Just have to wait and see what proof the Iranians present to the UN this week that the sailors were in Iranian waters - they say they have it - of course that waterway has had a border dispute as to where Iraq and Iran border actually is for years - long before this war.
If the British were indeed in the Iranian territorial waters then they have every right to arrest them - just as the US does if someone does something within the 12 mile limit we impose around our country - Maritime law is pretty cut and dry and if Iran has the proof they will show it - if not - they were just lobbying for some weakness in the European coalition at the UN prior to the sanctions vote that backfired on them - no big deal - they just will come out and say they had a navigational error and release them without losing face. If they have the proof then they will detain them and have a trial - no big deal.
