What is the worst possible effect of this crisis? Economic collapse? I don't think so. Another recession? Maybe. That doesn't change the gact that the UK is and will always be wealthier than Iran. To suggest that Iran is in a more stable financial position than the UK is ridiculous. To suggest that Iran could in any way compete in a war against the UK is ridiculous.


A series of defaults in Europe could domino into the UK, and a trigger a collapsed banking system, and in effect a collapsed economy. People don't realise how indebted the economies are, and how a fine balance we are in at the moment.

Iran is already highly isolated with far less interdependence, which makes it more stable in some ways. It is oil dependent, which adds a specific type of instability, but oil prices tend to increase during crises (and the run up to them)
