On Thursday the Iranians tried to seize a British oil tanker, only to be taught a lesson on why Briannia ruled the waves.
Western Journalism:
That's how you do it! When confronted with violence, be it a schoolyard bully or a rogue terrorist nation, you have to beare your teeth . Too bad the Brits didn't fire on them; then nobody could accuse the U.S. of starting anything.

Western Journalism:
The BP-owned tanker, the British Heritage, was headed into the Strait of Hormuz region when the boats from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps approached the vessel.
The boats then ordered the boat to enter Iranian territorial waters nearby, one might presume for seizure; the move came after an Iranian tanker, the Grace 1, was seized by the Royal Marines last week in Gibraltar for supposedly violating sanctions on shipping oil to Syria, Sky News reported.
However, the IRGC boats were forced to withdraw after the frigate, the HMS Montrose, approached the scene and trained its 30mm guns on them.
