Whoops, yesterday I posted that the British sailors seized by Iranian forces for allegedly intruding into Iranian waters had been released. However, that is not true. British Prime Minister Tony Blair is stated today that "I want to get it resolved in as easy and diplomatic a way as possible." Neither Blair, or any of the EU it appears, believe that the troops ever entered Iran's territory. Iran is really straining an already poor relationship with the West. It will be interesting to see just how long they keep the sailors and whether or not they try to negotiate some sort of deal for their return.
