Well the response from the EU is pretty much as expected in guarding the ships in the Gulf, not one EU country has taken part, just the UK and USA, surely there must be EU ships transiting the Gulf ?, but they will not get involved, kt

No worries Keith, they will be there with us in spirit, just like they would if we were daft enough to join in with their army they dream of.

How many EU ships have been threatened with capture, or indeed how many EU countries have Iran warned that it may take action against them?
There's a rather strong corrolation with that answer to the reason why our fellow Europeans have rather sensibly remained at a distance from this heavily contrived spat.

Could the cost of sending ALL the British Navy hold up Brexit?

[happy daze john in oz]

No Des they could not possibly send both ships at the same time LOL.

I received an interesting article from 'Kong' today regarding the USA Nuclear Sub ability.
With such fire power, of which I am sure Iran, North Korea and Russia are well aware of I doubt any would want conflict with USA.

[Des Taff Jenkins]

HI John.
That's what puzzles me why break the treaty with Russia if they have enough weapons to blow the world up?
I'm reading a book called Maralinga by Judy Nunn, all about the testing in South Aus; and the careless way [or maybe not] they acted towards the Aboriginals who were still wandering around in the desert, still don't know, and will probably never now how many they killed in the name of Science.
Cheers Des

[happy daze john in oz]

Des, you are being very kind calling it science.

It was nothing more than a means to blow the world to hell and back.
So many wrongs have been done under the guise of 'scientific experiments', look at Japan with the whaling.

Apparently the ship can leave but as it put into Gibraltar initially for spares/repairs it cannot leave until they are fixed plus the Indian captain says he no longer wants to sail the vessel and has asked the Iranian owners to send a replacement.
