Update - Iran's Aggression
by Jack Lee

(Iranian agents capture UK soldiers in the Shatt Al-Arab canal. ) It looks like this is a power play to test the resolve of the UK and USA. It's now been made public that the Iranians were aware that the UK had issued orders over a month ago, if challenged by Iranian forces do not resist. A UK gun ship was standing by and so were US forces, but when orders were requested to fire on the Iranian patrol craft, they were denied.
Now Iran is demanding that the UK admit they were trespassing. Blair says evidence clearly proves they were not trespassing, they were being tracked by a ships GPS system and the rubber boarding boat had it's own GPS system. Iran on the other hand used non-conventional forces assigned to Iran's Mullah's to kidnap the Royal Marines, suggesting this was a plan hatched by Iran's religious faction and not usual government leaders. However, now that the marines are in custody the it's obvious that the Iranian government is determined to make the most of it as part of their ongoing propaganda war with the west.
Given the UK's reluctance to defend their marines, it's likely they will soon be issuing a false admission of trespass and an apology to Iran.
In the latest development, Iran has backed away from the stated release of the lone female soldier today.

Benjamin Netenyahu said it best when he spoke of the Palestinians and other Arabs not respecting us, because essentially it was a contest between two sides. One side has all of the power while the other possess all of the will.
