#1 Might turn out to be a good thing. More jobs for retired personnel and contractors if specialized security is needed. Bad news for those somali monkeys.

#2 ...Just make it clear that if they're going after civilian shipping going about its lawful business, then they AIN'T Revolutionary Guard, they AIN'T 'state actors' - they're pirates and will be treated as such.

Bullies tend to get very careful very quick when it's clear that they only stand a 50/50 chance of coming home alive.

#3 Iran will just claim that the tanker "violated their territorial waters", and capture them. That's what they did when a US Navy boat wandered to close to their territorial limit.
