Chief of Iran’s armed forces General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri (Bagheri) in a speech on Tuesday said that Britain’s action “will not go unanswered and if necessary, a response to this humiliating move will be considered”.

I am getting so sick of these Iranians and their threats. They are led by evil leaders, The The world is better off without them.
Here's a thought. Don't hijack their ships and maybe they won't say words that hurt your feelings. Shocking I know.
Secret meetings between U.S., Iran officials in Iraq - report
The Iranian delegation included two officials from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Iraj Masjedi, Iran's special envoy to Iraq.
Ignorance is bliss eh?
What do you want to happen to the 90% of good decent Iranians? Get rid of them too because they were born over there? Ffs I know Iranians and they are smart, fun, deep people. Ofc they have terrible leaders and some bad ideologies. So do we. The only difference is that we have more power. Doesn't mean we should do what you suggest. I hope no one listens to you.
Re a soft coup, apparently the talk is just wishful thinking and useless at this point and you can bet a purge is coming after this leaked.
