Iran confiscates patrol boats

[Krusher]

I bet they don't hold them for very long.


TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran said Monday it had confiscated three British naval vessels and arrested eight armed crew members. The Royal Navy acknowledged it had lost contact with three small patrol boats on a routine mission in the waterway between Iraq and Iran.

I'm betting you're right. Unless they're looking to start WWIII.

I don't imagine the Brits will stand by and allow their troops to be held captive for long. An invasion perhaps? Where do you think this would lead?

LOL

since british troops enter their waters w/o permition, they made a mistake...

London will use pure diplomatic way as german did, when one young german guy got death penality for his stupidity. (it took 2 years)



Name me one country whitch has been invaded, because sutch thing.

Dont you think, that London should appologize and apply sincerely for release of their troops instead of brave  words ?

Or should they be cool and move there some of their funny jets?


What should be proper attitude of London in this case in your opinion ?


btw.: forget seals and sutch crap, US did try once in past

Who said the Brits were in Iran's waters? Wars have been fought over such matters.

F14

Can you name me one war between non-thirdworld countries  whitch started coz of similary problem ?

[AKIron]

You're kidding right? I can name a lot of wars that started over territorial disputes. That is what this is and if Iran wants to get their butts kicked in a big way they'll try to hold on to those troops. Of course who knows what may happen in the process.

[Yeager]

non issue.

I agree but only because I think Iran will return those guys pretty quick.

So i hope you agree to know nothing about this problem, since you didnt even know that they were probably armed and they entered Iranian waters.

Iranian guards showed they good habbits, since they didnt blow them.

If you were one of those iranian guards, i guess these brits were probably history now.

If Brits will cross national water of ZAR and they will be arested, they should do the same... appology and apply for release.

You seems to be blinded by hate. Whats wrong with you ?


btw.: Name me one war, whitch started by sutch thing and i will be happy. Im not kidding, but i realy can not recall even one.

Easy enough, the waterway these guys were in, dividing Iraq and Iran, was one of the reasons for the Iraq/Iran war.

And 70 mil. people in Iran hope that Brits will explain what their armed ships did in their national waters w/o permition.

I do not see any reason why should it be done quickly..

It should be done properly and it will be done so, coz UK nor iran are not offensive agressors.

hehee... Saddam Hussein claimed a bit diferent things when war started.
Are you sure ?

i just googled this

 War between Iran and Iraq, lasting from 1980 to 1988.
The background for the war was disagreements on the borderline between the two countries, stemming back to 1971, when Iran occupied a couple of Iraqi islands in the Persian Gulf near the outlet of Shatt El Arab. Iraq was also objecting the Islamist propaganda that was transmitted from Iran to Iraq, and Iraq's government feared that there could be a revolution among the Iraqi Shi'is in the south. In 1980 Iraq expected that Iran was weak after the Iranian Revolution, so that Iraq would face little resistance when occupying Iranian territory.

seems no fish were involved
