1 ) BRITISH SPIES
They were British military personel IN UNIFORM, therefore under the Geneva Convention (something Iran is not known for sticking to) can not be classified as spies.
2) IRANIAN TERRITORY
Last I heard if you were 1.7km on the correct side of a border, which is the location taken from satellite imagery, you are NOT in another countries territory.
Chain of events
a) Ship boarded for search
b) Iran takes sailors/marines hostage
c) Iran gives position of ship when hostages taken as 1.7km INSIDE IRAQI TERRITORY
d) Iran changes mind, and gives another position NOW 300m INSIDE IRANIAN TERRITORY
e) GPS and Satellite evidence proves ship was in IRAQI waters when hostages taken
3) WHAT SHOULD THEY DO
Release the ones they are still holding and offer an official appology

There is no doubt about the location. On Sunday, the Iranians released the coordinates of the location the hostages were taken. It was 1.7 miles inside Iraqi waters. They amended this on Tuesday, moving it 2 miles East into Iranian waters but the cat was out of he bag, they were in Iraqi waters. Second, the Indian merchantman that had been stopped by the sailors has stated they were in Iraqi waters. The Iraqi fishermen have said they were in Iraqi waters. So, everyone says they were in Iraqi waters, even the Iranians initially, so why should there be any doubt?
Only those who ignore facts can have a different opinion. The Iranians are stirring it up, their actions actually constitute a declaration of war. So, the responsibility of anything that happens is on their shoulders and those who encourage them with their lies.
As to what they should is pray. They are in deep, even the Russians are tired of them.

Release the SAILORS who arent spies or get ready for the boom. They really need to get rid of that insane asylum escapee they have for a "president".
