He could ask a 3rd party but I would imagine any pressure that can be applied that way has been done so, most of the UK allies have the same stance to Iran, and those countries that iran may listen to are not our allies so I really don't know who a 3rd party could be to be honest. I feel nothing but sympathy for her husband and rest of her family especially her young daughter and I find the behaviour of the Iranians in this respect abhorrent, if this is all about the tank money there is no justification for them to do what they have to this family, and maybe a far more concerted effort by the entire international community speaking out against Iran in this matter should happening. | |||

If so, why not pay it? If it's the US then pick up the phone to Biden. | |||

"Apparently, some deal was done where the UK would pay 400 million owed to Iran through some trade deal but would break sanction rules so won't at up after saying they would I'd love to know the details of that Again, if the US managed it... https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/news/2021/nov/11/nazanin-zaghari-ratcliffe-iran-uk-debt-arms-deal Thanks for the link Reading that we can't pay back to the Iranian government, but can pay the Iranian central bank. If so, why not pay it? If it's the US then pick up the phone to Biden." The Americans are worried that the money would be distributed to Hezbollah, with the inference that it would fund regional terrorism. | |||

Have you forgot that, we tried that idea, that is why this mess exists, who sold them ships and just what do you think the money is compensation for, yep, the non supply of tanks we once promised them. I have no favourites amongst any of them in that region, even Saudi Arabia. Stability comes with harsh control by those in charge, something the west now realises. In the 80's I had to put 2 stamps on a post card so it got through their postal system, even there peace is a thin veneer. " | |||
