1. What no more holidays in Tehran?
Haim ,   TA   (11.27.11)
Gee what a blow to the British nation - NOT ! Who gives a flying f**k
2. That will relegate UK to 4th rate country
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (11.27.11)
3. I bet that ex UK Ambassador to Teheran thanks God for this!
(11.27.11)
I bet he is crying with delight, hopping happily while preapring his luggage. Being an ambassador in a snakes pit is not a great pleasure, especially while you have tons of barbaric "revolutionary" guards spying on you, ready to rape your family at a moment's notice or violate your embassy like it happened with the former US embassy in Teheran. The rest of the Western Ambassadors are dying with envy and PRAYING that they be "punished" in the same fashion! LOL!
4. Typical Muslim arrogance mixed with hatred and stupidity
(11.27.11)
5. Ali! Ali! Ali! Ali Baba! What a hero! What a great man!
Israeli 2   (11.27.11)
6. New Britain, but not great.
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.27.11)
Iran has the second largest oil reserves in the world, and the third largest exporter of it. New Britain is just an echo of america's voice . So Who Needs Whom More?
7. Oh, I'm sure ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.27.11)
.... that the Brits are ... YAWN ... simply ... YAWN ... devastated.
8. To: No. 6
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.27.11)
There you go again, pulling "facts" out of your hindquarters. Iran's oil reserves are finite. The Soviet Union, the United States, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Brunei, Nigeria, Iraq, Venezuela and Libya are the ones with endless oil reserves. I trust I have just answered your question about who needs whom. Just so you know -- Iran's finite oil reserves are the very reason that the Shah of Iran founded OPEC to begin with. He knew it would end someday. It was his monumental efforts to drag Iran into the twentieth century that got him into trouble in the first place. Iran seems to have a peculiar fondness for the seventh century, right on down to their astonishing lack of indoor plumbing and electrified homes. New Britain, by the way, is a town in the American state of Connecticut.
9. #6 Iran is also the darkest dictatorship on the world
Britannia ,   still rulz!   (11.27.11)
Britain has the North Sea Oil so not really so dependent on Iran's Blood Oil, especially since Saudi and Gulf States Oil still flows quite freely. Do I need to mention that Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States hate Iran more than the West? Besides it is not civilized to allow a brutal bully to terrorize you just because he has a lot of candy. We do not fall for Blood Oil! Current Teheran is down the drain, regardless of how much oil it has. If nobody buys it, it is worthless - just as the thugs who rins it. The Green Revolution will replace the primitives who run Iran today and the Iranian flow will flow towards the west and the money will flow into Iranian banks, but this time, not in the pockets of its current corrupt and genocidal dictators. I bet that Iran needs $ more than the West needs Iranian's Blood Oil.
10. #9 blood oil ! aha.
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.27.11)
It is so civilized for you to Kill over million Iraqi civilians by U.S. - UK , as long as the killers are not Muslims or Iranians!! now for Saudi and Gulf States Oil , sadly Americans terrorize them just because they have a lot of candy. yea , this is the truth.
11. Iranian Sanctions from the West
dmhunt ,   Atlanta, USA   (11.27.11)
Sanctions against other countries imposed by the US and Western allies are too numerous to count. UN reports state that the sanctions are only 13% effective and place undue hardships on the citizens of the countries being sanctioned. In many cases innocent civilians die because of medical and food shortages as a direct result of the sanctions. If the West is not willing to pony up to these human rights issues then we should be ashamed of ourselves. If America recalls, we gave Iran nuclear technology in the 60's and 70's by supplying them with a heavy water nuclear reactor. If they are looking to produce weapons grade nuclear materials then we are very much to blame for their abilities to produce it. I just wish the the US and its allies would stop trying to police the world and take care of its own problems which are numerous and quite serious for the country. If Iran decides to produce nuclear weapons it may be due to Israel's zeal to openly attack Iran as it has in the past. If I were Iran I would be attempting to protect my sovereign nation as well. The west s bullying Iran and should allow the UN to do its job, that is what their role is anyway.
12. To #10: Cut the BS
Frank ,   Canada   (11.27.11)
Salma, cut your victimist propaganda. Bush did not tell Arabs: hi bozos, it's time to start a civil war. The decision to start an endless civil war was made by Arabs themselves.
13. from #10 Salma "this is the truth."
A ,   Belgium   (11.27.11)
If you say its the true, than we can all rest assured its a lie. Nice try, though.
14. So I'm guessing leftist in the UK are thinking
James ,   Canada   (11.27.11)
No more Press TV?
15. #10 Look who's squawking about terror
Cynthia ,   USA   (11.27.11)
Your hero Arafat was the father of terror. Palestinians have blood on their hands going back decades. Although you could care less about Iran and shed no tears for the misery of your fellow Muslims in Iran, you're worried Iran will run out of money to fund Hamas and Hezbollah. Get used to it Salma. These threats coming out of Iran are a sign of panic.
16. a-jad the genuis
courtney ,   usa   (11.27.11)
