The recent storming of the British embassy in Tehran by a group of Iranians has chilled Iran-U.K. relations to their lowest point in 20 years. British Prime Minister David Cameron vowed that "very tough action" would be taken against Iran.
U.S. President Barack Obama, who is deeply concerned about that situation, also said: "We expect to see some sort of definitive action some time very quickly."
The United States is keeping a close eye on Iran because it is afraid that Iran's possible rise in the Middle East through a nuclear program may break the current balance of power in the region, posing a major threat to U.S. interests.
The United States has long been preventing the emergence of a regional power in the Middle East and is thus unable to tolerate oil-rich Iran's nuclear program. The conflicts between the United States and Iran are irreconcilable because the United States and Israel will not allow Iran to "rise peacefully" through its nuclear program. The rivalry between the two sides over Iran's nuclear issue is bound to go on an upward spiral.
