The chance are familiar, including death to america, but the circumstances are radically changed. The waterboards is intensifying. President trump has said, this threat of massive retaliation if iran strikes any americans or american assets, we have targeted 52 iranians sites. Some at a very high level and important to iran and the iranians culture. Those targets and iranians culture. Those targets and iran itself will be hit very fast and very hard. The usa wants no more threats. Under enormous american pressure, britain is adjusting its political stance.
