“The circumstances surrounding the capture of those Navy personnel are still unclear,” said Ervin Chering, a British political scientist. “We can only speculate whether they really crossed the border. Tehran took full advantage of the incident. The Iranian used it for spreading the message far and wide: Britain and the U.S. are simply helpless. Those pictures speak volumes – I mean the TV broadcasts of the British soldiers shown humbly giving thanks to the Iranian president for setting them free. In fact, it’s the second time when the British military were taken captive by the Iranians. The Iranians staged a phony execution three years ago. They put the captured British sailors up against the wall and fired blanks into their heads,” Chering said.

In the meantime, prospects for Iran do not look as bright as they seem at a glance. For instance, U.S. aircraft carrier Nimitz set sail for the Persian Gulf about a week after the British sailors were detained by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards. According to official reports, the Nimitz was supposed to relieve the Dwight Eisenhower, a U.S. aircraft carrier on duty in the Gulf. The Iranians eventually freed the captives yet both the Dwight Eisenhower and the Nimitz are still in the Gulf. Tens of warships and hundreds of military aircraft are currently positioned in the region. In view of the above, even the most cautious experts suggest that U.S. Armed Forces has completed preparations for delivering air strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities. A pretext is the only thing required for launching the attack.
“A pretext is not a problem,” said Shahpur Kaberi, the Iranian opposition politician based in Paris. “It’s obvious the British sailors had been given specific orders to cross Iran’s sea border to gauge the reaction of the Iranians. That’s why the fifteen well-trained and armed members of the British Royal Navy didn’t put up any resistance at the time of their capture. Consequently, the whole world could see that Iran was hell-bent on playing with fire without giving slightest consideration to possible consequences. The Iranians are acting on the premise that they’ve already won the war. Perhaps the sailors will be given orders to use their weapons when they’re out on a similar mission next time. In times like these, a drop of blood shed in another accident would be more than enough for sending the bombers,” Kaberi said.
“The war will break out – that’s the only thing I can tell you”
