re. The 15 Royal Navy personnel recently taken into custody by the Iranian Govt. for supposed border violations, anyone got any ideas what the British Govt. can do to get them released ? seems to me any type of rescue attempt is out of the question since they are probably being held in 15 different locations around Tehran .
One thing puzzling me is why no action was taken by the crew of the 'mother' ship HMS Cornwall , seems to me a frigate should have been well enough equiped and armed to intervene when the Iranian gunboats arrived on the scene .
