Badly distorting what I said won't get you anywhere. I didn't say they had it coming, I just pointed out that nobody can really understand anything without the fullest possible context; and conversely, taking things out of context and examining them in isolation guarantees that you'll get it wrong. Which is rather important in matters like this, don't you think?
To put in very simple terms for you, we should respond one way if this had come out of the blue and amounted to an arbitrary provocation; and quite another way if it was merely the latest move in a long dance between the US/Britain and Iran. You have to know what dance you're dancing before you know what steps to take.
I have to say, though, that your response was enlightening nevertheless. You evidence the same kind of thinking as the Bush Administration, and that goes a long way toward explaining the terrible mess we're in.
