Iran Continues To Hold British Sailors

Iran continues to hold British sailors seized days ago from the long-disputed waters near Iraq and Iran. Iran says that the sailors are in good health and being treated humanely. British PM Tony Blair is still demanding their release and stated that if they are not let go soon the dispute "will move into a different phase." Blair did not elaborate on what this new phase would be, but some speculate it means a more public demand for the sailors release. Meanwhile in Iran, some are saying that the sailors should be tried for treason. Iranian officials have not given much indication as to what they plan to do with the sailors, only that there is an ongoing investigation into the matter.
