Question

Please be honest and answer this question without taking any sides.
Why does western medi call this hostage instead of arrest?
Just answer honestly. Thanks you.

Answer 1

They are in Iraq. Do not believe Rosie.

Answer 2

Apparently Tony Blair's claim that the sailors were outside Iranian waters was based on illegitimate territorial boundaries drawn up by...drum roll please....THE BRITISH! The fact of the matter is the waters are disputed, and the sailors shouldn't have been there in the first place over such a paltry matter as customs evasion. The US and the UK are trying to convince us that Iran is the provocateur, when in fact the US has been itching for a casus belli with Iran that will garner public support for an attack.

Answer 3

I wager they admitted to the full difficulty and attempting to initiate a war. Iran merely used a touch prolonged status and some water boarding and the sailors were implicated in 9/11

Answer 4

You asked
"Where exactly were 15 British Sailors? Iraq or Iran water?"

They were in Iraqi waters, however Iran is laying claim to those waters. GPS grids prove they were not in Iranian waters.

You asked
"Why does western medi call this hostage instead of arrest?"

Because they were taken illegally, Iranian forces crossed into Iraqi waters and abducted UK military personnel. Iran also is displaying them on Iranian state run TV much in the same way a terrorist organization would, they are also making them make false statements while under duress much in the same way a terrorist organization would.

Answer 5

You are all rednecks. It was Iran waters. What if an iranian vessel was caught cruising around california beaches. Wouldnt the american government arrest them? But that wont happen because you are thousands of miles away in your ranch or whatever and you shout "bomb them" as if its a Hollywood film starring Chuck Norris.

Answer 6

The first location put the British in Iraqi waters. Iran then changed the location to Iranian waters. Arabs are known to take hostages for negotiations. Muslims might have holding cells they call prisons, but Muslim law has swift trials and punishment.

Answer 7

The Iranians contend it was there waters,they arrested them, they will let them go in two weeks after letting people know that they have rights .those waters have been in contention for a while, there making a statement that this is there territory is all there doing,.they haven't started a war in hundreds of years,

Answer 8

They were in Iraqi waters. Regardless, simply straying into another countries waters is no reason to take the people hostage. If this happened in the US, those sailors would have been simply escorted out of our terrtory by the coast guard. We would not take someone prisoner over something to stupid.

Answer 9

27 years ago the Iranians illegally kidnapped americans. And nothing happened to them. They are kidnapping british military. And nothing will happen to them again.

The president of Iran was involved with both kidnappings.

Answer 10

They were in Iraqi waters that Iran has tried in the past to annex.

Answer 11

it doesnt matter if they were in the middle of a tehran street....bomb iran!!!!!!!!!!! we supposedly have no military action against iran...and iran proclaims to want to "help" resolve the iraq situation, so there should be no hostage taking or kidnapping....since there has been, it shows irans true policy of intervening and meddling in iraq, in order to try and make itself seem as a substantial player in the middle east....bomb iran..!!!!!!!!!!!
