The British Captain WAS DEFINITELY smart BUT then again HE didn't instigate the aggression THAT was instigated at the sole discretion of Tehran. The Iranians need to be aware that Britain is more than capable of initiating her own 'Operation Praying Mantis' action against Iran and her assets with devastating effect.

A destroyer like this can shoot down aircraft, the ships, and any missiles they fire. They said man the guns because that's all they'd probably need for those little boats. It's out there alone because it probably wouldn't need much help, they should understand this before bothering it.
@@Amen-Magi I said de facto. As in they were basically a British colony. Britain installed a puppet leader in Iran and completely controlled Iran's oil. So no, on paper not a colony, but the UK treated them like one

Perhaps you should consider it was from the skill of the captain and crew of the Royal Navy HMS Duncan that nothing did happen of literally what no one wants of open hostilities.

Exactly why are their boats near Iranian territory? That's a patrol boat that's not designed to go far away from the shore. Typical British propaganda pretending to be victim when it's actually aggressive in presence and movement.😣😣😣😣
not a thing mate i just thought it odd, for the Royal Navy, rn is ok by me any day i am not a sailor so i really do not understand naval procedures,!!😃@@reecegraves3738
Don't be so proud of those flares! the real power of Iranian speed boat is the pin point guided missiles ready to launch from their land! Do not forget to check the new hypersonic missile they just unveiled.
the British officers are too young it feel so sad to think what war will destroy. about the iran boat, we will never start the war. she was just defending our base i am sure.
And that attitude is exactly what convinced iran (and many other countries) to improve their military capabilities and decouple from as many dependences as realistically possible while forming alternative alliances. In a world where might makes right, everyone will have to become mighty enough to defend themselves.
After the Iranian Super Battleship turned five degrees to starboard in alarm and dismay at the horrid flare attack , I thought I heard the British Captain murmer to himself , Toodlepip old bean !
It isn't an Iranian war ship in English channel, rather British @ Iranian door step . Brits do exactly the same thing to Russian ships . Why this is even posted?
As an American it's clear to see that the Iranians use the same "let's play chicken" tactics against the Royal Navy as they do against the American Navy. In the end the outcome is always the same, they know better than to mess with either Navy, and the Iranians always end up being the chickens!😊
You don't forget that you see a boat but there are many others watching your every moves! One wrong doing making huge reaction from Iranian counter part! Keep in your mind just some years ago English navy boat did something wrong and they became hostage by the Iranian IRG forces!
