Lots of speculation on Twitter.

Usually all it ever is though.

I expect the British navy is in an even worse state.

I'll be honest and say the minute i heard about that Russian sub i said to myself there is more to this than we are being told. If Pence has been called back for emergency talks it all seems a bit weird.

British aircraft carriers removed the Harrier and since have had no planes on their carriers.
An aircraft carrier which has no planes is a metaphor for uselessness, like a pub with no beer, or a car with no wheels.

Think I'd definitely rather board a US ,EU , British military vessel rather than risk getting on to a russian floating coffin

That's why they are getting the F35

At least they currently field the most modern carrier on seas

I seeing lot of rumors, but i think its fake news personally, internet crazy lke that.

If there was a military incident the US AWACs would be up in the air immediately, patrolling the west coast.Seeing nothing like this so i ruling out a military incident between Nato and Russia.

I have feeling he was called back for a meeting about something, best guess is Iran. It could be something else though.

Yes Obama disliked Netanyahu and he signed the Iranian deal with other European powers, China and Russia to stop Israel from starting a war. If Obama listened to Israel there would be no deal in 2015.

Was not a terrible deal. All enrichment was watched closely by IAEA. They hated the deal because it allowed the Iranians to keep building missiles for defence. Israel wants Iran to be defenceless and be weak miitarily. Iran was not going allow inspections of their military sites. Israel is seeking to destroy the regime, the nuclear threat just part of the game.

You're bang on, Iran had fcuk all defenses when Sadam attacked and now Iran is making sure that will never happen again... Of course this doesn't suit Israel so it has its poodle pull out of the deal and try use sanctions and gun boat diplomacy to force Iran into a new deal that will be more favourable to them

Does this apply to the actions of your own Government also? Or should we just blindly believe people like John Bolton?

It is good to review the actions of one's past, including ours. But you can't judge something on bad actions that's happened 200 years ago, or so, if most actions since those times were for the better. But, by all means, keep us on our toes.

Iran has threatened to seize a British oil tanker if the Iranian tanker detained in Gibraltar is not immediately released, according to the tabloids.

Very strange they sailed the supertanker full of crude oil from Iran, all the way around Africa, to get to Baniyas refinery in Syria, surely they'll miss their emission targets.

Seized in an act of blatant piracy would be a more accurate description.

Finding this explanation strange also. It was definately an Iranian tanker though.

UK military seized it, you find pictures online showing men with full combat gear onboard the ship. Its a form of piracy.

Iran tries to takeover a UK ship, there be action almost immediately from them.

Royal marine commando's

How is it piracy when the vessel was being used to bypass international sanctions ,

Its ok for the UK to rob an oil tanker belonging to another country. Sorry not buying the US and UK explantation whatsoever for this seizure. Why would Iran be shipping a tanker full of oil to Syria? Syria has its own oil. I can understand if Iran shipped oil to Africa and then they boarded it to annoy Iran.

UK playing a dangerous game alongside the US.

Iranians gave the Americans a warning when they brought down a 100 million dollar drone. Iran not messing around.

America has not got the manpower or capabilities to take on the Shia population in the Middle East. War against Iran would cause serious harm to the world economy. Literally 40 per of world oil flows through the hormuz strait, just there. Never mind what happens if Saudis oil facilities are hit by Iranian missiles.

Okay… I guess. The US is by no means perfect, but it is still considered the best. A Gallup survey notes that 1 out of 25 adults on the planet would move to the US if they could. That’s more than the next four countries combined. And we continue to try and get things right.

It could well be weapons related ,it's not the first nor the last time an Iranian ship has been boarded usually it happens off the coast of Africa by Israeli forces .

America might not have the man power to take on all the shias in the middle East but they can strike any where in Iran 24/7 with impunity ,

I see it's been claimed Israel has breached Iranian airspace regularly the last few weeks undetected too

In very recent history the US has destroyed many countries and killed hundreds of thousands of people, many innocent men, women and children. To get people to fall into step and support such actions the US has lied about the reasons for war, in Iraq its was WMD's in Vietnam it was the Gulf of Tolkin incident. I dont believe now that John Bolton will tell the truth about why he wants to destroy Iran. The USA is the bad guy here when it invades and destroys peoples lives.

I am sure parts of the US are great to live in but that does not mean much to a family that has lost a love one through US imperialism.

Christ, when your approval ratings are so low, start a war. Trump is bollixed though. The Americans are wise to this now. His military bullsh went down like a lead balloon.

Trump is seventy-odd. These voters are 30s. They're not stupid.

The invasion of Iraq was not a war, it was an invasion to steal oil. It didn't work. The US are still there now.

An attack on Iran will be an invasion, not a war. It will be the last ditch attempt to stoke support in a failed Presidency. There is zero support for it. Trump is done for.
