Unless the British subjects are returned no later than 00:00 GMT on March 24, Her Majesty's Government informs the State of Persia that a State of War will exist....
I say we start with revoking nutjob's visa and let him know diplomatic messages will be sent through the 'tomahawk' mail service.

I agree. I believe our strategty of capturing supposed Iranian Revolution 'diplomats' was part of the plan. Since they have pissed on our head for 30+ years they felt that tit for tat would be OK. It's like baiting the mouse with some funky smelling cheese.
Yes, ask someone from Argentina who remembers 1982 and the Falklands Islands War, and they know how much Maggie meant business.
