Video from Iran shows Revolutionary Guard warning away UK warship

[IsraelTimes] A new video released by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard shows a British warship escorting a UK-flagged tanker being warned by the paramilitary troops not to interfere in their seizure of the commercial vessel earlier this month.

The nearly two-minute video shows the British warship Foxtrot 236 during the escort and subsequent seizure of the Stena Impero by the Revolutionary Guard on July 19 in the Strait of Hormuz, the critical shipping waterway between Iran
Iran

...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate ~~Jews~~ ~~Zionists~~ Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and Oman.

In the video, an Iranian officer is heard telling the British warship: "You are ordered to not interfere in my operation."

A British officer is heard telling the Iranian officer that the British warship is in international waters with the merchant vessel conducting transit passage.

The Iranian officer responds: "Don’t put your life in danger."

Not able to watch the video.
So the Iranians took this Brit flagged and escorted vessel, anyway?

#2 Yupp. There's a lot of polite military verse-speak to-and-fro, and the Brit vessel looks on as the Steno Impero is boarded.

Apparently filmed on the day of the July 19 incident from above the British warship Foxtrot 236 that was in the vicinity of the U.K.-flagged Stena Impero, showing the British navy unable to prevent Iran's seizure of the ship in the critical waterway.

I wonder what would have happened if they hadn't capitulated, instead warned that they would fire in the direction of the IRGC boat if they didn't back off ?

#3 Dron66046, F236 (HMS Montrose) is equipped with a 4.5 inch gun with a range of 15 miles. They should have put a warning shot through the Iranian boat. Amidship.

#4 The video is by Iran,thus suspect. I suspect that this video was made after the fact to show "how powerful" the Iran cowards are. If this was real, the Brittish warship would have done something about it.

My take is that this is a a fake video made for propaganda purposes.

#6 fake video made for propaganda purposes

Could be, like the earlier bullshit about how they spoofed GPS and port signals to lure it away with superior Iranian hacking skills.
