Link
A group of eight or nine armed individuals are believed to have boarded the vessel, named Asphalt Princess, the security source told Sky News .......... "It was an unauthorised boarding in the Gulf of Oman," the security source said. There is no British link to the tanker, however a spokesman for the UK's foreign office said: "We are urgently investigating an incident on a vessel off the UAE coast." It comes as the Associated Press reported that at least four vessels sent out warnings saying they had lost control of their steering. Iran's foreign ministry said reports of an incident were "suspicious", but warned against any attempts to make a "false atmosphere" against Tehran. ............. It follows a suspected drone attack on the Mercer Street vessel, which has been blamed on Iran by the United States, UK and Israel. British special forces are assisting in the investigation into what happened aboard the Israeli-linked ship last week. The Mercer Street is Japanese owned, but was sailing with a Liberian Flag. Zodiac Maritime, the UK firm that manages the vessel, is part of Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer's Zodiac Group. The incident left a British security guard aboard the vessel and a Romanian crew member dead. |

We really should find some justification to give their government pirate ships a bad bloody nose. "We kindly ask you don't board any more ships, or we will be forced to again to run down and sink the iran boats as they try to get away, and set the survivors adrift in lifeboats. We apologize for any inconvenience." Something like that.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The potato won’t do a fucking thing Quote HistoryQuoted: The potato won’t do a fucking thing Honestly would not be surprised if the Brits get it on this time. They're pissed about the MERCER STREET attack. British special forces are helping to investigate a suspected Iranian attack on an Israeli-linked oil tanker in the Arabian Sea that left a UK national dead, Sky News understands. The team, which is based in the region, was expected to have arrived on Monday at the as-yet undisclosed site where the MT Mercer Street vessel is located. The deployment of a special forces team to assist in the response to the assault off the coast of Oman last Thursday is a sign of the sensitive nature of the investigation and the expertise required. It came as Britain's prime minister said Iran must "face up to the consequences" of its actions, while Tehran warned it would respond "promptly and strongly" to any threat against its security. Iran has denied any involvement in the attack after the UK, the US and Israel directly accused it of carrying out the assault with one or more drones. Two people were killed - a British security guard on the vessel and a Romanian crew member. Boris Johnson said: "This was clearly an unacceptable and outrageous attack on commercial shipping." The UK has promised a "concerted response". Israel - which is already locked in a shadow conflict with Iran - called on Monday for international action.
