Those whose seemingly rational outer demeanour conceals a hidden inner desire for revenge, bloodshed, and mass murder (and such people exist in Iran, Britain, and America, as well as elsewhere, including on this forum) will secretly be quite pleased by this crisis. They will hope it leads to the bloody conflict they secretly desire and that it causes a very high death count among those whom they have labelled as "evil". I hope they are all bitterly disappointed in that expectation, and no conflict happens, and the British sailors are returned none the worse for wear, and life goes on.

But I wouldn't necessarily bet on it.
