"different phases"[edit]

This is basically one step short of saying war. DragonFire1024 10:20, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I dunno, I followed the BBC's "Have Your Say" on this, and the top rated comments could be summed up as "Give our boys (and girls) back or we nuke you 'till you glow". Somehow I can't see Tony saying "We are now at war with Iran", he's too much of a weaselly politician to be that blunt. --Brian McNeil / talk 11:37, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
He's not going to war over it, certainly not as long as they are unharmed. "Different phases" probably means expelling some diplomats, freezing some assets or going to the SC. --+Deprifry+ 12:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Should just park the entire Royal Navy in Iranian waters.82.34.76.126 17:56, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

He probably means sanctions. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.174.164.43 (talkcontribs)
