The UK should back Donald Trump’s expected maximum economic sanctions against Iran as part of an effort to encourage nationals to end their support for the current regime in Tehran, Mark Sedwill, the former cabinet secretary, argues in a report published on Monday.
He writes: “It is not for the west, let alone the UK, to determine who rules Iran. That is for the Iranian people. But we can make clear that the right choice will bring benefits just as the wrong one will bring more of the same.”
He suggests in a foreword to a Policy Exchange pamphlet that the UK should show leadership against Iran by backing what he regards as Trump’s likely policy of a return to maximum economic sanctions against the regime.
This is some Mafia level bullshit wording. Just say that you want to force a regime change from the outside. Looking at Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and many other examples this has always failed and mostly ended in the Western allies directly or indirectly massacring millions of people, but maybe this time it will work. Just keep trying USA and UK…
