Because of the sanctions, now we sell through land to Turkey, Pakistan and even sometimes Iraq and Russia. So Iran can put the insurance premium in its pocket.Iran also pays insurance , i fail to see the logic.
That is the wrong side of the straight. All vessels shown are in Emirates territorial waters and retreat towards Emirate.

On the other hand, increase in oil price beyond a certain level will put pressure on US as everyone will blame them for increase in prices.
The insurance premium that Iran is supposed to cover for China is coming from Iran itself. So Iran's threat is not going to increase the premium for the insurance that Iran provides itself.

Kindly read this news below and match the picture of BBC news article to the picture provided by Aurora Intel.it is clear that Iran tried to seize this tanker,thanks to British warship for saving the tanker.

Jeremy Hunt pledges to reverse cuts to Navy amid Iran row
Jeremy Hunt has promised to reverse cuts to the size of the Royal Navy if he becomes prime minister.
Writing in the Telegraph, Mr Hunt said events in the Gulf showed the navy needed more warships.
Yes. Otherwise, what is the point? Just harassment?You think Iran would start an engagement in that way? You expected a firefight by those 3 speedboats?
How about in the cockpit of one? I will introduce myself: Am USAF veteran. F-111 Cold War, then F-16 Desert Storm.You sound confused, too much time spent on f-16.net ?

The victim -- or intended victim -- cannot afford to take a chance that all Iran can do is harass. We have to be prudent and assume the worst.Apart from piloting an aircraft, here is a challenge for you:
- You threat to retaliate a boarding of your tanker
- You know that the opponents escorts his tanker by a frigate/destroyer
- You send 3 speedboats, likely only armed with a 12,7mm HMG
Is your conclusion that they wanted to start a engagement or board it?
You didn't get my point. The three moving objects on Aurora Intel come North side and go towards south which is where Emirate's shores is. If they were Iranian boats and were retreating, they they would go back towards Iran which is on the north side.
I had red this news:
A British Ministry of Defense source told CNN that it "appeared that the Iranian vessels were trying to divert the Heritage from international to Iranian waters" before the British Navy ship HMS Montrose "got between them and issued a verbal warning to withdraw."
"Appeared" to me means British Frigate overreacted. When you want to divert a ship you board it and that can be done with a navy helicopter as well.
Bahrain, UAE are also considered disputed areas.Abu musa is a disputed island.this island name written clearly on BBC article and also Aurora Intel data provide details.it is true that Irani boats moved towards emirati coast.they were their even yesterday.
