[United Kingdom / Iran] - The Paranoid Self Blames the Phantom Enemy to Feed a Phantom of External Threat

Event Baseline: The UK government said Iran is 'highly likely' behind an incident at RAF Fairford that led to the withdrawal of US B-1 bombers. Iran's ambassador was summoned.

The UK self and the Iranian self are bound together in a dance of accusation. Each needs the other to justify its own violence. The RAF Fairford incident is a mirror. The UK sees an attack. Iran sees a threat. Both are true. Neither sees the whole. The cycle will continue. The bombers will return. The accusations will escalate. The self will call this security. It is actually the mechanical reproduction of fear.
