Britain planning joint force to escort tankers through Strait of Hormuz after seizure of UK-flagged vessel

“We heard that they intend to send a European fleet to the Persian Gulf, which naturally carries a hostile message, is provocative and will increase tensions,” said government spokesman Ali Rabiei.
