Are Iran doing the right thing holding british troops for ''going into'' Iraney waters?
If they did actually stray into Iranian waters then they are fully justified in arresting them, however if the British Government said they did not, and the sailors actually didn't (despite the "confessions") then I obviously detaining the British sailors is totally wrong.
But the truth is.. its only water, How can that be doing something wrong?
They have no right, its their duty to abide by the instructions given.
They probs didn't even stray into Iranian waters.
Its only water i think they should grow up.
because if they actually did, it'd be trespassing right?Quote:

Thats not entirely true, it all depends on what they intend to do, you wouldnt let someone with nukes into the english channel..
The water 'belongs' to the Iranians, if we strayed into the water then we violate international law. It could also be seen (by the paranoid Iranians) as an act of aggression, as a group of sailors armed and on a boat equipped with military items entering your waters is something the Iranians do not want.Quote:

For example the body language of certain sailors while confessing gives stuff away; they shuffle in their seat suggesting they are uncomfortable and look to someone behind the camera most likely for reassurance they are saying the right thing.Quote:

If this is solved as it should be, by diplomacy. I doubt they will :) I don't think they would be able to regardless, but I am not sure.Quote:

The individuals should be returned, and some sort of agreement should be decided.
