Iran seize oil Tanker - what game is being played ? So the Iranian Republican Guard, the power behind the throne, go out and seize a British flagged oil tanker.  What is the purpose of this, it makes no sense at all. Britain is actually trying to work to get the deal re Nuclear weapons back on track so why would you seek to create a diplomatic incident with the UK?  Is this an attempt to influence the selection of the new PM in the UK?  Put pressure on? An attempt to escalate tensions?  Then why not go after a USA flagged tanker, or is it a case of the USA tankers being too well defended?  UK has admitted they lack the Naval resources.   When the North Korean situation was unfolding, Q told us that their were puppet masters in charge.  Is Iran in the same boat, seems to be the case.  The lack of reaction by POTUS to their actions suggest bad actors are trying to ramp up tensions and maybe start a war.  Who runs the Republican Guard.  It seems to have its fingers in all walks of Iranian life.   Any doubts?  Well CNN is all over it https://edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/iran-british-tanker-july-2019/index.html What other proof do you need?
