BREAKING: Iran seizes several oil tankers near Persian Gulf

The Islamic Republic of Iran, which is actually a theocratic dictatorship and the world's largest sponsor of terrorism, has captured a Liberian-flagged and a British-flagged oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday.

According to the Democrat's CNN, "Iran has also seized a second tanker, the Liberian-flagged MV Mesdar, according to a US official. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced earlier that its navy has captured a British-flagged tanker ‘Stena Impero’ in the Strait of Hormuz."

The order of seizure between the two tankers is as yet unknown.

President Trump responded to the developments on the White House lawn before departing the White House.

"So, we're going to be speaking with the U.K.," POTUS said. "And this only goes to show what I am saying about Iran. Trouble. Nothing but trouble. And remember this, the ridiculous agreement made by President Obama expires in a very short period of time, it was a short term agreement."

Trouble. Obama. Agreement. He hit all the main political points.

The owners of the Stena Impero confirmed the seizure, saying in a statement that the ship "was approached by unidentified small crafts and a helicopter during transit of the Strait of Hormuz while the vessel was in international waters."

"We are presently unable to contact the vessel which is now heading north towards Iran," the vessel owners added.

Fox News reporter Lucas Tomlinson reported: "British oil tanker seized by Iran today comes two weeks after British Royal Marines commandeered tanker off Gibraltar authorities said carried oil bound for Syria in violation of EU sanctions. Last week, British warship blocked 3 Iranian vessels from seizing UK-flagged tanker."

It's beginning to look a lot like the beginning.

Stay tuned as this is a breaking story.
