits.

  6.  @undeadpresident  Oh what a knowledge laden reply that was. You have obviously never taken part in a Gulf deployment have you. As you were.

  7.  @johnjohn-ni1sq  I have nothing against Iranians, but they should not get into a fight they are going to lose.  It is pretty obvious the MOD and CENTCOM are coordinating with shipping companies regards shipping movements in the Gulf, a US drone / or manned platform was on overwatch , the RN with an escort. 3 small boats are not going to stop a tanker using these tactics. The Iranians are obviously upset with Britain`s taking of it`s tanker Grace1 but it is not a good idea to fight against a country that supports the Iran Nuclear deal. They also need to understand the UK has other political committments, and a weak hand at the trade negotiating table as we prepare our begging bowl post Brexit.

  10.  @KH-sc8yn  If Iran had attacked that tanker crew the Iranians would now be fish food. They withdrew for that reason alone, big bad Iran it is not.

  11.  @KH-sc8yn  just because a military has concerns, doesnt mean they would not be able to destroy the enemy.

  12.  @KH-sc8yn  Why are you obfuscating about Japan`s fertility rate, what does that have to do with proving an argument about debt to GDP ratio and bankruptcy? It`s because you don`t have an argument.
