Well i don't know if you have heard but Iranian forces last week seized 15 British naval service men(and one woman).

Read the above link for more information. I personally think that Iran are acting illegally.

I believe the confession of the Faye Turney was only made because she was told she would be released if she said those things.

I also think they weren't in Iranian waters because the co-ordinate of where they were seized were in Iraqi waters and once the Irans found this out they changed where they seized them.

4 After UK points this out, Iran provides alternative position, now within Iranian waters

I want to hear what you guys think, Is Iran asking for a fight or is the UK to admit there fault.

Also: Do you think the UN Security Council/NATO (or even the US) should get involved?

EDIT:

I also think they shouldn't be parading (not just British citizens but) British Navy Personnel in that way..very degrading..i hope Iran knows what it's doing to it's already tattered reputation .
