The Islamic Republic of Iran would never have dared to do this if they had any fear that Britain’s response would be in any true sense “robust.” But the mullahs know that the pusillanimous British government will mutter and fume and then…offer them a few billion pounds. The British government knows that if its response were actually “robust,” it would be accused of “Islamophobia.” And that’s the charge it fears above all things.
“UK vows ‘robust’ action if Iran doesn’t release British-flagged oil tanker,” by Joshua Berlinger and Eliza Mackintosh, CNN, July 20, 2019:
(CNN)Britain reiterated warnings Saturday that it would take “robust” action if Iran did not release a UK-flagged oil tanker it seized in the Strait of Hormuz, the latest confrontation in a tense standoff unfolding in the important shipping route.
The vessel captured by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Friday is now at the center of a widening crisis between Iran and Western powers, as Tehran fights to free itself from the crippling effects of US economic sanctions and reset nuclear talks.
But there could be serious consequences for the Islamic Republic’s aggression toward the UK — one of three European powers that have sought to save the 2015 Iran nuclear deal even after the United States dropped out.
British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the incident showed “worrying signs Iran may be choosing a dangerous path of illegal and destabilizing behavior,” adding that the UK’s response would be “considered, but robust.”
The Foreign Office summoned the Iranian chargé d’affaires on Saturday afternoon. Meanwhile, the government was set to convene a second emergency meeting of national security officials to discuss its response, a Downing Street spokeswoman told CNN.
The UK has warned ships connected to the country’s shipping industry to “stay out of the area” in the interim.
Iranian media reported Saturday that the ship, the Stena Impero, was captured following an accident with a fishing boat and was being held for “violating international regulations.” A second British-owned ship, the Liberian-flagged MV Mesdar, was briefly held by Iran but then released….

Islamic terrorist states are going to islamicaly terrorize infidels…

The Brits are tasting their own medicine! They hijacked an Iranian tanker off Gibraltar coast a few weeks ago and now the are complain about their ships by hijacked by the very nation they have just victimized! It reminds me Canada kidnapping a top Chinese executive and then whine when its citizens get rounded up in China! What is wrong with the Western leaders? Why are they acting like small kids/school yard bullies?
Angemon says
Lol! Nearly half of the comments so far are yours, as usual early on on any article depicting Iran in a less than favourable light – you barge in to carry water for, and defend, the Iranian regime, a regime that persecutes and murders Christians and has vowed to wipe Israel, the only safe haven for Christians in the entire ME, out of the map.
“What is wrong with the Western leaders? Why are they acting like small kids/school yard bullies?”
Says you on an article about unprovoked Iranian aggression. We know why your precious little jihadi terrorists are acting like small kids/school yard bullies – because they are exactly that.

Christianblood says
Angemon
No, it only has to do with the fact that Iran won’t be a US puppet and wish to be an independent country and won’t allow US steal its oil and independence! Make your own independent research.
Angemon says
“Angemon

Nah, I’m sure it has everything to do with the unprovoked acts of violence against US and its allies, especially Israel. By, do your Iranian buddies hate Israel…
“and wish to be an independent country and won’t allow US steal its oil and independence!”
Huh, between domestic production and other sellers the US have more than enough oil to cover their needs.
“Make your own independent research.”
I have, hence why I say it must have something to do with all those decades of shouting “death to America!”, the storming of the embassy and capture of hostages, the state funding of terror groups worldwide which are, later on, used as the government’s proxies, etc… That you refuse to acknowledge it doesn’t make it any less true. After all, you can ignore reality but you can’t ignore the consequences of ignoring reality…
Westman says
It’s rather simple CB. The leadership of Iran make real military threats when they don’t get their way, have loose cannons in the military, support terrorist groups, lie with impunity, sell explosives than killed Americans, declare openly that its goal is the annihilation of Israel, is pursuing nuclear weapons, and is threatening to throttle oil shipping.
Why don’t you ask, “Why does Iran have no allies that would defend it? Why does it threaten even the few EU nations that are sympathetic with extortion?”
The citizens of Iran do not deserve what is coming any more than did the German people under Hitler. By not removing its evil leadership, the Iranian citizens, like the Germans, will have it removed by outside forces.
Evil is similar to stupidity – difficult to recognize if the people about one’s self are equally stupid.
This is the legacy of Islam; the reduction of life to rote.
gravenimage says
Why does christianblood pretend that there are no critical stories here at Jihad Watch about Pakistan, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Turkey, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia? This is so easily disproven.
Then, his implication that if the Mullahs did not threaten Jews and murder woman and gays that they would be a “puppet” of the United States is just grotesque.
Muslims act like this not because the civilized West hates it, but because it is orthodox Islam.
Christianblood says
Westman
You sound like John Bolton! Every word you say is US propaganda and lies against Iran! Why can’t you ignore the US propaganda and seek the truth for yourself?

“ Every word you say is US propaganda and lies against Iran! ”
I especially like the part where he said “this”. And how about “rather”? Without, of course, forgetting the classic “are” – those words are top-tier propaganda, no doubt!!! We can see how hard the US worked on them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dogman1947 says
Europe will be rescued by Israel. Israel can demolish key Iranian locations as Great Britain and Europe look the other way. Israel has been forced to act preemptively in the pasr and this may be another short duration war, but one that forces Europe to side with te US and Israel in actions to destroy Irans hopes to get nuclear weapons.
Iran is pushing the envelope for a reason. They believe their threats will be met with passivity since the US backed out of the Obama administration deal. Europe will not fire the first shot. It won’t have to.
Christianblood says
The Iranians have no doubt (with the help of Russian & Chinese leading technology) zeroed in on every single GPS American Military Installation in Iraq & Afghanistan. The
US bases will disappear along with carriers if Iran is looking down the barrel of Uncle Sam’s gun…make no mistake about that…it’s called a counter punch.
Mobuyus says
You’re a fool as well as an iranian stooge. The Pentagon has many plans for the complete destruction of this odious iranian regime.Even one attack on American assets would be the end of the islamic regime. Oh and you too. I can’t wait.
Christianblood says
Mobuyus
Not surprised of you said but the Pentagon should consider the implications it will have if they attack Iran as this will surely have far-reaching global ramifications and huge unintended consequences! Do you think Russia and China will fold their hands and watch an attack on Iran???
Please stop parroting US ‘deep state” propaganda and understand that Iran is an independent state, never attacked anyone and just don’t want to be a puppet for the US liberal imperialist empire and she is absolutely right in that!
Angemon says
“ Do you think Russia and China will fold their hands and watch an attack on Iran???”
I think you Russians have the Iranian cock so far up your ass that you’ll have no choice but to defend your little Christian-persecuting buddies.
“ran is an independent state, never attacked anyone”
Next you’ll be telling us they don’t sponsor terrorism…
Demsci says
China may throw Iran under the bus. To get a more favorable trade deal with America, now that Chinese economy is in trouble and the American economy is strong. Moreover, China is definitely wishing to balance support for Iran with cooperating with Saudi Arabia, which will pressure China not to support Iran too much. And Saudi Arabia is oil wise very important for China. As well as for it’s “belt and road” plans.
Russia’s foreign policy also wavers between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Russia and SA want to hold the price of oil as high as possible and they cooperate on output-cuts. We hope SA can pressure Russia not to help Iran too much. Russia prophits from diminished Iranian oil export and wants Syria for itself it seems and it knows Iran spooks necessary investors in it.
I suspect CB did not expect that the American sanctions policy could hit Iran so hard as is admitted by Iran, and that he did not expect that help from China and Russia was not effective in preventing this. As Anti-American propagandists many times predicted that Iran would be effectively protected against “Trumpian” sanctions policy by China and Russia.

Yes. Worldwide, they’re the second largest ebook-selling company right after Amazon, even surpassing it in some markets. Unlike Amazon, they’re not stuck to a single central ebook store, they have ties with several other ebook sellers in several countries and their readers support the epub format (Amazon supports their own azw and mobi), meaning that any ebook you buy in any store that’s on the epub format can be accessed on Kobo devices.
Amazon’s ecosystem works great and has more books but Kobo offers more variety when it comes to books on a language other than English. Can’t find Tommy robinson’s quran in Kobo’s store.

I do believe ships on the High Seas in International Waters have an inalienable right to defend themselves. Perhaps it’s high time these tankers had a squad or two of “Defenders” (read that what you will), and when they are circled by “Pirate” boats, TAKE THEM OUT. I doubt if Iran would want to “prove” they were NOT pirates. Playing “nice” with these guys only makes them madder.

In “Unholy Alliance”, Jay Sekulow highlights and defines the looming threat of radical Islam. A movement born in Iran during the Islamic Revolution in 1979, radical Islam has at its heart the goal of complete world domination. As this movement has grown, Iran has entered into alliances with Syria and Russia, leading to a deadly game of geopolitical threats and violence.
Not only will you better understand jihadist terror, but you will also learn about Sharia law—a legal code that removes all personal liberty and is starkly incompatible with the US Constitution. All Muslims are required to follow Sharia—as are all who live in lands controlled by Islam. It is the goal of radical Islam to see Sharia instituted across the globe.
If we are to combat radical Islam’s agenda of domination, we must arm ourselves with knowledge. With carefully researched history, legal-case studies, and in-depth interviews, “Unholy Alliance” lays out the ideology and strategy of radical Islam, as well as the path we must take to defeat it.

Ah, I see you have no problem when your precious little jihadi buddies in Iran breaking agreements to pursuit a nuclear weapon to destroy Israel with, but the moment the Saudis go “those Iranians might actually get a nuke, maybe we should get some sort of protection?” your self-righteousness flares up. The Saudis were uninterested in nukes until your Christian-murdering Iran forced their hand – there’s no going around that, no matter how much you try…
“and tolerates its savagery, religious discrimination and worldwide financing of global jihadist ideology!”
This describes exactly your relationship with Iran – you have never met a Christian martyr in Iran you haven’t called “US propaganda”.

Demsci says
CB, OK, we can study the numbers that GlobalResearch is giving in this article. There is a debate to be had about who to blame and what would the alternatives have been. And freedom of speech must be upheld about these potentially painful statistics. And certainly there nowadays is a strong adversity among a majority of the US population AGAINST war, against war in Iran.
Why, the other day Trump supporter Tucker Carlson “found deeply felt and expressed agreement” with democratic pres. Candidate Tulsi Gabbard!
But we can defend America with many good arguments in this “war-debate”
And that begins with holding all nations, all leaders equally accountable. In all these wars it can be easily argued that a democratic America did not just attack on a whim but after much provocation and exhaustive warnings and attempts of diplomatic solutions, after exhaustive parliamentary debate. So when one accuses America one accuses the majority of its people. And that is the exception in war-history.
America may well often war more for defensive and free trade reasons than for “conquest, pure commercial reasons.
America’s opponents often were much worse abusers of human rights, totalitarian leaders without parliamentary control. In fact America almost never fought a democratic opponent!!!
America may well have both stopped and discouraged many other wars. Because human nature in time of civilization (approx 5000 years) has been about much conquest and exploitation when the only rule was the “rule of the jungle”
Statistics show that wars among nations have sharply diminished during America’s hegemony. In other words; you show a world in which America fights but with just the rule of the jungle the situation with wars would probably have been far worse. I go with THESE statistics.
The top dog states in 5000 year history were never this moral and restrained as America has been. Or better said, as the DEMOCRATIC top dog has been.
My question is: Is the Top dog, America, a predatory hunter (on aggregate) aggressive to innocent nations for greed (like so many top dog nations before) or was THIS top dog provoked by it’s opponents who foolishly pulled its tail? I say mostly the second.
And people who only blame America for the wars it fought, I consider “discriminators, racists sometimes, by lesser expectation” meaning they have much higher standards and expectations for America than for its opponents. They in effect treat Americans as humans who can change, and their opponents as “apes” which you cannot expect to change.
Lastly I wish to point out that America has had peace and given support and prosperity through free trade to many more nations than it warred with. And will go on to an even better ratio of positive versus negative influence.

I have a question for the British Navy, which is where the hell was it when the tanker was boarded by mutineers? My next question is, when is Boris Johnson going to issue a declaration of war on the mullahs as they violated international law? There is no way in hell that the British would have permitted this act of aggression to go unpunished by Margaret Thatcher, Antony Eden and much less Winston Churchill. It is time that the British people demanded more of their government.

Iran in 2019 and in 1980s are two different Iran. Thinking Iran is like
Iraq in 1980s is the biggest fool in the world. Iran has the right to
retaliate without warning if enemies comes from afar to its doorstep,
waving their fist. If this war starts, Saudis UAE will be on fire as
well. Surely China Russia will obligingly back Iran with all military
weapons they need, thats how the world runs.

“Iran in 2019 and in 1980s are two different Iran.”
Nope – they were a jihadi, islamic terrorism sponsoring nation back then and they continue to be as such today…
“Iran has the right to

Retaliation without an attack? That’s not “retaliation”, that’s an unprovoked attack… It’s not surprising that you’re carrying water for the Christian-murdering Iranian regime, though…
“Surely China Russia will obligingly back Iran with all military
weapons they need, thats how the world runs.”
If war comes to happen, you’ll decry the US for supporting Saudi Arabia on the grounds the Saudis fund terrorism while defending the Russians supporting the terrorism-sponsoring Iranians. This is why you’re not taken seriously – you’re a shill for a jihadi terror group…

I am not pro-Islam, I pro justice and fairness! Iran never attacked anyone,
in fact Iran fights US, Israeli, Saudi and Nato-backed jihadists in Syria, Yemen, Iraq and in Lebanon and yet Iran is constantly demonized by US and Western media as an aggressor while Saudi Arabia, the perpetrators of 9/11 attacks and the ideological and financial source of global Islamic jihadism is lionized by the satanic West! The fair question to ask here is why? Why always Iran but not Pakistan, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Turkey, Bahrain or Saudi Arabia? Why?

“I am not pro-Islam,”
Yes, you are – just as long as it is shia islam…
“I pro justice and fairness!”
Is that why you routinely lie and cover the persecution of Christians in Iran?
“Iran never attacked anyone”
Let’s start with the atttack on the US embassy and them move to its terrorist proxies…
“in fact Iran fights US, Israeli, Saudi and Nato-backed jihadists in Syria, Yemen, Iraq and in Lebanon”
You used to also include Turkey in that “axis of evil” of yours but since they are now buying weapons from you, Russians, it’s no longer politically expedient for you to speak ill of them…
“and yet Iran is constantly demonized by US and Western media”
The guys who have been shouting, for decades, “Death to America” arre being “demonized”? “Demonized”? Funny way to spell “accurately described”…
“as an aggressor while Saudi Arabia, the perpetrators of 9/11 attacks”
Iran funded al-qaeda and provided assistance to its perpetrators. If a state had any in role in 9/11 it was the Iranian state, not the Saudi state.
“and the ideological and financial source of global Islamic jihadism”
Besides al-qaeda, Iran also funded ISIS and many other sunny terror groups.
“is lionized by the satanic West!”
Citation needed.
“The fair question to ask here is why? Why always Iran but not Pakistan, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Turkey”
Must have something to do with all those decades of shouting “death to America”. Oh, and you left “Turkey” in there. Careful – if your supervisor sees it it’s not going to end well for you… No,, the fair question here is “why do you defend shia islam witth the zeal of a new convert, and why do you call sunnis takfiris when it takes a muslim to call takfir?”
In any case, I’m going to go on a tangent here. Well, I was going to but someone else already wrote what I was going to, and far better than I could, so I’m just going to quote from here:
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/04/christian-refugees-let-down-by-pope-he-promised-to-take-them-to-italy-but-then-took-only-muslims-instead#comment-1422475
First point, a propaganda example: Masud, instructed by Mohammed not to reveal that he is a Muslim, and sent (back) into Yathrib/Medina to sow discord, mutual distrust and hatred between the enemies of Islam/Mohammed. Yathrib’s opponents? Christians, Jews and Pagans, all who saw through the masquerade of the Muslims, after they granted them refuge and safety from the Meccans, who had enough of them, and drove them out – understandably. Incidentally, the Meccans were not Pagans, only partially so, many were Christians, Jews and Zoroastrians. Just for your info.
How did Masud operate? Simple, to the Jews he said: all Christians and Pagans are evil, don’t trust them, they let the Muslims in Yathrib, causing the troubles. To The Christians, all Jews and Pagans are evil, they let the Muslims…. To the Pagans, all Jews and Christians are evil, they… Occasionally he also condemned the Muslims, when unavoidable. The result, discord, they were picked up one by one. Finalized with their massacre of the trench, and the enslavement of their women and children, by Mohammed.
Do you recognize Christianblood, Ivan K, etc.? No?
Let’s take ‘Christianblood’ (CB) who is the noisiest and busiest hate and division monger. And before commencing, consider that this is an anti jihad website, run by a Christian, Mr. Robert Spencer, who is a Catholic. Whilst this/his website is facilitated in the west, in the US to be specific. That is important to note, since according to the hatred spewed by CB, Ivan and others, we are not anti Islam, we are not Christians, Jews and Atheists (plus others), but to the contrary are friends of Islam and enemies of Christendom. Idiotic? Indeed, but we are not the idiots posting such nonsense, CB & Co. are, relentlessly.
Now to commence with the anti Christian propagandists and their tricks, assuming of course that you yourselves are not part of that Masudian clique.
How do they work? I construct an example, the pattern is, for practically invariable purposes, always the same. A practical example, fictional but also true, suppose a critical article about the central European civil war of the late 20th century, Balkans:
“…The Bosnian (Muslims) have established the first rape and torture camps in the Balkans. No reporting by ‘the west’. The Christian forces, Serbs, gain the upper hand, turn the tables and practice vengeance in kind. The western (US/EU) response: Bombing Serbia into submission, thus reinforcing the first Muslim state in Europe, Bosnia Herzegovina, and also establishing two more Muslim states, namely Kosovo and Albania. Kosovo as a particular humiliation to the Serbs, and for Christians in general. Result, ethnic cleansing of Christians in those two extra Muslim states and over 30,000 churches destroyed or converted into mosques…” The supposed article ends, what has been said within the supposed article is actually true.
Here is the response posting of Christianblood, Ivan, and the likes of them:
“…So true the article/headline. And it shows or proves that the west is evil, anti Christian, all of them, Catholics, Protestants, Jews, etc. Atheists are of course *not * mentioned. {Then the dribble continues:} *All* westerners, *all* the western people, etc. …” Should that not work, add ‘Auschwitz’ or ‘Nazis’, that ought to do the trick.
Have you noticed, in this fictional reply by CB, that there was not once any further reference to Islam or Muslims? Not once, they could be in another universe. Read his posts, you will find that he hardly ever condemns Muslim atrocities as such. Yes, sometimes he does, but only on very rare occasions, and given the majority of his posts, that is a mere fig-leaf-waving, to ‘prove’ that he is not a Muslim.
Read his posts, go back a few months, it’s always the same, identical pattern. It is possible though, that he is not a Muslim, but merely a paid up propagandist. See http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/02/putin-kremlin-inside-russian-troll-house However, he can of course be both, a paid up propagandist and a Muslim, no contradiction there. Ever heard of the two birds with one stone?
That many western people, irrespective of their spiritual or ideological affiliation, are unhappy and extremely critical of western leadership, is completely ignored by such hatemongers and deceivers. So, do I speak the truth about them? If not, then why the massive and increasing support for the anti Muslims, such as Trump/Cruz – western Atlantic; and AfD, FPÖ, England First, Pegida, etc. – eastern Atlantic; why, how come? And why do many other citizens, not yet supporting the previously mentioned organizations, are opposed to the Islam pandering of the powers, which have by stealth and guile usurped western leadership positions? So, I do indeed speak the truth about those Masudians, the likes of Christianblood and similar such anti Christians hatemongers. I state without reservation: Christianblood is *not* a Christian, but he loves to see Christians and non Muslims bleeding, rejoices in it, and uses it to sow discord, MASUD! And that holds also true for others like him.
How to recognize such propaganda crap? Simple, such pieces take a headline, a story, ignore all ins and outs of it, but ramble endlessly about how evil the affected target population is supposed to be, with more or less unfounded allegations. Read CB’s posts, go a few months back, the pattern is always, without exception, the same.
Yes, we westerners have been infiltrated by the adherents of the Frankfurt School, anarchists and communists with their ‘long march through the institutions’. Aided by petro-dollar corrupted, or at least influenced individuals, plus naïve dreamers. Is that supposed to make us, approx 500-800 million people in all, to be anti Christian, to be pro Muslim? According to such propaganda filth it does. Ask him why, if you can be bothered to reply to the posts of such vile, hate mongering… ‘persons’. Don’t take him up on the pretended context of his post, not worth it, but ask him why about what follows in his posts.
Are they trash or are they Christians, as they pretend to be? Let us ask someone who ought to know, Jesus Christ, first Christian and founder of Christianity, no particular church or denomination. He may know.
What did he say? He said that it is an unforgivable sin to class believers as unbelievers. So, where does that leave the likes of CB, who in an unending, hate crazed frenzy condemn all westerners as anti Christians; him and similar such riff-raff, where does it leave them? What does Jesus see in them? After all, they proclaim to be Christians. Thus, a valid question.

America arms and supports Sunni Islamic jihadists that are mass-murdering Christians in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and in the Balkans! America gives one Billion dollars to nuclear-armed Pakistan annually where Christians are routinely murdered in the streets, where Osama Bin-Laden was hiding for years, Where Khalid Sheik mohamed, the mastermind of 9/11 attacks was born and where Taliban and Al-Qaeda and many other anti-Indian jihadist groups have numerous basis! America is also in bed with the savage, head-chopping maniacal Saudi Arabia which is the ideological, the religious and the financial source of the global islamic jihad movements and its also where almost all of the 9/11 attackers were born and indoctrinated! Mind you, non-muslims are banned to enter many major cities in SaudiArabia like Mecca and Madina and if any non-muslim seen there they would be immediately beheaded and their bodies crucified! Don’t believe US and “deep state” propaganda against Iran because Iran actually fights Al-Qaeda and ISIS and prevented them from taking over Syria and Iraq whereas the US and its allies supported them and still support in Idlib Syria! As we speak, America is transferring nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia. Wake up to the reality!

Iran funded both groups. It also provided material help in planning 9/11. Without Iran and Russia there might not have been a 9/11… And, as I pointed above, it’s still sheltering senior al-qaeda members.

CB, 2 points; 1st. When Persia was the strongest nation on Earth, from approx. 530 to 330, it was many times more bent on conquest and violent war and human rights abuse than America now, after correction for numbers of humans and for technology. Likewise the Sassanid Persians nor at times the Islamic Persians were “such better angels than America, and sure enough they warred “all the time”.
2nd. I would like to point out that the ayatollahs have made it clear that their ideology is NOT about IRAN FIRST, it is about ISLAM first. And Iran does have a dictatorial supreme leader and IRGC in control and these ARE dictatorial. But it is Islamic first and foremost and not to be compared to monarchical, nationalistic Iran, before 1979.
And therefore the comparison between American and Iranian government is more like: how do Democratic Nations, it’s leaders AND parliaments, in complete freedom of speech, do in comparison with Islamic Dictatorial Nations/ leaders, without real parliamentary control and freedom of speech?

Sadly, the UK oozes weakness, including here with its pathetic, tepid response to Iranian aggression.
America under Obama oozed weakness too. Ditto presently with nothings like Macron and Merkel presiding over the destruction of their nation.
Common denominator here in the West? Old-fashion liberalism morphing into modern liberalism, call it leftism if you like, and which has infected not only the entire left-side of the political spectrum but many on the right-side too (e.g., the recently deceased McCain, the new Senator from Utah, Romney, the recently retired Ryan {thank God), and Bush 43).
And I see christianblood is up to no good yet one more time—trashing the West while adulating the repressive Iranian regime and, by implication, extolling a Russia which once again has demonstrated, as with the so-called Palestinians, that it never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity, this time under the liar, cheat and killer who is Putin.

I wonder if christianblood knows that there are NO BRITONS among the ship’s crew members but there are some Russian nationals. Ha! I think the British government should take all the time it needs to mull over the proper response and maybe check with the leader of each country with a citizen on board — including Putin. You think the Russians might offer some help or just tell the British to forget about their guys? Can’t you just see Putin offering to chip in on the Jizya payment to the Iranians to free the Russians?

Britain’s problem is that there will be a number of Shia muslim communities that will not be happy if Britain does anything militarily.
Will they have the capacity to cause problems, first just in protests, parades, demonstrations, and so will the authorities be able to handle them. What if it takes some time?
Will the problems ratchet up to a terror campaign? sniping, bombing, etc.
The real issue, will the authorities believe they can contain any problems that may arise in Britain?
If not then, then it is “a peace at any price”, “an appeasement peace”, that the costs will keep ratcheting up, for the next round.

Gamzu says
Iran uses proxies for its terrorism, as in this example:
ASPEN, Colo.—The U.S. made a serious mistake by not responding more assertively to an alleged Iranian plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to the United States in a bomb attack on a popular Washington restaurant, just-retired CENTCOM commander James Mattis said Saturday.
At an October 2011 press conference Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI Director Robert Mueller announced that Iran’s government had attempted to use a Mexican drug cartel to arrange the killing of the Saudi official, Adel Al-Jubeir, while dining at Cafe Milano in Georgetown. An Iranian-American living in Texas, Manssor Arbabsiar, and Iranian al-Quds force offifical Gholam Shakuri were charged with conspiring to carry out the bombing—which the U.S. officials said was headed off with the help of an undercover Drug Enforcement Agency informant.
Gamzu says
Another example, as if more were needed to refute CB:
A bus bombing that killed five Israelis and a driver in Bulgaria was most likely the work of Lebanon’s Hezbollah militants, Bulgarian officials say.
The attack, in the Black Sea resort of Burgas in July 2012, was carried out by a bomber who died at the scene.
A six-month probe uncovered “obvious links” to Lebanon and Hezbollah, prompting criticism from Israel’s prime minister and a top US official.
Israel has always blamed Hezbollah – and Iran – for the bombing.
Iran has steadfastly denied any involvement, while Hezbollah has made no comment.
