What a mess this is. You know, I’ve been thinking about this alot. First of all, if they were that close to the middle of the line and the boat or ship or whatever it was was shut off for the Brits to board, the boats could have drifted from Iraqi to Iranian water. That’s one thought. So who knows where they started and where they ended. The other thing is, if they weren’t in Iranian waters, why did they say, oh ok….take us. ????? Wouldn’t they have put up some kind of objection….I mean really big time objection. Also, oil went up because of this. We don’t even get any oil from Iran, but our prices will go up. What a rip. Anywho……I hope the Brits are ok (they’re probably safer with Iranians than they would be if they were “prisoners” of the rendition lovin, torture lovin U.S.) and that they return home safely.

The UN Security Council has backed a statement expressing “grave concern” at Iran’s detention of 15 British sailors and marines.

It also supports consular access to the captives.

After hours of negotiations, Britain’s ambassador Emyr Jones Parry said the council called “for an early resolution of this problem, including the release of the 15 personnel”.

Russia had prevented a tougher statement that would have demanded an immediate release of the British servicemen and woman.

Britain had wanted a statement saying the UN “deplored” the Iran’s action.

The Ministry Of Defence says satellite data proves the detainees were seized last week in Iraqi waters, not Iranian waters.

Tehran responded by showing video of the capture and charts it says show the opposite.
