To fall for the trap is to respond in kind and for Iran UNILATERALLY to seize a British ship in International waters, where upon they will be called Somali pirates.
To respond asymmetrically and use Iranian assets/allies in other countries would expose Iran at this specific juncture as a 'terrorist state'
In my 8 year study of law in the UK, after which my legal career went nowhere, thanks to the Rothschilds of London, I can categorically say that law generally and International law specifically is designed for the benefit of great powerful nations, and rich people.
Iran is a poor country filled with poor people.
The BEST RESPONSE WOULD BE TO EXPEL BRITISH DIPLOMATS OF WHATEVER CATEGORY, AND NUMBERS FROM THE BRITISH spy embassy in Tehran in light of what happened in the Gib al-tarek.
In addition to the provocative statements the British foreign office and media have been making about Iran, in addition to stationing Marines in Oman recently, and SAS personnel on Persian Gulf tankers.
ALL this British STATE activity APPEARS A BIT 'over enthusiastic' vis a vi other advanced nations like France, Germany and Italy.....though we understand that the TORY INCUMBENT GOVERNMENT is in deep doooo trouble domestically......and this may be a crude neanderthal method of ratcheting up base crude patriotism and Boris Johnson.

There is no need for Iranian tankers to go ALL the way around Africa to deliver oil to a Mediterranean country, it looks suspicious (which itself is not an international crime) and economically silly. If Iran wants to send oil to Syria it should do so via road tankers through Iraq;
or tankers via the Red Sea, Suez canal, Eastern Mediterranean and then into Syria
or via Russia, then into a Russian chartered tanker in the Black sea, through the Bosporus and Marmara. skirting the Mediterranean coast of Turkey and then into Syria.
In emergency situation Iran will not be able to use Africa or the Red sea. The PAKISTAN land route, TURKEY land route and Russian land route will be the only WAY Iranian goods and services move. We discussed this ten years ago dear mullahs VIA IRNA, and that the Iranian navy's main role would be as large shooting targets of American missiles.
The Iranian navy will not contribute significantly to Iran's defense strategically and any talk of making the navy a blue water navy that sails the Indian ocean, and even the Atlantic ocean, or the Mediterranean ocean is CIA wasted resource talk and ambition.
Iran is a LAND POWER-----always has been.
