I'd much rather have seen that Iranian ship blown out of the water.

= all hell brakes loose in Iran/Iraq etc (again)
what proof is there that the UK troops were in international waters? AIUI UK held GPS data.
So esentially our word vs Iranians.
Iran says "of course we know where our [censored] boundaries are - then they attack us as well !!!! WAR"
Unless Iran really actually wants war then the hostages will get released in time and they'll back down (what other real choice do they have?)
If HMS Cornwall "puts the fear of God" into the Iranian captors there's a good chance some hostages die anyway - AND a whole new war kicks off which is good for noone - let the Iranians pontificate and posture and take hostages if it means we don't go to war.
