[QUOTE=Krepps;26845410]Considering the circumstances in which the agreements were entered, it was nothing less than justice.[/QUOTE]
The D'Arcy Concession? It was a fair and open deal and the Shah agreed in full.
[QUOTE=marlkarxv2;26831678]Oh ho ho ho, you're so cool! Pretending Iran has nothing to offer is just hilarious![/QUOTE]
The UK has no need for Iran, it doesn't supply them with any materials and it certainly isn't an ally in the Middle-East.
However, it would have an important influence over the oil-supplies in the Middle East.
[QUOTE=bravehat;26848124]Question.
What DO they have to offer?
May I draw your attention to their most cutting edge military hard ware?

A flying stealth boat, thee most redundant piece of hardware imaginable.[/QUOTE]
Am I seeing the first leaked images from a live-action Captain Scarlet film?

Yeah it does have heavy influence over the oil supply thanks to the Tigris straight I think (fuck knows my geography of specific locations is iffy at best)
But really, how well do you think it'll go if they stop all the oil moving through it? The entire western world will collectively shit bricks of pure rage and pound Iran into ash over it.

But they will look disgusting doing it, and lose support of their people if they do something outrageous.
[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;26831646]I can't image why Iran is upset with UK in the first place. Maybe it had to do with the US and UK overthrowing their democratic government in 1953. No, it couldn't possibly be that.[/QUOTE]
this is a news forum not an ancient history lesson

Something outrageous? Having most of your oil supply held ransom, then reclaiming it is an entirely reasonable course of action.

he's apparently a butthurt angsty teen who hates the US, so the first thing he tries to do is bring the US into a topic that is about 2 countries: Iran and the UK
