Iran seizes 15 British troops in Persian Gulf

Dear Mr Spook

thank you for opening this new thread.

Accorsing to the BBC website it is indeed true.

I am not sure what the Iranians hope to acheive from this and the mvoe seems rather counterporductive and foolish. lets see how events un fold.

Maybe they just wanted a little higher price for oil...It did go higher...
 
I bet they were in Iranian waters, its happened before.
In June 2004, six British marines and two sailors were seized by Iran in the Shatt al-Arab between Iran and Iraq. They were presented blindfolded on Iranian television and admitted entering Iranian waters illegally. They were released unharmed after three days

hahaha

oh em eff gee

Ahmedifruitcake is the equivallent of a really bad CEO running his company to the ground. what on earth is he (or his military commanders) thinking ???

it would be really interesting to know what the Iranian "street" is saying... what would you feel like as a regular working class Iranian if you saw daily headlines about an international boycott and a potential war?
 
I think he was saying that Iran should not have/did not have the right to detain the soldiers, even if the troops were illegally in Iranian waters.
 
I'm very fucking suspicious of this story. They say that Iran pulled up in "inflatable boats"? This has the stinch of Black Ops to me. Israel wants Iran gone, and they'll do anything to drag the allies into their war.
