A website run by associates of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, reported last night that the Britons would be put before a court and indicted.Referring to them as “insurgentsâ€, the site concluded: “If it is proven that they deliberately entered Iranian territory, they will be charged with espionage. If that is proven, they can expect a very serious penalty since according to Iranian law, espionage is one of the most serious offences.â€
Eight British troops were captured in 2004 and held for 3 days in Tehran, where they were subjected to mock executions and were paraded on Iranian TV before being released.
The Times story also claims that the Brits were grabbed in revenge for the arrest of 5 Revolutionary Guard officers in Iraq earlier this year:
Al-Sharq al-Awsat, a Saudi-owned newspaper based in London, quoted an Iranian military source as saying that the aim was to trade the Royal Marines and sailors for these Guards.The claim was backed by other sources in Tehran. “As soon as the corps’s five members are released, the Britons can go home,†said one source close to the Guards.
According to Ynet News the decision to capture the troops was approved last week by the Iranian General Staff and was introduced by Iran's Supreme Security Council:
The decision was reached after a report submitted to Iran’s ground forces commander warned that information on the activities of the Revolutionary Guards and the “Al-Quds Force†in Iraq was being leaked to British and American intelligence agencies following the arrest of senior “Al-Quds Force†officers by US troops in northern Iraq.The kidnapping of Iran’s Intelligence Ministry envoy in Baghdad and the disappearance of Iranian Colonel Amir Muhammad Shirazi in Turkey (according to Iranian estimations Shirazi was kidnapped by Americans) , also played a part in the decision to kidnap the British soldiers.
Add in the UN sanctions plan that was approved today, and it doesn't look like Iran will be backing down soon. What their ultimate goal might be is hard to tell so far: are they expecting the British to cave, or are they trying to provoke an attack that they would use to justify their nuclear program?

The decision to capture British sailors in the Persian Gulf was reached by the Iranian General Staff six days ago in response to the arrest of Iranian officers by US forces in Iraq, an Iranian military official said.
On Saturday the UK-based newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat quoted the Iranian military source as saying that a plan to capture American or British coalition troops was formulated by the Islamic Republic’s Supreme Security Council.
The decision was reached after a report submitted to Iran’s ground forces commander warned that information on the activities of the Revolutionary Guards and the “Al-Quds Force†in Iraq was being leaked to British and American intelligence agencies following the arrest of senior “Al-Quds Force†officers by US troops in northern Iraq.
The kidnapping of Iran’s Intelligence Ministry envoy in Baghdad and the disappearance of Iranian Colonel Amir Muhammad Shirazi in Turkey (according to Iranian estimations Shirazi was kidnapped by Americans) , also played a part in the decision to kidnap the British soldiers.
Senior Revolutionary Guards officials suggested kidnapping US and British soldiers with the aim of eventually exchanging them in return for the captured Iranian officers. According to the military source, the Iranian General Staff initially asked to exhaust all the available diplomatic channels, adding that Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari promised his Iranian counterpart that the officers would be released by the Iranian New Year, which was marked three days ago.
This was clearly an intentional act of provocation by the Iranian government and had nothing what-so-ever to do with your little bullshit Lion protecting his territory crap, sadly the Brits will probably roll over and suck Iranian cock almost as fast as you would.

So Ynetnews.com is an Islamofacist media outlet eh? Somehow I bet this little revelation of yours would shock the yarmulkah’s right of the heads of those evil villainous Jew boys who run Ynet. Oh yea, that’s right I didn’t call you shit for brains because you‘re a rocket scientist, but because you proudly display the intelligence of a hot steaming pile of shit.
As for those little tiny boats, yea the ones with GPS tracking systems that can locate them to within 1.5 meters yup they just might have strayed into Iranian water, and you just might have a Iranian cock in your mouth right this minute too.
Further, who cares if those mighty Iranian warriors were planning a capture op some days before executing it?
So what you’re saying here is that you are cool with unprovoked acts of war? What I would really like to know is…How do you type with your head stuck so fucking far up your ass? Furthermore, how the hell do you manage to breathe, oh wait obviously not very well as the debilitating effects of oxygen starvation are clearly manifesting themselves in your posts.
Planning to kidnap someone clearly indicates that the brits didn’t just stray into Iranian waters. But I don’t expect someone who lubes up their asshole on an hourly basis in preparation of bending over, surrendering and taking it up the ass the moment someone growls at them to understand just how serious kidnapping military personal is. Maybe if your head wasn’t so full of shit instead of brains you would relies just how many wars have been started that way.

Funny thing about hypocrisy, you want to talk about potty mouths take the plunger out of your own mouth first. As to war, I didn’t know they gave medals for surrendering because if you have any medals that’s the only god damn thing you got them for. I don’t have any medals and never implied that I do, I do however come from a military family that someone from every generation has served in the U.S. Military since the Revolutionary War.
Now lets look at you shall we, when confronted with the facts all you can do is ignore them and hurl insults. Yes that’s right, if it were up to you the British would bend over and take it up the ass and then thank the Iranians for fucking them. God you make the fucking surrender monkey cheese eating French look brave. In fact you sound like one of those brave UN peacekeepers who stood by while the people you were suppose to be protecting were slaughtered. Good fucking looking out there dildo breath.

Maybe because people like RJ dont have the balls to confront evil, or are just to god damn stupid to know evil when they see it. Watching him make excuses for the Iranians actions makes me want to puke.

Dorian Grey, you are such a coward, little boy. You're not evil, just stupid and scared, especially of reality. Hiding behind your language. Oscar Wilde is rolling over in his grave!

Ah....I see, guilt transference, when all else fails accuse others of your greatest fears. Want to go back to the facts here? No of course not because then not only would you prove yourself to be the coward you would have to face the truth about yourself.
But you go right ahead and continue insulting me and making excuses for why the British should roll over and play dead, I always get a good laugh when a surrender monkey challenges anyone else’s courage, it has that exact same rank stench of hypocrisy that emanated from your mouth when you called me a potty mouth.

If my neighbor's car has a global tracking device so that he can get to where he wants to drive, it seems to me that the British military would use a better sat. system so its sailors would know exactly where their boat/ships are at all times. Thus, I find the arguments lacking in one respect: I don't hear anyone saying that they know exactly where those boats were at the time of capture.
Contrast your wstatement with
Admiral Sir Alan West, the former head of the Royal Navy, dismissed suggestions that the British boats might have been in Iranian waters. West, who was first sea lord when the previous arrests took place in June 2004, said satellite tracking systems had shown then that the Iranians were lying and the same was certain to be true now.
And then your bullshit here
Whoops, the male learns his land is being trepassed by another lion not of his pride...on the hunt he goes. Now, why did that lion come onto the other male's territory? He has a nose to smell, right? And of course, those Iranians who captured the Brits don't use binoculars to spot their prey, either. "Hey Abdul, look there is a small boat with Brits on board two inches inside our territory...let's go capture those invaders!"
And what we have is you making a fool out of yourself and making excuses for the Iranians. So I suggest you remove that dirty plunger from your foul little potty mouth wipe the shit of your lips and grow the fuck up.
