Britain: Can I have my ball back please?
Iran: No, I was here first.
Britain: No you weren’t. Give me my ball back!
Iran: Not until you admit that you smell of poo.
Britain: Don’t be ridiculous, just give me the ball back.
Iran: Not until you say that you smell of poo.
Britain: [sighs] This is so stupid. OK, I smell of poo.
Iran: Did you hear that everyone? Britain said he smells of poo! [throws ball back]
Britain: I only said that to get my ball back. Everyone knows I don’t smell of poo. Anyway, I had my fingers crossed when I said it. Everyone hates you. You’re just a big bully.
The stakes may be higher in the Gulf, but the principles are the same.

I’m afraid Iran wouldn’t be holding Briton’s ball, if it were not in her court!
This was just a little reminder that Iran wouldn’t appreciate people shooting their balls to her court, and breaking things (like borders) accidentally.
Iranians did not ask the British to admit they smelled of pooh, only that they had their balls in th ewrong court!
