Do you think that if iran dont free the captured british sailors the uk will go to war with iran?

BoyRacer

This is all set up to give us and the Yanks a excuse to attack Iran, it scares me but I reckon we are all secretly building up for the big one. These poor guys are simply pawns in a big game. Their 15 lives will be insignificant when 100'000s die in the coming years. God help us all.

The UK will give them a stern warning.
Then a strong rebuke.
Then call for UN condemnation.
Then a strong "look" from their ambassador, and removal from Tony Blair's ramadan card list.
Then another stern warning.
Then, a very strongly worded statement.
Then, a strongly worded stern statement.
Then a rebuke using a strongly worded statement.

Yes. But not just the UK, the sailors are there under a UN mandate, therefore they are the property of the United Nations thus maybe a multinational response will be needed.

King Felix

No, not the Brits. They planned this out from the beginning. Iran purposely took Brits instead of the Americans. This hostage situation will only enrage the west against iran even more.

think about what would have happend if they caputred american soldiers instead of british ones.

Alex

I would hope so. Don't let it be a "In your face" thing, Give Iran 48 hours to release or we pull the pin

Dharma

I am from the UK (wrexham north wales) my brother is in the RAF but i would not for one minute try and understand how the minds at be work!!

I hope we dont go to war because this seems to be what iran want us to do......... But i really hope we get the sailors out safe and SOON!!

I send all my best wishes to their families and loved ones

Suggest we remove the 7,000 UK troops on the Iran border (Basra) first.

I dont think blair will take us to war over this..
What good will it do HIM as hes on his way out.
Its all about what will make him look good not about gettin our people back

BOYRACER - you are regurgitating shite you have read in the Guardian.

The uk DID NOT set up 15 of THE QUEENS troops to be captured by iranian forces get real

nosdda

Definitely not. Negotiations will continue and the matter will be resolved in a peaceful way. Do not underestimate the strenghth of the Iranian army and its weaponery. They are not desert arabs. How many more British Soldiers have to die.

god that would be a scary thing. america at war in iraq with british support along with afew other countries and britain at war with iran. it dosent bear thinking about. along with all the other wars that are going on around the world at the moment. this world we are living is a truly dangerous place. personally i dont think the english people would be too happy with a british army bogged down in iran like the americans in iraq but hell politicans never listen to its people, so there could be a war yet.

CLIVE H

The Brits want to do a deal. Iran is not listening yet but may come around in time. To be honest about it, the captured RN sailors and marines are 'expendable'. Obviously we do not want them harmed and would prefer they be released asap. If this does not happen then who knows. In any event it is not simply a matter of UK pressing the red button. UK is part of NATO and the Alliance in Iraq. The final leadership is the USA and not UK.

We'll just have to wait and see. One thing for sure is that the Brits have more patience than the Iranians. We do not under estimate the sly conniving nature of Persians.

how can they theyve just lied about weapons of mass destruction ,there were none but they still illegally invaded iraq,now the iranians have caught british spies in their country,if they went to war on another lie im sure you would disown britain

angie

yes and France will back them,because at the moment the people over there are carrying banners demanding the captives should be hanged and they have said they wont release them because Britain has went to the UN for assistance, they are not leaving britian much choice are they really thttp://uk.news.yahoo.com/29032007/140/un-calls-iran-free-sailors.htmlo

sushobhan

they should... for moral and military reasons

Billbob

its a test to see if the British have the balls

CAPTAIN BEAR

Not really, politicians love to negotiate for good deals until the public are so sick of it, the government will then act opposite to what the public wanted. That's Murphy's Law. Since the main reason for going to war
is over the installation of the nuclear plant we should give a final warning and on the due date just bomb the plant away. End of
problem until they start again.

They better not.
US Congress will just apologize and UK will be up s***s creek.

ziba

i bloody well hope not
usa and uk have caused enough trouble and death already!
but it seems the warmongers (bush and blair) want to dominate the world and attack all the middle east!!
peace and NO TO WAR AGAINST IRAN,
stop being soo racist some people on here, why do u think u are above iranians? cos usa and uk are more terrorist than they will EVER BE!

CARL GREEN1

me thinks that this is the start of war with Iran, they are begging for it and I think this time the UN are going to go to the party in a big way, you see its all to do with crack pot religious muslims getting the bomb and supporting terror around the globe, this will escalate all the way and the final outcome will be the destruction of Iran, but I still feel that there might be a stop gap after we have taken all their leaders out to give Iran a choice, war or peace.

David

No chance !

There may be a big international incident and could result in sanctions etc but it will never get to a full blown war.

Ramirez

I would have thought by now that Iran has seen that this little game of politics they have got themselves into has blown up in their faces, using our British marines as pawns in a shallow attempt to get a little room to negotiate the nuclear programme that Iran have running. They should have the decency to hand back our people and make a formal apology to the marines involved, then maybe the rest of the world might begin to see them as reasonable people to deal with instead of terrorists.

Our Man In Bananas

no I don't. They will be released in a week anyway.

And I hope there won't be another war in the middle east, unlike many of the ignorant people on here who advocate violence...

I think these people who suggest hurting innocent people should be ashamed of themselves.

Jacob W

One very common trait of these middle Eastern leaders is the tendency to milk every drop of political advantage out of these type of situations. It would not be in Iran's interest to get there collective butts kicked at this time.

I believe there will be some more dog and pony show for the radicals and ultimately they will return the hostages. But you never know. The other trait these people have is a tendency to over play their hand.

Consider them dead and nuke them off the face of the map.

Captain C

We must vaporize them.

Gizmo

Diplomacy is key, however if that doesn't work then Bomb them sand ******* back to the stone age.
