US - Iran Flare Up

The crew will be freed. Don't worry about that. Think of the tanker and it's contents and the ramifications of the seizure.
Just means that Iran will get more tankers seized, more crippling sanctions and a possible blockade. Just digging a big hole for themselves.

That's precisely what they want. They want the entire region to go up in flames so that they can shut down the Straits of Hormuz. And the US and it's lap dog UK are falling into this trap lock stock & barrel.

I don't agree.i think Iran can't fight against allies.america and allies are very strong.iran is getting crazy and only wants war but for what? For oil sanctions? Chabahar investment is in danger.why you invested money in a revolutionary mullah regime? They want war and I feel there will be limited war.iran can't shut down hormuz.it us not possible for them.more nato warships will arrive soon.thry can't fight against warships with irgc boats.

They might get shutdown instead, unable to get any ships in or out. They can then either choose a war they can't win or to be sensible.

Eventually, yes. In the interim, the region goes up in flames, oli prices hit the sky, the world economy goes bust, etc. It's more in keeping with the Hindi / Urdu phrase - Hum toh doobe sanam....

Worry about Pakistan dude , if Pakistan decides to serve their arab masters , Iranians might attack your investments in Gwadar

Sanctions already block Iranian oil exports, so they can't do crap, and right now there's a large naval task force sailing down there with the intention of stopping any Iranian boats that come within 1 mile of a tanker.

From the UK? Don't make me laugh, will you.
 
It's coming.
Not only are you dull yourself, you're the cause of dullness in others. Ever since Trump withdrew the US from the deal they had with Iran, this attracted opposition from all the parties concerned including the EU & Britain. Do you think this same lot will ally themselves with Trump to take on Iran militarily and make a bad situation worse. The Persian Gulf is going to see more presence of the allied Navy to try to prevent Iranian mischief. That's about it. Nothing more nor less. And the tankers impounded will see their crew set free first, minus their cargo followed by the tankers themselves.However, this would take some time more.

You mean Iran will submit and release the tanker, damn right they will.

After you do, Paddy.Or after a mutual face saving deal. Al Jazeera is already reporting Britain seeks a diplomatic resolution.

Tch tch!! How the once mighty British have fallen! Were this the 80's and Thatcher in charge, the Iranians wouldn't even dream of such an action. Even the Iranians have grasped the simple truth that you're ruled by political & intellectual dwarves, with rusty equipment
& no stomach for a fight. In other words you're a third rate global power or in dummy terms - a cuck.
 
US want another war to lose, as if their tally is not big enough, how long before Trump realize his button is tiny like his hands and do complete 180 like with North Korea and become 1st President after decades to visit Tehran singing praises of Ayatollah.

Couldn't win from untrained, poorly funded Taliban and dreaming of defeating fairly strong Iran. Except killing more civilians, loss of property and destroying one more country not much can US do.
