No doubt Iran will release them shortly rather then lose the goodwill of much of Europe and the American Press.

Do they really expect the West to react they way we did in 1979? (Thanks again, Mr. Carter!!! *grrrr*)

As I posted in other threads about this. It is an act of war against the UK. Time to bomb the bastards back to hell.

I guess the Iranians will claim the British vessels had entered Iranian waters...

Looks like Iran wants a war.
A Vanguard class (trident) and a Trafalgar class (Tomahawk cruise) submarine is already in the gulf off Iran. . . .

The Iranians announced last week that they were going to do this in retaliation for what they claim is the kidnapping of Iranian military officers and officials.

Wasnt there a similar incident a few years back, with the British sailors being paraded on Iranian TV before being returned. The Iranians kept the British boats though..

So what more does Iran have to do?
Threaten Israel.
Thumb their nose at the UN Security Council
and now...

The question is... Does the UK have any balls?

Bad move, Iran. Bad move.
Today, in hearings will the Dems still rally to defund our troops? They don't have a leg to stand on, today in light of this news. Prayers up for UK troops.
