Thanks. Very clear connection.
Possibly a smart move from Iran. Given that Keir Starmer has in recent days said he seeks closer ties with Europe (rather than the US-which is repeatedly proving to be a fickle ally), and he has a background as a Human Rights Lawyer, all he needs to do is follow suit. British flagged vessels can then sail unhindered. This would need Britain to stop allowing US “defensive strikes” from taking place from the UK. Small price to pay-if at all from a UK perspective. Iran can then negotiate with Europe
