This is clearly a tit for tat exercise by Iran, as the UK recently captured one of its oil tankers for clearly political reasons. So is Iran justified? Clearly yes, but what good would it do, though an argument would now ensue, 'release my tanker and I'll release yours?'

This is too serious an issue for kindergarten antics and Washington is directly to blame, not lap dog Britain which is following Washington's aggressive and unjustified policies on Iran attempting to incite yet another unnecessary war. My solution is simple, nuke Washington and Wall Street, hmmm, why not the entire USA, it is the cause of all the horror, mayhem and mass murder of the 21st century and the entire WORLD knows it? Trump is a captured puppet president and has no control over insane neocon foreign policy, which reduces to submit or we'll bomb you back to the stone age. Well, do your own dirty work America, and face the consequences.

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has said that it has captured a British oil tanker for breaching international maritime law while crossing the Strait of Hormuz.

The IRGC’s Public Relations Department said in a statement on Friday that the vessel named “Stena Impero” had been confiscated “at the request of Hormozgan Ports and Maritime Organization when passing through the Strait of Hormuz, for failing to respect international maritime rules.”

The oil tanker was transferred to the coast to undergo the required legal proceedings, the statement added.
