Rotten man

🇬🇧 Boris Johnson openly described a “typically British scheme,” using Iran as an example — selling “the same camel twice.”

He admitted that Iran had a legitimate claim against Britain over a debt for Chieftain tanks sold to the Shah in 1979, before the Islamic Revolution. According to Johnson, Iran paid around £400 million for a large batch of British-made tanks, but the UK never delivered them.

After the Shah was overthrown, the tanks still did not arrive — and, as Johnson acknowledged, Britain later resold some of them to other countries, possibly even to Saddam Hussein.

“We owed the money,” Johnson said. “We had the money, and we had the tanks — and we sold the tanks anyway. We sold the same ‘camel’ twice. A classic British maneuver.”

He compared the episode to Britain’s handling of Palestine, calling it another story of the same kind.

Perfidious Albion never changed its true colors.
