11:07 pm
not state without a deal that's a nightmare scenario for lots of people here i know extremely angry that that is a possibility with the prime minister being chosen by a tiny percentage also u.k. population in other words the conservative membership which is fairly happy with what it will call our hearts grex if they're worried about that direction even though they're saying that they believe that they have public opinion on their soil and the calls that the voice is a loud and strong that the you are they will continue to be around and strong inside the parliament and outside of it as we lead up to that date at the end of october. that's right these 324 position in the way that routinely without a deal. on the 30. because we're hearing from people like chancellor merkel of

a dangerous path. we will respond in a way that is considerate but robust and we are absolutely clear that if the situation is not resolved quickly there will be serious consequences so france and germany have condemned the seizure and the u.s. central command has intensified air patrols over the strait in response to iran's action it's also deploying troops to saudi arabia against what it says are credible threats well iran zope and an investigation into alleged violations by that british flag tanker and says it was involved in an accident with a fishing boat before being detained we have 2 correspondents following this story we have a door such a bar in the iranian capital will join her in just a moment but 1st over to any of barker and london with reactions coming from their need because as we're saying there's been a phone call between jeremy hunt and muhammad divides

a reef what do we know about what was said or home told zarif that he was extremely disappointed with the seizure of the vessel and zarif responded by saying that the vessel will remain detained and go through some sort of legal process just to remind you this is almost a mirror an exact mirror of what is happening to the seized iranian vessel the great swarm that was seized by british forces and police off the coast of japan at the beginning of july it has had its detainment period extended by 30 days to allow for some sort of legal process this is seems to be only adding fuel to the fire the strong belief within the foreign office here in the u.k. that this is simply a tit for tat seizure a direct retaliation for the seizure of the grace one earlier this month and when jeremy holland a warns iran against choosing what he calls
11:52 pm
a dangerous path what are we to read into his comments. well the biggest concerns that are currently being raised by the u.k. and its european allies france and germany who have also waded into this dispute by showing signs of solidarity with the u.k. are concerns about an escalation of tensions in the region particularly a military escalation and what we have interesting really learnt at least from a statement made by a spokesperson from the iranian revolutionary guard is that the vessel that was seized in the strait of hormuz may have actually be being flanked by a british warship when it was sea by the iranians meaning that they may well have been some close brush with iranian revolutionary guard and british military forces the last thing anybody wants given the ramping up of tensions is some sort of escalation militarily most certainly any loss of life that potentially
11:53 pm
could be seen as a critical red line by the british authorities of the moment all indications are particularly from jeremy hunt and other officials is that diplomacy should come 1st we haven't heard anything from britain's defense ministry about this incident they are refusing to comment on the situation so far but it does appear very clearly as if military tensions are most certainly reaching a worrying new levels at the moment ok marco with an update from london thank you let's not cross over to doris and her bari she's joining us from tehran so they arabians are quite clear in their version of the story dorsai and they say that that ship had failed to observe international maritime rules and regulations but what are they saying about the next steps.
11:54 pm
well there were even we've just heard from the spokesperson for the revolutionary guard and apparently it is being confirmed here that there was a british warship that was accompanying this vessel and the warship apparently did try to intervene and prevent the iranian revolutionary guards from seizing this vessel but they revolutionary guards were there at the request of the local officials in the strait of hormuz on friday because apparently this ship had a small accident with a fishing. vessel in the strait of hormuz and that's when they tried to make contact with this ship and there was no response now we've also just seen footage that's been released by the revolutionary guard that shows the moments when the commanders of the revolutionary guard dropped down from a helicopter onto this vessel and seized control of it they have released this footage recently which shows that the revolutionary guards did seize this ship and
11:55 pm
the iranians have said that this was their preventing this vessel because it had gone dark sessile had turned off its g.p.s. system the tracking system on this muscle was off and they weren't able to as well established any contact and that was a concern a security risk and that is why they seized it and they haven't specified exactly what happened to that 2nd military british vessel but there is confirmation that this vessel try to intervene but there revolutionary guards were not having it and they've said that this vessel is taken to be on their boss with $23.00 crew members on board where in the days ahead they will be interviewed to try and figure out what exactly happened the feeling here is that the iranians were carrying out their due diligence in the strait of hormuz which is their will to territory they say and it's up to the revolutionary guards to protect these waters and this is an example of how they managed to solve and dorsami was saying a moment ago that the view in london among some is the can be this is some sort of
11:56 pm
tit for tat a reprisal for the seizure of the grace one of the iranian press one that's still currently held in. jail get the sense in iran the this is exactly what's happened. no many officials have said that this is not iranians reciprocating this is not an access by the iranian revolutionary guard this is them and forcing international maritime law in the strait of hormuz the iranian foreign minister mohammad zarif has the commenting on this in his visit during his visit in venezuela today he said that this is very different from the act of piracy that was carried out by the british navy in the strait of gibraltar on july 4th when they seized the new reigning oil tanker that was carrying 2000000 barrels of iranian crude oil we also have to note that this ship that was seized by the iranians on friday was empty it
11:57 pm
was heading to saudi arabia where it was going to be loading up with fuel that when they seize that it is if there was nothing on board the radiance of said that it's very very different we have international maritime law to uphold in the strait of hormuz and that is exactly what we've done and there will be a legal process that is to follow before we can talk about releasing this british vessel ok i got a door so to bari with an update from to iran thank you so as we mentioned earlier the u.s. is the pulling troops to saudi arabia is the situation in the region bros tenser the pentagon believes the deployment will provide an additional deterrent some of its over $500.00 military personnel have already arrived at the prince sultan air base south of riyadh the u.s. withdrew its forces from saudi arabia back in 2003 markets is the former assistant secretary for political military affairs under president george w. bush is joining us live from.
