Discomfort is present between Iran and the West because Tehran has failed to stop the alleged oil tanker that sails through the Strait of Hormuz, this place is between the Persian Gulf of Oman. And it is where most of the oil is mobilized, for world consumption.

It is said that a ship "The British Heritage" sails seen by Iranian military vessels, seeing it is required to withdraw from the waters, and to take the course towards the coast of Iran. Well, they gave a strong threat "take your way because we have you in the sights of the cannons." A Royal Navy frigate, "HMS Montrose". After the threat they withdraw, but no shots are fired.

In addition, CNN received recordings from the Pentagon showing that the ship was in the area. Without a doubt, this is a delicate fact for the British government, since it shows that there is oil harassment by the Iranian country. Al Yasira reported that it is true that their ship sailed through the place but that it is totally false that they had mishaps with the military ships. And that this was only said to generate tension and discord between the countries. Said by the Iranian foreign minister.

While it is true that there was recently a seizure of Iranian oil in Gibraltar at the hands of the United Kingdom, and because of this the Persian chief Mohamed Baqeri says that this "will not go unanswered".

The seizure of the crude oil was made within the framework of the international sanctions that go against the Syrian regime of Al Assad, since it prohibits the purchase of crude oil.

Recently, both the British and the Americans have proposed a strategy to isolate Iran. A week ago the same Pentagon alerted the British to Iranian ships sailing in the area. Violating imputed laws.

Because of this, US President Trump decides to increase naval forces in places where attacks have allegedly taken place. In addition, Tehran is warned that they will possibly break the nuclear pact with the great powers after the sanctions on its economy by the United States.
