Iran 'seizes British-flagged oil tanker'
Exactly, which is pretty much what has happened:
- The Minister in Gibraltar made a unilateral decision (probably with some leaning on by the U.K. , themselves leant on by the US) to seize a vessel. He couldn’t do it himself, of course, so called big brother the U.K. and involved the Royal Marines.
- The U.K. then finds itself in a much bigger fight with Iran than expected (doh!) and is now running to anyone bigger that can help - the EU, the US, anyone.
Welcome to the future of the U.K. outside of the EU. Poodle to the US.
