The Iranian regime is desperatly clinging to the idea of a foreign enemy to gather it's people behind them.

2. What's with Iran's hatred of Britain?

I thought they hated us more?

3. They're angry about all the Burburry Burkas the Brits have been

exporting to them lately. Fashion has no place in religious fundamentalism.

6. Softer target then America, they can say more and get less blowback.

Still isn't a Smart move, the only thing this is doing is convincing Britain that Iran needs sanctions. The only people who believe this shit is a few idiots here and Iran version of Bush's 30 percenters.

7. We're the newest enemy.

And currently the biggest.

Before us, there was Britain. Reza Pahlavi? The Brits essentially put him there in the first place. Then the British supported Iraq, so while they're less important after WWII they still figure prominently in the list of enemies thwarting the Persians' will to power.
