It's time to blockade their Navy.
You leave port, we sink you . End of story.
I'm listening to the President right now, his response was: 'We have a good relationship with UK, good ally. We'll be speaking with them more.' 'We don't really have many tankers, we have been growing our oil for the last 2 years, so we have mostly our military presence, but not so much our oil business.' (I see this as, 'if you want our help, you all better figure out what YOU'RE going to do.') More about how great things are here.
Now he's going after the 'squad.'

He's swinging between Democrats and Iran.
Just said, ' Iran is going to work out very well for us. They're on the ropes. Not worried.'
More, 'Hate our country.'
'Rand Paul wants to be involved with Iran, he asked. He's a friend of mine, but I have 53 friends in the Senate.' So if Paul is made an unofficial ambassador to Iran, I'd look at it as 'Iran will get settled, in our favor, which may be different than our allies.'

Looks to me, unlike yesterday, he's not upset about Iran today.

It's 2 tankers they took today. This seems to be a 'good sign' from the administration's perspective. I'm waiting to get more to understand their thinking.

US - UK - that would be more than enough for me! Send 'em in, only gonna get worse, IMO.
Break out the goodies and put them back 50 years and maybe using sailships.
I would seriously end this before it grows, IMO. And they will take more if they can, this is Iran after all.
Protect our interests first, and then I would just try to remain on the nuke installations and/or oil fields and away from citizens. I would have zero problem ending their installations and taking out a lot of their oil. Unfortunately, it's all they know, violence. So give it, but even better, take away their ability. These are horrid people and we know their history, what and who they support and it's time for "death to America" likely for them. I won't say nuke the entire place like I used to say, but they can easily take them back many years and show them "sanctions" in a way they will understand. But now, UK folks on these ships, they will use them as bartering tools. What a damn shame.

Time to go to work, gentlemen. Come back quickly and safely! If it really happens, Godspeed to all involved.

President Trump seemed to be a bit off to me yesterday, distracted a bit.
Today? Doesn't seem very concerned, yes he condemned Iran, but seemed more angered at the squad.
Now it may be that he's already set things in motion or he's decided it really isn't 'our' problem. If others want us to act, they need to do so first. It may be a misdirect, but that's how it struck me while I was watching.

I think it's the UK who has things in their possession, but as an ally, my choice would be to side by side with them without hesitation. I think the crappy deal that we're out of, and they making more demands about, is a piece of what they want. So they're doing what they can to disrupt the world in the Hormuz... but they got an ally of ours at the same time, and I think they know we would support them, hence why they did so, IMO.
If the UK asks, we do what they want to help their ships and citizens. I would even call and offer my help, but I don't think they would take my call. But definitely take the lead with our forces over there and join them without hesitation. That's JUST my opinion, now saying a better opinion or what they should do, just my little opinion on it. Now, if the UK says get the hell away, our shit is on the line, then we listen just as quickly. But I think the 2 together would be more than sufficient, but I also know folks like larger coalitions than two.
But they have ships over there too, bring them all together in the meantime, and monitor until any decision. They are obviously pushing for this. If me, I give them what they want via the air, his those things, hit communications too maybe, and of course whatever port or where the ships are located. No shock and awe crap - just towards facilities is enough shock and awe to set things back.
