Author Topic: Iran ‘to try Britons for espionage’ (Read 6637 times)

240 is Back · « **on:** March 25, 2007, 12:04:44 AM »

FIFTEEN British sailors and marines arrested by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards off the coast of Iraq may be charged with spying.

A website run by associates of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, reported last night that the Britons would be put before a court and indicted.

Referring to them as “insurgents”, the site concluded: “If it is proven that they deliberately entered Iranian territory, they will be charged with espionage. If that is proven, they can expect a very serious penalty since according to Iranian law, espionage is one of the most serious offences.”

The warning followed claims by Iranian officials that the British navy personnel had been taken to Tehran, the capital, to explain their “aggressive action” in entering Iranian waters. British officials insist the servicemen were in Iraqi waters when they were held.

Wait Rob, I am still looking for the conspiracy theory here. On another note maybe you should give these Iranians a map.

Yes, it is. I hadn't seen you post anything here lately not relating to a CT. The Iranians need a map because the sailors were picked up off the coast or Iraq, not Iran. Saddam tried this b.s. before with our planes flying in what he claimed was his airspace, but wasn't.

You should pay better attention. I post daily on daily political topics.

And your use of the "CT" line... You do know that by the official story, 9/11 involved 19 men. Any crime involving more than ONE man is a conspiracy, as they are conspiring, which requires at least two.

So please, if you're gonna be wrong about my posts, at least understand use the word "conspiracy" correctly. I am a skeptic of the official story.

See, you still can't get off the 9/11 thing. You have really gone off th deep end. Maybe you are not getting enough fiber?

There's a simple solution.

If I was the priminister, I would now say to Iran: "You have 10 minutes to release them alive otherwise we will strike you immediately and destroy every part of your economic infrastructure."

Problem solved.

In 2004 8 marines were held for 3 days for entering Iranian waters, you thing the same thing can be said for the 15? Rescue mission is out of the question. Iran takes every chance they can get tot grab another country by it's balls.

Here's the CT right here.

What I find interesting is why Bush is speaking about British soldiers? ...would that be up to Blair?

BTW 0 Does the fact that these guys admitted to being in Iranian waters make any difference?

...or is the invasion still on? only 2 more days... what say you 240?

They admitted when in iranian custody...

I find it quite a specticle that you believe everything a tyranic state has to say, but when it comes to Blair, he position just doesn't cut the mustard.

Are you kidding me? All Bush & Blair have done is "cut the mustard" ...and it STINKS! peeee-eeew!

OzmO · « **Reply #13 on:** March 26, 2007, 01:33:26 PM »

Iran cannot take them into custody and admit they weren't in there territorial waters and win politically. So it only makes sense they clima they were in violation.

All this is, is a BIG political move on Iran's part with them defying the west.

Even if they were....so what? That doesn't make them spies, just bad map readers. they were doing their job, searching vessels.

I think this is diliberate on England's part to try and start something with that country for its natural resources. Of course the US and Blair jointly want tensions with Iran to escalate to point of war, but the only thing stopping it is the people.

No one knows who to believe. I hope those soliders are released and tensions don't jump to the point of war.

Let's hope the Iranians treat their detainees better than we treat ours.

Gimme a break..have u read anything about how Arabs treat prisoners. These guys won't be beaten because they will be given back at some point soon. If we were at war they would be tortured mercilessly and then shot. I fail to see how u find your own country the bad guy time and time again. please move soon.....

I was drinking with a few brits I ran into this saturday and about this they said...

"You know what caused all this, right?"

"What?"

"They let the woman drive."

Cavalier22 · « **Reply #20 on:** March 26, 2007, 08:12:52 PM »

In all seriousness, what happened to the proud British Navy?

Well, whether striking them would be justified or not...

Destroying their economic infrastructure creates a power vacuum. China and Russia jsut signed a buddy deal with Iran, so they would quickly clean up the oil and we'd be in worse shape than ever.

(personally, at this point, I see US oil domination is the goal and I don't care anymore. If they want it to happen, it's gonna happen. Our votes don't affect it, so I am not going to stress it).

I have to think Camp Gitmo and torture admissions can't HELP their odds.

Thanks for clearing that up, that means first I would do simultaneous nuclear strikes on the economic hearts of both Russia and China, then continue onto Iran after that

Are you serious?

Were you not aware that Britain is already involved in another war?
