Because the UK dosn't want to be like the US, they want to get their info on whats happening in Tehran from the SIS and not CNN! :O:

Well if SAS ... take care of this, it becomes another sound in the barrel, they are not directly stationed there, only "some" key people.

I doubt even the SAS would be asked to get involved in what would more than likely be a suicide mission in the middle of Tehran.

That may be so ... but there are roads that go through Iran's intelligence, if they wish, but since this is a result of previous diplomatic transactions between countries, it serves the United Kingdom to strangle other avenues for Iran.

Ironically on this same day 68 years ago Tehran was the meeting place for three very important people:

On Nov. 28, 1943, Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin met in Tehran, Iran, to discuss Allied strategy during World War II as well as post-war matters.

The Tehran Conference, codenamed Eureka, was the first time that “Big Three” Allied leaders, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet leader Josef Stalin, met together.

The central issue of the conference was the military strategy of the Allied forces against Nazi Germany.

As many people have, just ammo ... long before this event, part of an ambassador standard equipment for self defense.

Doesn't this seem a bit odd to you? That this would happen so close to each other that is?

An important Iranian nuclear facility involved in processing uranium is located near Isfahan city, although Iranian media reports of the incident did not refer to it.
International Atomic Energy Agency spokeswoman Gill Tudor said the U.N. watchdog was aware of the media reports but had no further information.

Well, it's got oil I guess (unlike N Korea)... so there's an incentive.

Much can be about oil, but far from everything .... there are important strategic positions and other valuable minerals.

In Iran's case it's not about oil.

Agreed...on occasion when one party is anti everything you try to aspire to, you can occasionally be poked in the eye once too often.

Iran needs to drop the stick or suffer/experience the potential consequences of their actions.

Don't let your backside write cheques your mouth cannot cash.

Iran, will benefit from wider implications of this case and in general more than before .... and this is hardly any benefits on their behalf.

Whatever that means :hmmm:

It means that this is just the beginning of sanctions and harsh measures against the country as a whole.
