Britain Begins Escorting All UK Vessels Through Strait of Hormuz


Strait of Hormuz

(Worthy News) – Britain has started sending a warship to accompany all British-flagged vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, a change in policy announced Thursday after the government previously said it did not have resources to do so.

Tensions have spiked between Iran and Britain since last Friday when Iranian commandos seized a British-flagged tanker in the world’s most important waterway for oil shipments. That came two weeks after British forces captured an Iranian oil tanker near Gibraltar, accused of violating sanctions on Syria.

HMS Montrose, a British frigate now in the area, carried out the first mission under the new policy Wednesday evening. [ Source: VOA News (Read More…) ]
