So let me get this right now....
We've just had a spat with our closest ally, the U.S.
We're about to sever ties with our major trading partner, the EU.
We're jousting with a volatile middle-eastern nuclear power with our one and only ship in the Gulf...
We held up that Iranian tanker at Gibraltar on the premise that it violates EU (yes, please don't laugh) sanctions.
So, it begs the question : why? Why?Comment

Originally posted by Paddy View PostIt's all a bit messy. The EU is keeping low key about the Iranian tanker as they don't want to upset the UK during Brexit. However, the EU have said that there is no mandate to interject Iranian oil tankers. Indeed, the Iranian news has stated outright that the tanker was interjected by order of Trump and not the EU. Just to stir up matters, Iran has two forms of government running in parallel being the elected government and the supreme-leader with his revolutionary guard. The revolutionary guard are a law unto themselves and I have no doubt they are causing trouble with the shipping in the PG; the Iranian government will never admit that they don't have control over the revolutionary guard.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment
