Capt. Chris Air & Lt. Felix Carman - Iran Capture 'Media Stunt'

We were at all times in Iraq Waters we never entered Iran Waters

The group had been presented with two options, said Lt. Carman: to admit having strayed into Iranian waters or face up to seven years in prison in Iran.

They said it all seemed to be an Iran Media Stunt for propaganda purposes to be conveyed to the Iranian and International community

those that support Iran in this forum will never come into this thread....however, those of us with common sense have known that this was a PR stunt the whole time...The pres of Iran wants to look like the good guy by "pardoning" the sailors....even though Iran is the one at fault.

 

The captain Air in charge of the 15 marines detained in Iran has said they were gathering intelligence on the Iranians.

Sky News went on patrol with Captain Chris Air and his team in Iraqi waters close to the area where they were arrested - just five days before the crisis began.

We withheld the interview until now so it would not jeopardise their safety.

You are absolutely right!
Iran is the one at fault: They allowed the sailors go home!
They will never repeat this mistake.

Ishaq.

 

The two officers just confirmed what we already knew - puppet show for the benefit of the Arabic media. I hope they are reserved in any further comments they make - if there's a reoccurence of this stunt we don't want Iran to harbour a grudge.

 

yep, they confirm that they were on spy mission

 

Was there ever any doubt? It was pretty obvious this was a farce. The problem is, in most of the worlds eyes (specifically muslim and moonbat) Iran came out on top.

Way to play to the camera/media. Good job, alahamajihad.

The only thing that bothered me about this incident is that their ship did not provide cover and begin firing immediately. The damage is done. I think Iran and their Jihadist Terrorist President won this round.

 

Since when is gathering intelligence a crime....let me point out something to you in the article:

 

It seems that the depth of the waters prevented the cover ship getting closer to the incident location, as the waters were too shallow for the cover ship to enter.

 

and capturing the guys spying on you is crime?

what you are pointing shows you have the head without mind inside. its stating that they were clsoe to that place inisde iraq...right but thats when skynews reporter was with them 5 days before. it is not showing that they were not in irani waters while the incident happened...

 

Perhaps, but was the water too shallow to launch a few shots across the bow of the Iranian ships?

Either way, I am glad they are back. However, in the court of public opinion, Iran comes out like a shiny new penny or pence.

 

Ummm, they were probably collecting the license plate numbers off Iranian dows
Not spying, just carrying out their lawful duties in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1723. I know international law matters not to Iran, but we still have to try.

 

We need to gather some intelligence to give to you mate.

 

I bet you're the life and soul of the party aren't you?
As I said before to your fellow countryman Edz the entire western world seems to believe the UK version of events - unsurprising because believe it or not, on the whole, the UK is a pretty well behaved country that lives up to it's obligations under international law and common decency. Iran on the otherhand.... you get the idea.

 

Even iran said that the british were in Iraqi waters....then they changed their story...the first coordinates Iran gave was in Iraqi waters....so yes, Iran was at fault.

 

yes, like Invasion in Iraq with the support of UN....lol....

 

for how long you have decided to remain at 16 ?

grow up boy....

 

That's right - just like that. You know who the UN are do you?

 

That was never a spy mission. Observing and spying is quite different and of course observing activities in that region is an obligation for everyone under the UN mandate, especially to obeserve Iranianian activities.

While they were observing they never entered iranian waters. The only time they entered iranian waters was when they were forced at gunpoint.

 

lol!!! A typical lib...you can't argue the facts, so you look at my screen name and assume I am 16!!! lmfao!!!

Just like gworld and ags...
