Yes, I'm sure this will end well. Iran is just trying to deflect attention away from their nuclear program or use these sailors as negotiation tools for that program. Unfortunately, I don't think that'll work. First off, British Prime Minister Tony Blair is already stating that they weren't in Iranian waters. He's also stated that this incident is "very serious." I have no doubt that if push comes to shove, that the British will forcefully return the sailors back home. Hopefully, for everyone involved, Iran will come to their senses and return the soldiers and their equipment.
You can bet your ass that they wouldn't have tried this against American sailors though. They know that we're just itching to pop a couple cruise missiles at them for their supporting the insurgency. So, maybe someone within the Iranian government will say something and they will peacefully return the men.
If not, you can expect people to die.
