"UK sailors captured at gunpoint"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Fifteen British navy personnel have been captured at gunpoint by Iranian forces, the Ministry of Defence says.
The men were seized at 1030 local time when they boarded a boat in the Gulf, off the coast of Iraq, which they suspected was smuggling cars.
The Royal Navy said the group was on a routine patrol in Iraqi waters and were understood to be unharmed."

While Iran has done this in the past, tensions were not at this level. Remember, RUMINT was that Iran was going to capture (American) soldiers in retaliation for those Iranian operatives arrested in the current surge. The second issue is that this may also be a ruse to draw US naval assets to this area of the gulf where they would be more vulnerable to Iranian anti-ship weapons. If they try this again, there would be more than enough justification for a strike upon the Iranian naval facilities that they operated out of as well as any assest in the immediate area.
