The Lead
Trump, Beware! Britain Is Trying To Suck You into an Unwinnable War against Iran
by Dennis Small (EIRNS) — Mar. 30, 2025
March 30, 2025 (EIRNS)—The recent report of the deployment of seven U.S. stealth B-2 bombers to the U.K.-U.S. military base of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, along with parallel movements of American aircraft carriers into the Middle East theater and stepped-up verbal threats against Iran from President Donald Trump, have sharply raised the temperature around a possible U.S.-Iranian confrontation. Such a conflict is London’s devout desire, as part of their effort to politically decapitate the Trump presidency by miring it in an unwinnable and very costly war—a war of exactly the sort he promised the constituency that elected him he would never let happen.
On Friday March 28, Trump commented that he had sent a letter to Iran telling them: “You have to make a decision, one way or the other, and we either have to talk, and talk it out, or very bad things are going to happen to Iran.” The next day, Trump escalated in a phone interview with NBC News: “If they [Iran] don’t make a deal, there will be bombing,” he threatened bluntly, adding that he would also impose “secondary tariffs.”
Iran didn’t take long to respond. An unnamed senior Iranian military official was cited by The Telegraph of London threatening that, if Iran is attacked, they will retaliate by striking Diego Garcia. “There will be no distinction in targeting British or American forces, if Iran is attacked from any base in the region or within the range of Iranian missiles.” And Alireza Tangsiri, commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy, told Al Mayadeen TV on March 29, according to RT that Iran rejected Trump’s threats that it had to enter new talks with the U.S. to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program and take down its missile capabilities.
“I have no knowledge of Trump’s message, nor do I care to analyze it,” Tangsiri said. “I hear his threats, I observe his actions, and I prepare myself to counter them. We have the capability to strike all enemy bases, wherever they may be…. No one can strike us and escape. Even if we have to chase them to the Gulf of Mexico, we would.” He added: “Iran will never negotiate over its missiles or the capabilities of the Resistance Front.”
An unnamed U.K. government spokesman tried to act like the aggrieved party, stating: “We condemn these threats in the strongest terms…. The base on Diego Garcia is vital to U.K. and U.S. security and plays a crucial role in maintaining regional and international security.”
