British troops seized by Iranian Revolutionary Guard

i believe there are amiguities surrounding the 'ownership' of the waterway in question. I have a feeling this will end with Iran maintaining there waterways were breached, Britain denying it, and no way for either side to convince Iran will let the troops go, unharmed, with no concessions made by Britain or America. I suspect that this was Irans intention from the outset, and they will let them go as a B.S. 'show of good faith' a powerplay of sorts to show the internaitonal community that they can be reasonable, and will play ball.

Syria does this type of thing from time to time. They will have a phony 'terrorist bust' where they kill some alleged al quaeda members to prove they can be an ally in the war on terror. It is realy a ploy to improve ones position in negotiations. sometime down the line iran will point to the time they released 15 soldiers who incurred on their waterways and asked for nothing in return.
