PM warns Iran over Navy captives

The 15 are based on HMS Cornwall, which patrols Iraqi territorial waters

Efforts to secure the release of 15 Royal Navy personnel held by Iran will enter a "different phase" if diplomatic moves fail, Tony Blair has said.
Downing Street said the UK could end up releasing evidence proving the group had not ventured into Iranian waters.
Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett has called for their "speedy return".
Meanwhile, the family of the only woman detained, Faye Turney from Shropshire, have said this is a "very distressing time" for them.
The BBC has been told the group are being held at an Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps base in Tehran.
Iran says they were trespassing in Iranian waters when they were seized on Friday - but the prime minister said the group were in Iraqi waters under a UN mandate.


Mr Blair was said the most important thing was the welfare of the eight sailors and seven marines from HMS Cornwall and securing their release. The prime minister's official spokesman said Mr Blair's remarks about a "different phase" did not refer to any extreme diplomatic action, such as expelling Iranian diplomats from Britain or military action.

So they are respectful of UN mandates when it allows them to go into certain waters, but they aren't when it denies them the ability to invade a country?

Pick and choose. Pick and choose.

The iranians are pissed that all their little friends have been arrested in Iraq. Good to see the US is putting the economic squeeze on Iran. I hope their already low living standard keeps falling.

well maybe if iran wasnt causing al the trouble in iraq then there wouldnt be as many problems.

You do have to wondier if Iran would kidnap American troops? They seem to think Britain's a soft touch. Blair needs to take a lesson out of Thatcher's book and sink an Iranian warship when this is all over.

This is what we want to see:

[HotShot]

Bah.. the british are powerless. Unless the captives voluntarily were arrested and felt Iran was much better place to be than Iraq.

I guess it's all relative but I would call Iran's GDP per capita a low standard of living. Their 2006 GDP per capita was $8900 Australia's was $32900. But hey I know these islamic idiots have low expectations and know that they are too backward a people to ever catch up to the West or the Singapore, Hong Kongs, South Koreas of this world.

yes its true Iran did not dare to abduct US troops patrolling the same area because it means US will use it as a pretex to attack Iran and probably launch a fullscale war.

US military leaders also questioned why Brits troops did not fire the iranian. They said if US soldiers were in similar situation they will open fire at iranian vessels.

Iran is already regretting its action because sooner or later it have to release them and it is said that Iran is seeking a way to release them without humiliating herself again.

At best it was machine gun versus gunboats. If that happened, it would've been 15 dead british rather and captured.

What about income dispersion? Also calling Persian people islamic...

SOURCE? Oh a 2008 student. Can you backup your claims?

Yes, The Australian and Sydney Morning Herald issues during the past 4 days. Read those newspaper if you are literate and can afford it.

Iran cannot refine enough oil even for its own use, it can refine only 60% of its own needs and it needs to import oil .

Iran now changed the position of the ship where they seized brits because the position they pointed was inside Iraqi waters now they moved it to a different place inside iranian waters lol. They are simply pathetic.

Meanwhile, britain is referring the matter to UN security council and seek condemnation of Iran's action.

Meanwhile US Military have its biggest military exercise in the Persian Gulf with 2 Aircraft Carrier Group as a show of force and might. You know the good ol USA is always there to support you when you need it USA USA all the way ...

Whichever way you cut it Iran is per capita a poor country. Mexico has a higher per capita income. Last time I checked islam was the predominant religion in Iran and the governing ideology among the mullahs.

Not even the US would be stupid enough to use this as a pretext for invasion, even if it were their soldiers.
What does your point about oil have to do with anything?

Then there would be 15 dead US soldiers for no reason. If, as you say, with all your wordly knowledge, the Brits are going to be released sooner or later anyway, what's the point in killing those Iranians? They may be soldiers, and to you , nothing but muslims anyway, but in the civilised world life is respected no matter what religion it is.

.

You use emoticons as if they are some kind of stamp that says "FACT"

Yep. All that good old US support, putting on a parade at sea. That'll get those British soldiers back.

Maybe Iran didn't realise before this that the US had an army with a lot of people in it? I wouldn't be suprised if they just gave up, now that the US brought not one but TWO aircraft carriers.

lol.

I don't think the US are as stupid as the Israelis to launch a war just for soldiers who will probably die. They don't want to be humiliated like the zionists.

Iran isn't a part of the civilised world.
