John Bolton, White House national security adviser and notorious Iraq-era hawk, is a man on a mission. Given broad latitude over policy by Donald Trump, he is widely held to be driving the US confrontation with Iran. And in his passionate bid to tame Tehran, Bolton cares little who gets hurt – even if collateral damage includes a close ally such as Britain.
Really lured Britain into Iran’s fight, how disingenuous of the guardian. When many in Europe were surprise with Britain’s action towards Iran, how easy it obeyed America, by illegally ceasing Iranian ship, and now sending warships towards Iran. BS
Who and how is going to solve this “american pie”?
Simon Tisdall thinks Iran supplying Assad with oil so his campaign of murder can continue is a good thing, and engages in a bizarre conspiracy theory that this is John Bolton's fault.
ronanburtenshaw USA resident here. I have no idea how Trump is ultra unpopular in UK and they still get them to go along with the most unpopular individual policies conceivable?! You don’t feel once bitten twice shy on Iraq?!
Sometimes its Canada [Weihua] sometimes its Britain {Grace] But cannot deny both these two countries are taken for sucxxxs, by America. What a puppeteer.
That happens when you brown nose the Yanks.
All this does, however, give Johnson the opportunity to look like a statesman, though what he can do about it remains to be seen. A foreign distraction to take our eyes off the Brexit disaster.
ronanburtenshaw The only thing that’s Special about the “Special Relationship” is Britain.
Only solution: ONE global government
Very alarming and chilling, UK has enough problems at home without getting embroiled into conflict with Iran.
Lol, Y'all would have Iran defy international law & defy the British because why? Lol, r y'all France? Are u becoming French? What is going on over there
The biggest issue is getting your news from The Guardian.
Yeah it's nothing to do with a British oil tanker been taken has it.... Give over with ya bull shit
U.K. was enforcing Eu sanctions idiots call yourself a newspaper
Rocket science. The US is going to lose in the end. Read how this ends in any EVanLustbader saga.
Have we not learned anything from our recent history?
No, it was the gullible British Elites that wanted to play British Empire once again for old time sake but got its arshes burned big time.
Once again the Tories are exposed as naive amateurs
Can't the UK think for itself anymore then?
Lets give Iran Boris Johnson as a hostage on Tuesday. That should solve multiple problems!
The isolation referred to here, is because Britain took the action to search Grace 1 without any reference to Spain or another European Union state. The EU is committed to the JCPOA. The Trump administration has broken international law and triggered this crisis, by leaving it.
Doesn't take a lot of luring yo be honest.... puppy dog waiting to be petted.
Wait till Johnson becomes PM .. two lunatics on the same boat ❗️
Jeremy_Hunt just stop trotting behind the Americans. If you want Brexit and a “global Britain” so much, at least learn to stand on your own feet. Could be an exhilarating experience after 60 on your knees. theresa_may BorisJohnson TonyBlair GordonBrown

So, can we call it a regime that's ruled by puppets of a foreign hegamony, a democracy?
Bolton is in the pockets of AIPAC And that is the only reason he wants to invade bomb & go to war with Iran. He is a deranged lunatic. Trump should get rid of him before we start world war 3. War is business. The military industrial complex. Bolton makes money for the war machine
Heavens, so now it's blame the victim time yeah?
So there we have it, the guardian supporting Iran and we haven’t even fired a shot yet..
...lured Britain and indirectly Spain...
The Gulf-war, which now includes the British government. This will definitely escalate in future to come, but which of the country's is benefiting from this; that I can't really tell
Iran is a rogue nation, does not abide by Western Trade Protocol, ie. Sanctions on Syria. Fact.
Maybe this will end the narrative from the brexiteers that the UK would get some sort of preferential trade deal from our American 'friends'. As the phrase goes, with friends like this...
No more warnings .
Vous n'avez pas un sentiment de... déjà vu ?
No it didn't. UK blocked an Iranian ship that was supplying Syria with weapons, according to an International embargo. Your articles about this case are suspiciously one sided. You are parroting Iran's arguments.
That's called stupidity
