the diplomats and the politicians were acutely aware that Tehran has built a foreign policy on disregarding diplomatic niceties. Ah the British penchant for understatement, there's really nothing quite like it.

Amazing, isn't it. I remember the British reaction to the terrorist bombings in London in July 2005. The British politicians and public had a shocking "cold reaction" to what happened as if it was like an train accident or something but definitely they did not consider it as an act of war against their nation.
