Updated position of British flagged crude oil tanker Hakusan. (Update: pg. 2. Iranian speedboats tracking next to tanker.)

The Brits can't possibly escort all their tankers at once, can they? The Iranians will likely try to seize one that's not being escorted by a warship.

Seems expensive.



Nations will seek a more practical way to "prevent" Iran from harassing their shipping.

Only a matter of time.

The escorts can only be a temporary measure that begs for a more permanent solution.

Intel crabs discord is tracking them.

I'm thinking the #AtlanticPioneer will do it's best to avoid Iranian water. Potential route drawn below. #OSINT #Iran
