Arresting and sentencing to death of "CIA spies" - Iranian citizens!
You can't help but feel sorry for the UK. They're trying desperately to please the US at whose advise they captured the Iranian ship. Now Iran has done what they do best: hitting back! The UK can't release the ship without antagonising Trump yet they also have no muscle to wrestle Iran.
Things are quickly getting ugly for all but this is going to be Boris or Hunt's real test in the coming days. ..
At least this looks like a serious take on the issue, that is worth engaging.
Of course the situation is problematic for UK, - more on diplomatic and PR outlook.
But things are critical for Iran.
The matter of Trump walking out on the nuclear deal is quite a different dimension. I am on recording calling Trump out on that.
Right now I am making an observation on how Tehran is doing business, and I see desperation.
One can't tell for sure how things will pan out going forward, but to fantasise that Russia would fight US or EU countries for Iran is laughable.
UK & EU have been sympathetic to Iran on the nuclear deal matter, but Iran is working very hard to turn the allies on that front into enemies.
Just as absolute power corrupts leaders, so does absolute fanaticism blind the people from logic
