We’re going to be dealing with a Nuclear Iran due to our stonewalling on this issue. It’s time to put it’s leaders out of our misery.

The official said the incident did show Iran's determination to defend the Straits of Hormuz - the strategic waterway at the mouth of the Gulf.

It rather sounds like the Iranians believe that they own the Straits. Their neighbours are likely to disagree.

I thought they said the US made the incident up. The Iranian government needs a Ministry of Lie Coordination.

Ayatollah Khamenei insisted that Iran was not building a nuclear bomb.

Ayatollah Khamenei will be the first to insist that Iran has a nuclear bomb once they achieve the capability to do so and have one.

At first glance the headline left me with the impression that the BBC itself issued a stern warning to America.

.

.

OTOH perhaps that actually is the case after all - the BBC warning America. LOL.

This is like a little 3 year old toddler telling me (a 6 foot, 375 lb man) to watch what I’m doing! Hahahahaha!

Bush warns them, they warn us...

They are trying to create the same tit-for-tat BS that we see with the Palestinians and the Israelis...

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during a meeting with the head of the UN nuclear watchdog, Mohamed ElBaradei... insisted that Iran was not building a nuclear bomb. He also said that the issue should not even be considered by the United Nations Security Council.
I'm sure el Baradei just nodded and agreed. Not that el Baradei is unfit for the position or anything. :') Thanks Ernest.
