    After tanker seizure: Britain weighs sending nuclear sub to Gulf

    In response to Iran's seizure of an oil tanker, Britain is reportedly promoting sanctions on Iran, including weighing sending a nuclear sub to the Persian Gulf, reports News 13.

    The British Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunter is weighing advancing additional sanctions on Tehran.

    Iran publicized a video of commandos rappelling from a helicopter to commandeer the British vessel; a British war ship an hour's distance from the incident was unable to arrive and provide assistance in time after receiving the distress call.
