British anxieties against Iran? Timing is more important than Facts

British anxieties against Iran? 

What is the politics behind it

Timing is more important than Facts

Is Britain angry with Iran? who was once a pawn of Empire yet replaced by the new master after 1971. In 2016 the same Iran is in new alignment with US, China and that is why old masters looked angry. The Kulboshan story in Pakistan may have links with this anxiety. Timing of Kalbhusion issue proved that some forces in Pakistan want to antagonize Iran. They publicly raised that issue when Iranian President was visiting Pakistan.  Had they reservations regarding Kulbhusion issue they could raise it in camera but they made it Public. It did not served Pakistan and damaged Pak Iran relations. BBC is consistently publishing stories which they could published in 1980s and in the links below you can read/listen it and check the dates too. The  story of contacts between Imam Khumaini and US may be true yet exposing it after 37 years looks tricky too. Gary Sick gave his rebuttal but it was a fact that Shah Iran had lost US confidence in early 1970s  and Iran's weak presence in 2nd Islamic summit at Lhore (1974) was a result of that changing scenario. We also knew how CIA used occupation of US embassy in Iran as an incident against Cater in election campaign (Iran hostage crisis).  But in 2016 Iran is not in confrontation mode and that is not acceptable to some international players. We have to analysis politics of Indian Ocean, Red Sea and Persian Gulf as a whole otherwise we cannot understand it. There is a lethal connection between Pak-Afghan-Iran region and politics of Indian Ocean, Red Sea and Persian Gulf which needs little attention. On the one hand UK is not happy with the growing influence of EU and on the other hand it is losing its influence at the junction of sea and land routes.
