Given a long history of false casus belli, including the non-incident in the Gulf of Tonkin, the non-WMD, the self-sunk Maine, US blood in then-Mexican territory, the un-Germans in Saint Domingue, the un-Soviets in Nicaragua, the supposedly threatened medical students in big mean Grenada, etc; the lack of information given regarding the incident (the only account comes from a fisherman who did not witness the event, the UK will not release last known coordinates of the sailors' location, no detailed maps have been released indicating where the disputed border is in relation to the sailors, the suspicious fact that the incident occurred when no Iranian officials could be reached because of the new year celebrations); and the well known interests of the US/UK administrations to regain control of Iran after the revolution, well given all these factors... does anyone know a good reason why we should not just believe Tehran and wait for them to act according to international law?

Well the problem is that we don't know how much we can trust any of them...
Unfortunately we don't have enough information about the incident and of course each part supports what it's in its best interest...If those Brits were in Iranian waters (deliberated or not) of course they would never admit it,at least not officially...and so would the Iranians...

Trust the government, NO! Trust the media, NO! The British and American government probably gave those solidiers a map knowing they'd drift into Iran to kick off WW3.

I hate to spoil you day, but all the things you mentioned were real. The WMD's were belived to be their, by Bush, Blair, Putin, Chereck, as well as a mysterious wagon train into Syria justprior to the invasion. These caputre of Britions in Non Iranian waters is an old trick they do, they did it with America in 1976 and held them 4 years and wer released on the day Ronald Reagan to the oath. Iran is adangerous outlaw nation taht needs to be delt with now

You poor misled person. You must read the New York Times! One of Saddam's top Generals has repeatedly proven the existence of WMD's with documentation. We have seen him kill 200,000+ of his own people using them.
Trust Tehran? Only if you could trust going to sleep with a viper in your bed.

Only a very unique individual would believe Iran before they would a democratic nation.

However, if you learn to read unbiased news on the net you will know the Brits were captured.
