re: #50 Dread Pirate

The United Kingdom alleges a tanker it seized in the Straits of Gibraltar was to enforce EU rules against shipping oil to Syria.

Unlike the piracy in the Strait of Gibraltar, our action in the Persian Gulf is to uphold int’l maritime rules.

As I said in NY, it is IRAN that guarantees the security of the Persian Gulf & the Strait of Hormuz.

UK must cease being an accessory to #EconomicTerrorism of the US.
