Iran has seized a British oil tanker.
The move by Iran follows the seizure of an Iranian tanker earlier this month by the British Royal Marines on suspicion it was breaking European sanctions and taking oil to Syria. Iran has called for the release of that ship, and earlier Friday, a British court in Gibraltar extended the detention of the Iranian oil tanker.
The move comes a day after President Donald Trump told reporters that the USS Boxer downed a drone belonging to Iran. Iran responded by saying it did not own the drone, and the U.S. may have shot down one of its own.

From CNBC:
I'm sure we all sleep soundly knowing the geniuses in the White House have the situation under control.
As long as they've hidden the red button from Bolton, you can.
I assume the Joint Chiefs disconnected the button when Reagan went senile and just never bothered to reconnect it.

The good news is we might have Russia on our side this time. There were apparently Russians on the ship.
Just saw a campaign-style bumper sticker today that read “Any Functioning Adult 2020” so maybe there is hope for Florida.Not so much thinking of MN. I mean if MN is in play we're all f-cked. I was thinking of formerly sensible and sane places that have slipped into the darkness recently: Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan.
I'm very hopeful that Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New Mexico all come back, and we land Georgia as well. I understand we're fighting not just
stupidity and racism but also voter suppression and, in states with GOP state houses and governors, systemic election fraud.
Going to be very interesting to see how Minnesota plays out.
So here's an ignorant Coastie question.
My anecdotal experience with Flyovers is they do not like a ruckus. It is possible that the Great Spirit of solid Midwestern common sense will rouse itself, regard Dump's "every day a new tweet tantrum" insanity and general lack of decorum and, regardless of partisanship, say "Enough. I want to go back to sleep" and hit the purge button?

Is there any of that "don't make a donkey of yourself, boy" stoicism left on the prairie?
Cool your man ****, he's going to lose it by 5 points or more.
