No One's in the Mood to Get It On.
Thank God.

One can only suspect what's going on beneath the surface, here: either the Brits/Americans quietly issued an ultimatum, or the entire situation was manufactured within Iran and reflects its own turmoil.

The Brits apologized and said they won't do it again

They sure as blue blazes wouldn't have pulled this stunt with Truman in the Oval Office.
Of course, if Truman ran for president today, he'd have to run as a Republican (and he'd win the nomination easily), because the Democrats have moved light-years away from him.

Yeah, but we don't know what went on behind the scenes.
Publicly, everyone saved face. Privately, I suspect it was a bit different.
And who knows whether a different person as President here--or as P.M. in Britain--would have made a big difference. We cannot assume that the Iranians are going to act in their own rational self-interest. That's why the WoT is tougher than the Cold War.

"Publicly, everyone saved face. Privately, I suspect it was a bit different."
Reminds me of this quote, said by someone whose name I forget at the moment.
"While you're saving your face, you're losing your ass."
