Did Iran grab a British oil tanker in Hormuz?

Yes LLL, and a Liberian registered tanker. Tit for tat for the Iranian tanker we impounded off Gibraltar. All getting very dangerous. :(

I was actually at the Golden Arches with the Grandson when I read that on a ticker line on a TV they had that was broadcasting the news. Hadn't heard anything else about it.

Seems to me Iran is getting rather provocative. The 'game(s)' are getting dangerous.

Although British registered it actually belongs to Sweden and all the crew are foreign, no doubt the result will be a convoy system and as usual the Iranian speed boats will keep nipping out to annoy the convoy. I keep asking my self why after all these years haven't the Arab oil producers in the region constructed a canal across their side of the narrow choke point in the straights of Hormus or even a pipeline system that puts the oil transport well within a friendly country?

A pipeline is a good idea however I can see it possibly getting blown up quite regular. Building a regulated canal system would be the ticket. It isn't like there are huge enormous land masses to transverse.

I can however see this as the start of an escalating issue.......

They kick off now and again LLL, its their way when they are being ignored, biggest problem is that all the oil companies will use it as an excuse to raise fuel prices, they do it everytime.
