Wouldn't matter if Iran is losing each ship then as you said.

Looks like Britain will have to respond by taking another Iranian ship.

A dozen unarmed crew can't do much. Think how easy it was for the Somali pirates to take them.

UK ships are apparently now excluded from the Persian Gulf club, no-go area.

Has that become official? Iran will hijack or sink any British ships entering the Persian Gulf?

They should say good by to any shipping in Persian Gulf if they did so.

Hardly any iranian ships in the sea. So much sanctions, while strait of hormuz is a lifeline, too many ships to fish.

Same for shipping to Mediterranean Sea.

So seizing that Iranian ship was like seizing the whole entire Iranian fleet.
