According to reports here, the USA offered a joint operation with the UK. Theresa May turned that down because she did not want the UK to be seen as being in the USA camp. The worse PM we have ever had ! She is gone this week, thank God. A remainer, a globalist puppet and an EU stooge, she is merely towing the EU line about not upsetting Iran and the Obama Big Bribe Deal. I heard a story over the weekend about the 1979 occupation of the US Embassy in Iran. It was coming over the diplomatic wires that the Russian Embassy was the next one to be taken. A communication was made from Russia to Iran which went along the lines of " take our embassy and Iran will not exist within 8 hours. " It is no good carrying a big stick if you ain't even prepared to point it at 'em !
