Iran seizes two UK tankers in Strait of Hormuz

[xsnaggle]

Britain had no right to seize the Iranian tanker. It was another illegal act and more toadying to the Yanks, and we all know whose orders they follow. That's the country their politicians and corporate media never criticise.

Nothing to do with the yanks. It was deemed to be attempting to breach EU sanctions prevent oil being delivered to Syria .
We are members the EU and I believe were supporting Spain in the action

EU sanctions doesn't trump international law. Strait of Gibraltar is an international maritime route; UK had no business hijacking the vessel. They did so to please the Yanks. Tanker detained by Gibraltar on U.S. request to Britain, Spain says: https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-mi...-idUKKCN1TZ0ZJ

The Iranian tit for tat measures are justified because retaliation against illegal acts are permissible under international law. (Yes, those same international laws the UK keep ignoring.)
