Finally, we get some movement from the UN with a weaker than required statement about the Cornwall incident and Iran. Talk about taking your time! Not that I think Iran will take any notice of it. Iran seems to be intent on milking the situation for all its worth.
Still think it’s strange that we ended up in this situation whichever side of the border line Cornwall was on. At the end of the day 5,300 tonnes of well-armed heavy metal is more than a match for half a dozen small patrol boats.
It’s the duty of any Captain to protect his crew, I hope he was on duty on the ships Bridge and not some fresh out of training ‘lad’ that panicked and put us in this mess. On the other hand, if the Captain was on the bridge, then the rules of engagement need to be looked at, either way, the Captain has some explaining to do!
