UK Military Chiefs concerned over threat to Gas supplies

In a big game of diplomatic bluff, after we threatened to block Iranian oil exports, Iran has countered by threatening to block the Straight of Hormuz, which unfortunately for the UK, is where 84% of our liquefied natural gas passes through.

This would be a body blow to business, as well as domestic users.

Be interesting to see how this develops

We could have sent a Naval task force, but we mothballed the carriers and scrapped the planes. Maybe have to send some stern words instead

I am sure Qatar would find a way to make sure it's gas got delivered!

Well it wouldn't take too long for it to have an effect on us should the Iranians decide to carry out the blockade, I think I read somewhere that the UK stores enough gas to last for a period of no more than 2 weeks. Thankfully it won't effect us as we cook with a halogen hob and have solar panels.

Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the The A Team."

Funny how successive governments are cutting the armed forces while Britain gets more involved in small wars. The armed forces are a big overhead until something like this reminds you why you need them.

To be honest, nothings really changed since the Napoleonic wars. We win a war, everyone cheers, then all the sailing ships got laid up, crews dispersed and left to look for work.

Another ruck, get the boats out again, find a crew, find some cash from somewhere to pay for it all.

Pretty much follow the same theme through to the present day, although it has given our military it's famous gallows humour and an ability to improvise and make do with a lack of equipment that brings other Armed Forces to a grinding halt. Doesn't make it right, just the way it is

I can't remember a year when the UK wasn't in a conflict somewhere in the world, fortunately for me when I was in the sappers I was pretty much useless at playing soldiers so never got sent anywhere apart from the guardhouse. My military career kind of mirrored my fathers national service record, spending much of our time locked up

I think currently Iran hold strong position on this issue as they are the providers for this natural resource and any thing which threaten their interest will have serious convenience on other countries. As Iran have strong routes with Japan on Oil products and similarly in near future with Indian...
