The #UK's Royal Navy frigate HMS #Montrose had been escorting the tanker from the rear. It trained its deck guns on the #Iran-ians and gave them a verbal warning to back away which they did.

The Brits gave them fair warning and they slunk away.


Go, Brits!


That's like three times in three weeks I had to say that, and I'm half Irish.


I hate that shit.

CNN — Five armed Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps boats unsuccessfully tried to seize a British oil tanker in the Persian Gulf Wednesday, according to two US officials with direct knowledge of the incident.

The British Heritage tanker was sailing out of the Persian Gulf and was crossing into the Strait of Hormuz area when it was approached by the Iranian boats. The Iranians ordered the tanker to change course and stop in nearby Iranian territorial waters, according to the officials. A US aircraft was overhead and recorded video of the incident.

The UK's Royal Navy frigate HMS Montrose had been escorting the tanker from the rear. It trained its deck guns on the Iranians and gave them a verbal warning to back away, which they did. Montrose is equipped on the deck with 30 mm guns specifically designed to drive off small boats.

UK officials had previously confirmed that the Montrose was in the region performing a "maritime security role."

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani warned earlier Wednesday that the UK "will see the consequences" after Gibraltar officials and UK Royal Marines seized an Iranian oil tanker bound for Syria last week, according to Rouhani's press office...

HMS Montrose, a Type 23 frigate, is travelling with the British Heritage tanker off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, according to a ship tracking website and a defence source.

Arm the crew on these tankers with .50 BMGs

Iran lives in a fantasy world and it is on a collision course with reality.

Quote from the movie The Hunt For Red October..."This is going to get out of hand....and get out of hand quickly".
The Navy Skipper talking about planes crashing on his ship, the fire, and the chaos of a Russian Sub on the loose.

Once a major incident occurs it doesn't even matter who started it. The difficult part is trying to stop it. War.

:this3:

Reality is a bitch

It sure can be at times.


It sure can be.

Islamic Revolutionary GuardS should take note

Guess we’re gonna see how fast Iran can enrich uranium.

I smell false flag Saudi Khashoggi served up to cause war between UK and Iran. Event highly unlikely. Probably propaganda to the people sheeple
