Daily Mail: Military chiefs urge next PM to 'send in the MARINES' to protect ships as Iran taunts UK with footage of moment balaclava-clad commandos abseiled from helicopter and hijacked British tanker in 'tit-for-tat' strike
* The Stena Impero was seized in the Strait of Hormuz at 4pm yesterday by Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces
* British-registered tanker was ordered to turn to the north and was taken into Iranian territorial waters
* Warship HMS Montrose, which was patrolling the Persian Gulf, did a U-turn and raced to help captured ship
* A second vessel, the British-operated Mesdar was seized by Iran but was released after being inspected
* Following an emergency COBRA meeting, Iran was warned it faces 'serious consequences' for their actions
Military chiefs will this week brief Britain’s new Prime Minister on the mounting Iran crisis and tell him: ‘Send in the Marines’.
After the dramatic hijacking of the Stena Impero oil tanker carrying 23 crew by Iranian Special Forces, top brass were last night devising a list of options for a rapid military response.
It is understood they will seek the green light to deploy Royal Marines on British vessels travelling through the Strait of Hormuz to act as a deterrent to further aggression.
The involvement of the elite Iranian troops in the capture of the Stena Impero was broadcast on Iranian state television yesterday.

britshit started it.
but our editor loves israel and its vassal states. and so he branded "Iranian" pirates.
When you threaten the world, expect an embargo.
Well stated bs, 10:08, for a malcontent.
Iranian leadership is continuing to take its people on a dead end course.
The people of Iran deserve a better government, where pride and fundamentalist zealotry give way to being a functioning member of the international community. Same holds true for it neighbors across the Strait, and the many repressive juntas throughout the world, big and small. This includes the white nationalist, nativists and other anti liberal movements here at home and stirring in our present government.
We need to continue to foster what is best and highest in ourselves, communities and our government.
Good thoughts Anon.
When you are a serial liar and shill, expect an investigation.

NAPALM!!!!!!
only an idiot brainwashed liberal/communist can take a discussion about the piracy of fundamentalist islamic regime and transition to an attack on what they call "white nationalist, nativists and other anti liberal movements" in the USA. Pathetic simpletons. The natural end to Communist ideology is a collapsed nation and a bullet in the head.

how hard is it for Americans to mind their own business.
Let’s see, you are able to grok putting down Muslims killers and you accuse others whom you disagree with as being a communist who should have a bullet in their head when they espouse neither communist or socialists views. I see no difference in you and the Muslims you characterize or any other crazy zealots. Find the Middle Path you fascist heathen. You are no better than many of those you despise, likely worse since most of us living this blessed life here, have no conception of the hell and horrors the civilians of many cultures live as a life time norm.
Give peace a chance, and protect it from those who destroy. Teach peace!

Actually, the image that millions were burned at the stake by the inquisition is a modern myth. In any case, the numbers are absolutely dwarfed by those killed by communism in the 20th century.

I said other "Christians" not "millions" and given the population levels, middle ages versus the Nazi era time frame, you would expect the numbers to be significantly larger in comparison. I mentioned Christians because that group was in Anon's list.
Why bring the Nazis into the picture? Is there a reason to introduce the irrelevant at this point?
African Kings and Arab slavers sold millions of slaves.
African Kings sol millions of slaves and sent their sons to Paris for education

Sorry I meant communists, not Nazis, but my question remains.
Like hell they did, they've done nothing but appease and hinder the U. S at every move, the iranian tanker was illegal.

Iran must be annihilated,God wills it!!
Praise be to allaha
Yes but Christianity has moved on, Islam hasn't.
FAZ
yes. After a very long time...but having that record it makes a bit of sense to realize that what is going on elsewhere may some day also change and that we ought also recognize our past and stop trying to pretend we our and have been so righteous all along. example: Muslim and Jewish medical people were highly regarded during Christian domination in Europe because Catholics forbade dissection and thus were not very good medical people whereas non Catholics had better insights into medical things. Now this too has changed.

The early Christians were true believers but most of them were were killed off, fed to the lions more or less. They weren't particularly intelligent but did demonstrate the human tendency to become slaves. For them it was religious slavery which can be found even in America today.
The next generations of Christians, those Christians that came along during the middle ages were a disgusting bunch that ultimately gave rise to the growth of the Roman Catholic Church, a most ignoble organization that ruled a lot of people and which encouraged its followers to kill a lot of people.
That organizations stopped, scientific/medical research by imprisoning/murdering the "supposed perpetrators" and scaring the rest off.
Ultimately though that organization is likely why you, me and everyone else are alive. Think of where we are today, on the cusp of annihilation where should one idiot (I can think of one that might have access to enough nukes) decided to end it all and launched the nukes. It has come close to that before. That is a very real possibility. Had that Church not held that research and development back for what was maybe three to four hundred years, humanity would have been long gone, or at most returned back to the caveman days, centuries ago.
Well, the Iranian press can call them elite commandos, but that shot of them at the end jamming up on the fastrope makes them look like Keystone Cops.
Good keep it up
Elite republican guard anyone
Kill all atheist scum!
