Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps boats tried, failed to seize British oil tanker in Persian Gulf
FOX News, July 10, 2019
Five Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps gunboats tried to seize a British oil tanker in the Persian Gulf Wednesday but backed off after a British warship approached, a senior U.S. defense official told Fox News.

Strange “revolutions” are those that make people unfree. Hitler clai-
med it, Stalin, Mao & Khomeini. On the other hand, can these dicta-
torships be resented for not having to live as “liberally” as we do?
A British warship approached? Ship to ship missile launch would have been my first option.
nah, not for small boats. just work on em with bofors or 25/30mm cannon.
Yeah but cannon fire doesn’t make as pretty a picture as HE warheads.
why waste Missiles (each cost $2 – 10 Milion) when cannon blast cost few thousand ? If you are spending more to take out enemy assets then what they are worth then you are doing a bad job.
But what to do with jihadis within America/EU ?
Jihadi says in arabic “conquest of America” must for establishing islamic caliphate https://tinyurl.com/y7kuzjdw
And that group is active in EU/Australia/North America !
Don’t you know in this brave new world that everything is about “the optics?” Seeing their comrades vaporised by a Hellfire or similar would make a lot of them think twice about getting close to a British ship again. After all, if it is good enough for ISIS training compounds it has to be good enough for the IIRG.
Bill Clinton fired dozens of $1 million dollar cruise missiles at empty tents once.
Did I say it was great idea ?!
Every tanker should be equipped with proper means of defense.
Yes, but their usually Asiatic crews work for room and board compared to Western Mariners.
…mostly Asiatic muslim crews…
I believe armed merchant ships (i.e. privately owned ships) are prohibited by international law.
Maritime Law forbids such. That is why the sooomaawwwlee pirates, have been able to capture large seagoing craft.
What if some enterprising nation/company were to say f*ck maritime law and begin arming their freighters and tankers? Who’s going to stop them? I’d arm my freighters and begin dragging my coattails off the coast of Somaliastan. A German armed, disguised merchant raider managed to sink an Australian light cruiser during WW2 — and no one got off alive.
Quite a few commercial vessels have started hauling private security personnel along. They are armed, solely with small munitions, but they’ve blown every negro moslem pirate boat of the water, that they’ve encountered. There are some videos available …. You should hear the moslems squeal, like the stuck pigs that they are.
I saw a Russian video where they dragged the muslum Somali pigs and their littoral boat a hundred miles off shore then set them free.
Castrate them and let the swim to shore.
The Somali muslum pigs’ open boats didn’t have the range to ever get back to land and the Russians dragged their sh!tty little open boats out to the open sea and over the horizon so how are the Somali muslum pigs ever going to find their way back to land?
Fine. However, they should have been castrated none-the-less.
As usual you make up information that is totally wrong. International Maritime Law DOES NOT FORBID ANYTIME OF ARMS. The carrying of arms on a merchant vessel is governed by the laws of the country of the flag the ship flys. However, these laws are superseded by the laws of any country whose territorial waters a vessel enters.
Once again you show your gross ignorance of the way the world operates and, as any racist liar, you continue to promote lying propaganda.
Get a basic education for you have none.
https://www.un.org/depts/los/convention_agreements/convention_overview_convention.htm
Maritime Law has been around FAR longer than the United Nations. Small arms are acceptable .. .but, that’s about as far as it goes, little one. Once again, you have HUMILIATED yourself.

When you are caught, once again, HUMILIATING yourself, you go back to the same singular word. TOO funny.
Extinction
Turn the hose on them and cool ’em down. 😉
By which ever means those three boats should have been sunk immediately with no survivors to be taken.
England is as much of an enemy as Iran so who cares really.

I believe Great Britain paid back all the lend lease debts they owed the US after WW2 — unlike the USSR.
It makes no difference to fools. I think this is deliberate divisive trolling meant to waste our time.
The only troll here is YOU. May be you should spend more time focusing on your history classes than spitting opinion out your backside like a Chili Fart. I would assume (LOL) you are the kind of person who would complain they cannot see the forest for all the trees you keep running into.
Ohh a very intelligent answer from a self acknowledged “expert” who is so bigoted he cannot even see the trees let alone the wood.
Non ma’am. I deal in facts and logic. And I have an education but not like that counts since all us Americans are fat beer swilling gun toting cowboys riding on lawn mowers buying lottery tickets and wearing pointy cowboy boots as far as you are concerned. Or am I missing something?
Actually if you think about it look at the history of the Merlin engine being used to produce aircraft for England. They “licensed” us to produce the engine but then when the tide of war turned they demanded a large increase in that licensing. England then decided it was up to them to draw up new borders for nations (in other words their version of State Building) leaving us with the Middle East we know now including creating Palestine out of thin air. They tossed Shiite, Kurd, and Sunni all within the same borders not understanding the friction they would in turn create. THEN in modern day history they were going behind our backs on the Iran Sanctions and helped make matters worse in the Middle East by trying to play Swiss Banker with Iran. There is WAY more to this than just Lend Lease.
Perfidious Albion sold out Israel in the Mid-East in ’48’, although they tried to make amends by selling their state of the art Centurion tanks to Israel right before the ’73’ Yom Kippur War.
BTW, FDR was a communist sympathizer. Why do you think he handled the Russians with such a limp wrist?
Ignorance, especially when bigoted, is not a virtue. We all have contempt for the ruling “elite” of the world and that applies to the USA as much as the UK. The USA is simply lucky that its constitution has a couple of useful amendments lacking in the UK. To tar the UK people with such a brush defines your knowledge of the place and your awareness of what is happening in the world. FYI the USA finished up with >60% of the world’s gold in 1945 after 4 years war, while the UK in for 6 years was financially broke by 1945. So keep your bigotry to yourself.
Best comment in a long time. About our US Constitution; I recommend The Athenian Democracy in The Age of Demosthenes (1991, Blackwell) by Mogens Herman Hansen. We have not been taught the whole truth about mob rule.
Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the rest.
Nice try. While the USA was sanctioning Iran to prevent them from developing Nukes the English were doing business with Iran behind our backs even after agreeing to uphold sanctions against them. And then coming up with the Bank of Islam via the Bank of England? I am sorry but duplicity is a strong English trait. And considering what England had done to China (look up the history of England using OPIUM to influence Chinese politics leading to the Boxer Rebellion) and India during their occupation like stealing as much of their wealth as they could get their hands on… PLEASE, England does not have clean hands either. And then how they handled the BP Disaster in the Gulf…
England made Pakistain and Bangladesh a lot safer places for Hindus and Sikhs than it ever was under the f’ing muslums, Kol.
No England didn’t carve Pakistain from India — Gandhi and his fellow Hindu collaborators did. The formation of Bangladesh (spit) had nothing to do w/GB at all. Both Pakistain and Banagladesh (spit) were MUCH safer places for Hindus and Sikhs than they ever were under muslum rule.
WRONG! While I despise using Wikipedia for a source you can also invoke your own search basked on what I am going to present to you.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_India
So if you look up “The Partitioning of India” you will get your facts straight. Ghandi was more concerned with getting the English out than anything else. He had nothing to do with the process and if anything opposed it. Pakistan was English Appeasement for Islam and it never appeased them. The Sikhs wound up getting the short end of the stick thanks to England.
U f’ing retard, the muslums slaughtered 3.5 million Hindus between 1948 and 1972 in Pakistain and Bangladesh, that never happened under British rule you f’ing quarter-wit.,
Boy, you can’t read, CAN YOU???
Gandhi opposed the partition? Only in your dreams you muslum cuck.
I despise Islam and you call me a Muslim Cuck? You are such a total brain dead cock sucker I am not sure where to start, your lack of reading comprehension or lack of education? Ghandi was not interested in seeing India divided up by England. He wanted England out of India YOU COMPLETE MORON. But I digress, your attempt to gaslight me is not working let alone your fallacious twisting facts around to suit your narrative. Read a book MF. But please pull your head from your butt so you can see the book you need to read. And I suggest you stop trying to read Atlas Shrugged. You are such a sh*t head words cannot embrace enough of that to describe your condition adequately.
You are the kind of person who would catch a bullet to the back of your head from your own troops because you are such a idiot and a retard. YOU are your own worst enemy. PEACE OUT BEYATCH.
Gandhi was killed by a fellow Hindu because he was a f’ing traitor to Hindus and a muslum collaborator.
He was killed by a (cough) Nationalist who felt he was too sympathetic towards Muslims. Ghandi always preached Peace over all else and that belief got him killed. Please try and present your facts properly. The Indian Government did not kill him unless there was a cover up of a larger conspiracy. The assassination was committed by a hand full of Indian Patriots.
Between us sunshine Genghis Khan ALMOST got how to deal with Islam properly. The Uhigars are what was left when he burned Bhagdad to the ground. Sadly the UN has their lips clamped tightly to Islam and why we suffer them here in America at this point bothers me a lot.
So if you gotta be a hater BE the Hater. But do be a dear and get your facts straight. You actually think I have sympathy or respect for a cult based on a thieving murderous misogynistic Pedophile who also engaged in bestiality and talked to imaginary friends hiding in a cave drinking water from cave walls and licking lichen? I hate all organized religion. So about your foot in your mouth, ready to spit it out yet?
FO muslum cuck. A Hindu killed Gandhi because he conspired w/the f’ing muslums while leaving the Hindus out to dry. Gandhi and his muslum pig buddy Nehru did NOTHING for the million odd Hindus and Sikhs slaughtered by the f’ing muslums across Pakistain in ’48’.
Now you got your foot in up to your knees there AH. First of all Gandhi and Nehru were way too stunk up about PEACE to think clearly. Stop being such a dick in mouth AH. Nehru would not take China on while they were invading India on a Land Grab. Indian troops died because Nehru would not commit to an air attack to support the troops trying to keep China on their side of the border. They were not supporters or sympathizers for Muslims YOU DORK. They were “peace above all else” and people died because of them. Boy a meeting between us would be interesting because I am not a peaceful person. I ride a thin line between peace and violence. I only lay one olive branch down and then if that is not taken seriously what comes next DOES get taken seriously. Do not make me slap the taste out of your mouth for being such a total jerk and self righteous hater. I may hate Islam a LOT considering I did read the Quran. DO not assume me to be some John Lennon “Make Love not War” type. I am a “Peace first, CRUSH THEM MERCILESSLY OTHERWISE,” kind of person. I had no respect for Gandhi and WAY less for Nehru. I only respect strong leadership that is capable of rolling up the sleeves and getting dirty when needed, not arm chair generals such as yourself. If it were up to me I would love to see Islam and all its supporters mercilessly put down like diseased animals. At least Jews are not out to kill everyone but even they cause a lot of problems in the world such as trying to drag us into their Multicultural views. People like you are just ignorant haters with no real focus as to your hatred. And like you are showing you are just projecting your hate on others who do not see things your way.
Please go F yourself and get a life. Take off the Aluminum Foil hat and get some sun. Also seek counseling because one day your hate is going to get you into trouble you will never recover from. You probably need a good ass whipping but that is not my job or up to me to really determine. However you cross the wrong person with that attitude and you are going to go down like the bitch you are. Stop being so ignorant and self centered. Way too many people like you talk big but haven’t got the balls or the backbone to really back that play. Do try and have a nice day.

FGS if you want to throw stones and cause further division the USA has NO clean hands over all of the Americas as well as the ME and everyone bar you knows this. I agree that UK policy post WW2 has been selfish, short-sighted , bigoted(as antiwhite) and stupid but look at Carter, Kennedy, Johnson, Clinton and Obama and their little roles in screwing up the west. By all means be patriotic but do not rubbish a nation(and it isn’t mine) when its leaders do exactly the same as do yours. Your arrogance is incredible. Here is a question for you: give the REAL reason why the USA declared independence from the UK and no rubbish about taxation without representation.
Ah but these same nation point their fingers at us and blame us for the mess they made. So your comment is a bit arrogant if you think about it. The UN made America the police of the world and the EU uses us to enforce their energy policies as well as using us for a piggy bank to prop up their socialism. I got PLENTY of room to talk.
And to your question, considering England would force us to use wooden shovels instead of allowing us to make and use our own metal shovels, conscripting Americans for their military, force us to act as slaves to them, strip our economy and keep us poor by intent, treating the colonials as criminals or dissidents, and of course social and economic suppression, and as well as that being biased in policy towards Colonials it was no wonder we broke off from England. Taxation without Representation was only part of it so stop trying to come off as if you are more educated than I am. I did not suffer from a Public School education. I got a real education in real schools who taught real studies like Math, History, and many other subjects. And you? Time to look down for a change because you will go blind looking up at the sun all the time.
Besides, look at what America has now, Misrepresented Taxation and political Misrepresentation. Have a wonderful day.
Hey! You rubbished the UK I just threw back a bit of tat. The elite in the USA no longer control the USA thx to Trump but these scum still control most of Europe and elsewhere and are trying so hard to grab the USA back. The war is not UK vs USA despite your chauvinism. it is the unsung masses vs the elite globalists. Get that straight and all will be well. I wont read the rest of your post as it isn’t worth me saying more. We are on the same side just cut out the flag waving to the detriment of others. Example? is there ANYONE in the USA who is a political prisoner like Tommy Robinson? Stop alienating allies. I can run down the USA, the UK ..anyone/anwhere but it does not help.
Exposing your ignorance with such a ridiculous statement as that only demonstrates your education has been severely neglected.
The same applies to those who respond in like manner as though you were in some sort of derby to see who can outdo the other.
Intelligent, informed, comment that one.
England is probably not going to wind up in a shooting war with Iran. The fact here is Iran is attempting Piracy and a English Destroyer scared them off. Had there been a shooting exchange England would call upon America to join in on the fun and then Iran gets the war they want. If Russia is so interested in peace they would convince the Iranians to STFU and behave. Once Iran gets nukes there will be war no matter what. Then what will Russia do? They will complain and sit back and stay out of the way or get dragged into a war they especially do not want.
I can actually agree that the current gutless UK leaders(sic!) would not want a shooting war. Since Churchill died not one leader except Thatcher was worth putting out if on fire. But why do you think if they became involved in one that they would run to the USA? Perhaps you have forgotten the Falklands? Rhetoric is not fighting and like 1939 waiting for Godo to arrive at the front may take a while.
Iran would be biting off more than they could chew. Unlike Argentina who bloodied the English good and sank a pair of ships and damaged another the victory of the Falklands was pretty costly. And to think the Falklands was purely fought when the Argentinians found there to be oil in that location. England was set to return the islands to Argentina but changed their minds when they discovered oil hence the war. You are right, rhetoric does not win wars. England sold its soul to Globalism and now is trying to undo that and Teresa May screwed England good as England is trying to separate from the EU. Also London is now a gigantic NO GO ZONE thanks to Mayor Kahn and Islam. If they piss in Iran’s shoes and a shooting war starts the USA will indeed get dragged right in just like the EU made us do for Libya when they embargoed Italy and France for oil. Iran was all about putting OPEC in its place way above any war on terror.
Not much to disagree with there. The UK elite are the ones who helped create this mess NOT your average Brit. The UK could not take on Iran right now with the current welfare bill but she could give their guard a deserved bloody nose and remember London is the financial capitol of Europe and Iran needs access to it.
London strives to be the Economic Capital of the world. Want to find the evil in this world, follow the money and where it leads. I do feel sympathy for the English caught in the shadows of the mess their leadership makes but the people of England made that mess and now clean up may be far bloodier than anticipated. I just hope that the English can get it in their heads Socialism has failed them miserably and why embrace a failure? The average Brit may have to obtain weapons and do to the police and strip the leadership of the protections they enjoy from their failure to England itself. The police there are CLEARLY a problem in that they empower the vile crap going on there. The politicians need to be drawn and quartered publicly in a display of how England used to handle their traitors. Here in America we just hung them. It is time for England to kick the pigs out of the farm house if you catch my reference. It is time for an English Revolution against Globalism and time to put a leash on the bankers who live above the law.
If we had anyone but Trump I would agree. I hope and like to believe he wouldn’t fall for it. We should get the hell our of the mid east, close down 90% of our foreign bases and let the Europeans guard their own oil shipments. If they don’t have the guts or ability to do it, not much lost, the way most of Europe is going.
Anyone but Trump? Thank GOD we are not saddled with Hillary. Thank God it was not me sitting as President. I would have gone before Congress, reminded them of Iran’s TWO declarations of war against us, reminded the Russians and Chinese of said declarations and tell both of them to stay the F out of our way and began bombing every Mosque, Military base and airfield, their ports, and every facility they us to produce Uranium. I would leave it to the Israelis, Kurds, and Saudis to do the boots on the Ground stuff and offer Russia the chance to rebuild them with the warning they had better get it right or we are going to come back and flatten Iran again. And if Communist China wanted to play games with us the tariffs on their goods would be the least of their worries. Sorry but Trump is handling things pretty good considering we are not in a full blown war with anyone YET. However Iran is desperate for a fight they will loose and are hoping they can hide behind the Russians.
Also where Europe is concerned, I would drop a huge bill on them for services rendered and they they cannot pay seize their oil tankers myself and let them freeze during the winter and shut their industry down. They are dependent on control of oil considering they have NO RESERVES of their own on the mainland. Either they play fair too, stop trying to culture vipers and empower our enemies. East Europe does not deserve the treatment they get from us let alone West Europe. West Europe tried to conquer them and then left them in the hands of Communist Russia after WW2.
F the EU. F Communist China, and F the Russians too if they do not get it in their heads Islam is no ones friend let alone trying to make America sit on its hands in the face of a declaration of war by one of their economic trade partners or allies.
They shoot. They don’t score!
Islam in a nutshell.
I imagine a conversation went something like this in the cockpit:
Hail them on the radio and give them a warning. If it is ignored, you may fire when you are ready, Gridley.
State sponsored piracy? Why isn’t this an act of war?
No real details to support the hype in the headline.
Iran will say they just wanted to trade for toilet paper and toothpaste.
LOL.
Given the proud history of the Royal Navy, what chance do a gaggle of ragheads piloting bass boats have in any maritime maneuver?
It is the equivalent of a gnat crawling up an elephant’s leg with rape on its mind.
But what to do with jihadis within America/EU ?

It is better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it.
Fire when ready.
Good example of why Britain needs a navy.
But it’s a lot smaller now than it should be. Theresa May’s incompetence again.
she’s not incompetent……she’s been bought and paid for and doing her job to the best of her ability
Traitors are very dedicated and hard working.
no matter what country….they’re reading the same manual
Good example of why Britain needs a navy.
Iran….as in…I tried to seize a tanker, but I RAN away when another ship came to help. They should blast these Iranian p*ssy gun boats to kingdom come on site. They are only there to cause trouble….
As is the case with all bullies as well as wannabe tin horn dictators they run away when people stand up to them
Trump to Putin: “Drop the mullahs and we’ll split the proceeds.”
Too bad the Iranians didn’t try to attack the oil tanker, so the British war ship could blow them out of the water.
OK
slowly ground down into poverty what is Iran’s answer
to protect their ego Mullah egos will lead to war
Should have blown them out of the water.
They need to be treated like Somali pirates but with more force. Thhose patrol boats should have been blown out of the water and “disappeared.” The Frigate that responded could have chased them all the way back to port and destroyed them there.
Its about time countries start to step up and put these clowns in their place – too bad the bozos did’nt push it and get their asses handed to them as they Sooooo deserve
Time to arrest the two traitors who have been helping Iran for the past 10 years. Obama and Kerry need to be taken into custody for treason! That would solve a lot of our problems. As for Iran, if their citizens are smart, they will force a change of government.
