Possible scenario
Diplomatic Escalation
40% Chance
The most likely path is a controlled diplomatic confrontation: Tehran keeps public pressure on London while Britain denies operational involvement beyond hosting allied forces. Both sides have incentives to avoid a direct UK-Iran military clash, but expulsions, sanctions designations, and UN filings remain plausible.
