Upping the ante on Iran Archived Message Posted by Mary on August 5, 2019, 8:58 pm Quite surreptitiously, an agreement has been made that we are joining the US in control of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Wallace, Johnson's Defence Minister slipped this out. No discussion, no debate and there is a parliamentary recess. It is reported that Iran has seized another ship. The whole thing is building like the steam inside a pressure cooker. https://news.sky.com/story/uk-joins-forces-with-us-to-protect-ships-in-strait-of-hormuz-11778201 Wallace was the platoon commander of an armoured division in the Scots Guards ('Cyprus, NI, Belize, and public duties in London.
