What is Iran trying to gain from testing the Western powers like this?
I really can't see how it could be of benefit to them.
I don't want a offensive war with Iran atm, but I'm totally behind any decision to declare hostilities against Iranian personnel, ships etc in Iraqi waters with out good reason.
I hate to quote from a leader as harsh, megalomanic and crazy as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but:
Let them hate us, as long as they fear us. Caligula
I think the Royal Navy should impose a little more fear to ensure respect from Iran.
