"Storbritannias regjering legger nå fram fotografier som beviser at de 15 britiske marinegastene befant seg i irakisk, og ikke iransk, farvann da de ble geleidet inn i Iran. Det avslører GPS-data fra området, melder Reuters.

 

- GPS viser at båten ble tatt 1.7 nautiske mil innen Irakisk farvann, sier en talsmann for britiske myndigheter på onsdag."

 

Hva nå, Iran?

 

Nå, et drøyt år senere, kommer denne rapporten :

 

"Fifteen British sailors and Marines were seized by Iran in internationally disputed waters and not in Iraq’s maritime territory as Parliament was told, according to new official documents released to The Times.

 

The Britons were seized because the US-led coalition designated a sea boundary for Iran’s territorial waters without telling the Iranians where it was, internal Ministry of Defence briefing papers reveal.

 

Documents released under the Freedom of Information Act detail for the first time the blunders last spring that led to what an all-party committee of MPs came to describe as a “national embarrassment”. "
