after iran seized a british flag tanker on friday iran says its troops boarded the stand and pair o. after it collided with a fishing boat is the latest in a series of incidents threatening shipping in the strait of hormuz which is the export route for the bulk of oil from the gulf region. the stana imperio seen here before it's captured by iranian naval forces is now a pawn in a game of high stakes. the seizure comes after new rainy and old tanker is being held in custody for a further 30 days in gibraltar on suspicion of heading for syria and breach of sanctions. british foreign secretary jeremy hunt said the tit for tots would not spiral out of control. we're not looking at military options we are looking at a diplomatic way to resolve the situation. but we are very clear that it must be resolved freedom of navigation in the gulf is absolutely essential if
11:03 am
that freedom of navigation is restricted iran is the biggest loser but navigating the waterway crucial for global oil supply has become a risky business just days ago iran sees the united arab emirates oil tanker in the strait of hormuz iran is also blamed by the us for attacks on 6 tankers in and around the strait tehran has resorted to disrupting shipping through the choke point in response to crippling u.s. sanctions. u.s. president donald trump wants to pressure tehran into more concessions over its nuclear program he says his strategy is working a rather showing their colors going to work out very nicely a rat is in big trouble right now their economy is crashing it's coming through a credit droid to bring soldiers back home because they can't pay a lot of bad things happening to them and it's very easy to straight out or it's
11:04 am
very easy for us to make it a lot worse but with one 5th of the world's oil exports routed through the strait of hormuz the standoff could also spell trouble for the global economy. atlanta but have by is a middle east analyst based in germany and he joins us now for more so it really does appear that iran is provoking the united states and also its allies is there a real danger that the u.s. will retaliate military it militarily and that we're going to see a full fledged war 1st of all both the united states and the united kingdom will be aware of iran responding to what is the u.s. pressure what is the deprivation of iranian tankers freedom of navigation through the seizure of the tanker into growth time so this is a response to all of that i don't see the nutria solution around the corner but
11:05 am
obviously you these incidents or the tit for tat secretary jeremy hunt was alluding to is certainly dangerous and we don't need to be efforts meet to stop this but by trying to to the diplomatic being. well we've been saying this is not the 1st time that iran has seized an oil tanker in the strait of hormuz what kind of an impact is this going to have on global oil supplies. and too ignorant of these of these links that what actually the impact movie immediately but obviously if you consider that freedom of navigation and this and such an important route is now disrupted due to the to the to the rising tension tensions this is certainly creating costs and costs for everyone and i think this is generally iran's message that if you put us as iran under pressure we will not allow others to get away with it and where we will create costs will eat in terms of. lack of
11:06 am
security in the strait of hormuz in that important road but also with regards to the global oil market so i think this is runs calculation here well it's now one of corus that iran has numerous proxies in the region just what else could the government in tehran do to increase pressure on the u.s. and allies do you see other players getting involved. i think here you have the whole range of ambiguous all of them do you a situation you have this is the fact that different groups aligned with the states or acting on their own can in fact operate by attacking u.s. military bases by attacking the united arab emirates saudi oil fields we've we've seen that before we we see the reach that iran can have to harm the interests of
11:07 am
the u.s. and its allies in the region and i have to say i think we're just at the beginning of it there's obviously much more that can be done but i think the incidents that we are seeing basically the increase of numbers of these incidents happening is the escalation that we can see i don't see a full fledged war coming up but again there needs to be a diplomatic efforts to try to to avoid that. all right. thank you very much effort sharing your insights with us richard. meanwhile u.s. president donald trump has said there's no doubt that a u.s. warship brought down in the raining drone on thursday even though iran denies that it is lost any of its unmanned aircraft trump says the u.s. says boxer patrolling the strait of hormuz brought down the drone because it had flown too close to the warship shot down or not shot down the
