Today it has been announced that the Shah of Persia has declared his intent to annex Iraq.
Though the British government itself has not commented insiders in the Foreign Office are believed to be behind the idea. There has been a steady increase in British forces in the Gulf for the past month, which had fueled speculation that there was to be British military action in the region for the first time in over a year.
Should the move succeed Britian would control almost 3/5 of the regions oil, obviously putting it in a very strong position.
Obviously we will have more on this story as we get it, but it does appear that the British Empire will be growing further.
