Comments on: Iran Seizure of UK Personnel https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/03/26/iran-seizure-of-uk-personnel/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Tue, 27 Mar 2007 13:25:46 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/03/26/iran-seizure-of-uk-personnel/comment-page-1/#comment-24875 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 13:25:46 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2007/03/26/iran-seizure-of-uk-personnel/#comment-24875 At this point, it’s an struggle within the Iranian government to determine what to do. I would assume that the Iranians want the people who were picked up in Iraq to be released, but that’s going to take time and some US cooperation.

At least the UK government can and will talk. The current US government would use it as an excuse to start something.

Apart from trespass I can’t see what Iran would achieve from putting them on trial.They make pretty poor leverage to further support against nuclear sanctions…

I daresay some agreement will be made where they are swapped for some Iranians held somewhere else. Not a great solution but it’s not a casus belli
