Iran use of force in taking British sailors is attack on all.

All of NATO on the hook.

Even if England wants to ignore it, this was an attack on NATO as well.

Let's Roll.

I think that is why the EU is issuing warnings of "strong action" probably under the NATO banner.

While France and Germany line up the contracts to undermine our position.

"And those who support them" needs to be applied to these enablers also.

the real question is
Was this really an attack?Sailors came back, if they were caught on Iranian waters they have the right to keep them.I'm not saying it was their water but they claim it was their.(I don't know whose it is)In that case they have the right to keep them.

The British service personnel were conducting legal operations in Iraqi waters. The Iranians crossed the border, transgressed on Iraqi waters and hence conducted what was clearly an act of war - a casus belli.

The Iranians correctly released their captives/hostages/prisoners/whatever you call them.

What is not clear is whether they did it purely to look like the good guys (which they are not, and do not) or because of some threat made on the quiet.

Cheers.

You're forgetting that Iranians are also human.If they want to look like good guys why would they capture them.Anyway they say that they've proofs and untill it's disproven they hae the right to keep them(I don't know what exactly happened I'm not saying they were right).
Oh and Iranians are very friendly to guests.  :)
+They don't have any problems with England, their main problem is Israel.
I'm not supporting them but you don't have to be that much suspicious.Maybe they did it beacuse of threats but maybe they were really going to treat them well.
 
There is no point in capturing soldiers either.They don't want to seem like they're a problem.If there is going to be a war, they want it to be caused by USA or Isrel which would make them seem guilty.(I think that way)
So if they see some illegal guys, they can arrest them.They wouldn't do it for nothing but because it's duty of the patrolling soldiers.I mean I don't think they planned to go capture some Biritish soldiers
