Don't worry......Chris is on top of it.....
Apparently, he is going to roll back the years and send a Brexiteer-manned gunboat up the Persian Gulf.
Dominic Raab is going to command it (since he knows so much about ports - just remember his detailed knowledge of Dover and Calais).
Chris is a bit short of further Brexiteer volunteers so far, Jacob Rees-Mogg has a note from his nanny, but Mark Francois seems to be up for it.
One fly in the ointment, however, is that we don't have any spare gunboats (he'd send HMS Queen Elizabeth, but it's sprung a leak and has a worrying dearth of planes) so he's going to have to tender for one. Having learnt his lesson, he's going to openly tender, rather than selecting a supplier, despite this genuinely being an "unforeseen event", so, by the end of November we should see Raab and Francois set sail on the Saucy Sue from Walsall, complete with a starting pistol (one between the two).
That should put the fear of god up those Iranians!!
(Alternatively, we could call for EU support and the help of a European Army........Oh, Wait!)
