Default DT main letters

SIR – Stephen Pollard hits the nail on the head (“Donald Trump has just demonstrated the decisive leadership the West needs”, telegraph.co.uk, February 28).

President Trump has shown more backbone than all the European leaders combined. Our own Prime Minister is an embarrassment.

Negotiations with Iran have dragged on for decades, and been used as a stalling tactic by Tehran while it pursues nuclear weapons and regional supremacy. The destruction of this odious regime will bring monumental benefits to the people of Iran, the Middle East and the world.

Alan Tomlinson
Cheadle, Cheshire


SIR – Our weak Prime Minister equivocated about the American and Israeli action against Iran, while Dame Emily Thornberry condemned it as a breach of international law.

This is the same international law that has allowed Iran to become the largest sponsor of global terrorism, is continuing to look on as the mullahs attempt to enrich uranium, and has seemingly failed to notice that the regime has recently murdered thousands of its own citizens.

If these aren’t imminent threats, I’m not sure what meets that definition. A nuclear warhead on its way to London from Tehran, perhaps.

Well done to Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage for their immediate support of our allies.

Interesting theory about current developments that appeared in my feed and since it directly involves Britain and has potential entertainment value, I'm sharing it here:

NEW: While every talking head screams "Iraq 2.0," @Barbaramboyd
explains what they'll NEVER tell you — 118 years of British financial control over Iran, and why Trump just struck the last piece on the Empire's chessboard.



It's 15 minutes but life is still short so here are some of the talking points:

Quote:
-Every govt in Iran is backed by London to protect Middle Eastern oil since 1908 and directly supports Britain financially
-Board of Peace is partially designed to dismantle all this
-History: Iranians got nothing out of relationship with Britain and when they tried to nationalize themselves, British and CIA overthrew Iranian govt in 1951 and installed the Shah using the Muslim Brotherhood (yes, those)
-Both govts allowed for Khomeini revolution because the Shah stopped being useful
-Endless war between Israel, Arab states and Iran have been profitable for London (but definitely not the US)
The video ends by saying this is a great way to celebrate our 250th anniversary by "finishing off the British empire once and for all". Which for most Americans is probably like:



Internet:



The timing at least supports the potential setup of Board of Peace:

With a Golden Gavel and a Threat to Iran, Trump Launches His Board of Peace
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/u...e-meeting.html

Quote:
To begin with, there was the timing. Mr. Trump was hosting this meeting just as he was moving a mighty array of military hardware into place near Iran. He used his peace summit to threaten all-out war. “Bad things will happen” if Iran doesn’t make a deal with him about its nuclear program, he warned. “You’re going to be finding out over the next probably 10 days.”

Also, there was the location. The Trump-led Board of Peace met at the Donald J. Trump United States Institute of Peace (it’s just down the street from the Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts). “Marco named it after me,” Mr. Trump explained about the venue while his secretary of state sat a few feet away. “I had nothing to do with it, I swear I didn’t. I swear. I had no idea.”

And there was the very nature of the thing. What is the Board of Peace, really? To see it come together for the first time is to understand it as a manifestation of a Trump World Order.
Countries on the Board of Peace (highlighting countries relatively adjacent to Israel/Iran):

Quote:
While invitations were sent out to dozens of countries, not all have agreed to join the board alongside the U.S.

Those countries that have accepted are:

Albania
Argentina
Armenia
Azerbaijan
Bahrain
Belarus
Bulgaria
Cambodia
Egypt
El Salvador
Hungary
Indonesia
Israel
Jordan

Kazakhstan
Kuwait
Kosovo
Morocco
Mongolia
Pakistan
Paraguay
Qatar
Saudi Arabia
Turkey
United Arab Emirates
Uzbekistan
Vietnam

Others have opted out, including multiple European nations.
Quoted:

Quote:
President Donald Trump, at the meeting: “Someday I won’t be here. The United Nations will be. I think it is going to be much stronger, and the Board of Peace is going to almost be looking over the United Nations and making sure it runs properly.”

How UK's strained relationship with Iran impacts Middle East crisis diplomacy (2024)
https://inews.co.uk/news/uk-strained...crisis-3224958

Quote:
UK’s commercial links to Iranian oil – and what went wrong

The Anglo-Persian Oil Company, a British firm, controlled Iran’s oil industry from the early 20th century. In 1951, under prime minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, Iran’s parliament voted to nationalise the oil industry.

Britain fought against its nationalisation, bringing a complaint to the International Court of Justice in The Hague, but the court ruled against Britain on 22 July, 1952.

The following year, a coup d’état funded and orchestrated by the US and the UK occurred in Iran and removed Mosaddegh from power. Power was then consolidated under the monarch Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, the former king’s son, and also known as the Shah.

Retired Colonel Simon Diggins, a military and defence analyst, told i the UK’s involvement with the overthrow of the democratic regime of Mosaddegh was “a strategic disaster”.

“We could probably have had what we wanted in terms of access to the oil, but we had to permit a degree of development, and we chose to align ourselves with a man who turned out to be extremely authoritarian.”

He added: “We have never really owned up to our responsibility for the coup in 1953 or recognised what the consequences were.

“It basically destabilised Iran, which was on a sort of slow post-colonial path to development, and we asserted and put in place an authoritarian leader who suited our interests, but he increasingly found himself out of favour, and became more and more oppressive towards the Iranian people.”
Quote:
Professor Gerges said: “I think it is unlikely to see any kind of improvement in British-Iranian relations, without improvement in US-Iranian relations. There is relative consensus – both in Iran, in the region and in Western circles – that wherever the United States goes, British foreign policy follows.”

He added that he has no doubt that if Trump wins the election in November, the United States could get into war with Iran.
It's those meddling British! (Meanwhile, ignore our own involvement)

Excerpt:

Quote:
The Observer
@observerfiles

For those crashing out, and unable/unwilling to understand the Trump Administration's rationale here:

Over the past 125 years, the British Empire has maintained a strategic stranglehold on the Middle East through a calculated policy of geopolitical and financial destabilization. Operating on the imperial maxim of geopolitics and "divide and rule," British policymakers have systematically manipulated religious and ethnic tensions to prevent the emergence of sovereign, industrialized nation-states in the region.

Keir Starmer has finally given the US permission to use British bases to destroy Iranian missiles. Better late than never.

The Prime Minister is a follower, not a leader.

So are we in the war now ??

Thought we were keeping out of things so we wouldn’t become a target.

War doesn't work like that, unfortunately. Otherwise all allies would just sit back and do nothing allowing for everyone else to destroy each other which they can then come up the pieces. It can work if them getting involved would make it a huge problem for that nation, but it's not a guarantee. Allowing the US to take them out and make them less of a problem for everyone does help that, though.

We have to protect our interests and defend our citizens in the affected areas. Iran has decided to attack them, so we either sit back and do nothing, or take steps to assist them. Allowing our airbases to be used assists them, it's as simple as that

[Officials are planning to evacuate hundreds
of thousands of Britons as fires raged across
the Gulf last night.

After the US air strikes on Tehran,
and Iran's suicide-drone revenge attacks
on tourist hot-spots
including Dubai,
94,000 British citizens have registered
their contact details with the
Foreign Office - many of them holiday-makers
visiting the region or transiting through it.

It came as Keir Starmer agreed to a
US request to use British military bases to
hit Iranian missile sites.]
