That has just been strongly denied by the Iranian government and the said diplomat has appologized for being misquoted

If you are going to poke a mad dog with a stick...?
Not like they didn't know where they were. The mighty British navy have a gps outage. Doubt it. The mad dog is biting. Just the price of oil I guess.

The US spies in the sky would suggest otherwise.....simply put...Iran have taken British Soldiers because thats the way they think diplomacy works....they wouldnt dare take US troops as the US isnt quite as soft as we are......then again...we've always been a bit soft.

When push comes to shove Tony Blair will send a special operation in to get his men.

Britain is not going to admit anything about being in Iran's water.

And I believe what happened was, the brits were in Iraqi waters, and the Iranians pulled them over to their side.
