Wie du mir, so ich dir. The Brits seized an Iranian tanker at Gribraltar recently. Alkso, they want to demonstrate to the US how vulnerable tankers are - and how capable their forces.
Air drones were my first guess, too, but if the Iranians adapt their attacking technique for boarding tankers, plan their timing better and get aboard, drones in the air would not change the fact that then the tanker is under Iranian control as long as they do not meet armed superior resistence - aboard. And then the hostage negotiation game begins.
