Thats a good enough tanker they got, definitely worth a exchange for Irans chartered supertanker.

One has to wonder if that drone thing was just a cheap quadcopter jammed to create confusion for the real deal.

IRGC official website confirmed the report:
پایگاه خبری سپاه پاسداران انقلاب اسلامی - روابط عمومی نیروی دریایی سپاه اعلام کرد؛ توقیف یک فروند نفتکش انگلیسی در تنگه هرمز

They said this ship didn't respect the international maritime laws, so was seized by the request from Ports and Maritime Organization of Hormozgan province in the waters of strait of Hormuz..

Tit for tat for seizure of iranian ship by royal navy

Wait a minute, what happened to all of that super duper England warships, what happened to American and it's allies patrolling warships, was all that just a Hollywood show?

Iran claims the ship went into their waters, so there was not much they could do.

I would have expected each British ship given a helicopter deployed SBS team when crossing the straight beside from warship escort.

So you mean the captain of that tanker wanted to surrender his ship to Iranian?

Doubt he wanted to. The Iranians pounced on him the moment he crossed into the Iranian waters. Its very narrow as you pointed out.
