with regard to iran, i think the answer is what is iran's next move and we have to realise iran a lwa ys move and we have to realise iran always has a move of its own. their move is whenever pressure are two resist and to put pressure of their own. they have said that if european states cannot make whole of the oil losses that they are suffering because the sanctions they will take another step in whittling away the restrictions that they had agreed to in 2015 iran nuclear deal. they have already into ways exceeded limits and posed by the dealer and they said they will exceed them again and there is no reason to doubt they will do that. in the european states and gungan members in the uk will have to decide whether enough is enough and iran has exceeded the degree they have to impose on sanctions. it is a spiralling downward and it does not look good. the only positive step is the one we are talking about the beginning of this interview. gibraltar is releasing the ship now and i think that means that iran will probably release a british ship and that will be some reduction in tension.
