This all started when the UK held an Iranian tanker.

Iran, which is not at war with anyone, has the right to sell oil to Syria if they like. Syria has the right to buy what they want from whoever they want.

But some deluded banker behind some desk in some oil dependent country decided to toss a tanker at Iran. More accurately, they are holding civilian Iranians on a ship and interfering with their right to earn a living, arrive home on time, and run a schedule. Who is the pirate? The United Kingdom. Who ordered it? The duly elected EU officials?

That's it! They are out during the next election cycle.

Talk of Iran breaking the terms of the deal seems to be the cause. But...

• the deal was never ratified
• the U.S. pulled out of the deal

Iran is responding to their tanker being held

So now the UK has to deal with their ships being taken and held. And the UK is mulling over a response.

I don't think so.

This IS the response.

Your ships are being held and you need to free the Iranian ship. Pinheads with nothing to do but piss people off should be the ones being held idle on a ship at sea. The Iranians will not play nice and they do know how to respond. Why poke the hornets nest, especially since you abandoned the property where it is built.

The news sites that have no readers can spin this any way that they want. It does not change the fact that Iran has no deal to abide by since it was abandoned by those who are sanctioning everyone and their brother.

I am no fan of Iran, but starving a country out because they are not abiding by a dead deal is as insane as the squad yelling racism when their ideas were criticized, not the color of their skin.

Has the world gone mad?

^{The Iranian ship that was ship-napped.}

Again, it all started when the UK held an Iranian tanker.

You can dish it out but you can't take it ?

You get what you ask for. Putting world peace at risk to push who buys what from who is ...

Insane
