So what more does Iran have to do?

Threaten Israel.

Thumb their nose at the UN Security Council

and now...

hostages.

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

I guess we will find out. A similar incident a few years back garnered no response if I recall correctly...

Cheers.

Does the US?

Iran has been blowing up US soldiers in Iraq for 3 years with no retaliation from the US.

They have, but shrinking fast.

The answer is... No they don't. Think Rwanda.

I misread that. I thought you had typed "UN".

Sorry.

The UK isn't going to take any unilateral action over this incident. Just like the U.S. didn't when U.S. naval contractors were detained in similar fashion by the Iranians.

No question ... the UK has been a staunch supporter of the U.S.. In addition to troops in Iraq they also have a strong military presence in Afghanistan.

Unfortunately the owner of them is not longer in office and in poor health.

Prayers for the captured sailors and those who love them.
