Considering the three sources, Associated Press, (the) BBC, and The Times; this is by far the most inclusive indepth and quoted story that I have found this morning on the Iran/United Kingdom diplomatic crisis.

This crisis is far from over and it appears the ramifications will be large for many countries of the world. Although the United States has so far been most soft spoken almost silent. Which I find most amazing when you consider that the State in trouble is England.
