Britain will not be limited to diplomacy for seamen rescue
The prime minister of the Great Britain Tony Blair has declared that in the case of seamen release, seized by Iran, he relies on diplomacy. But he noted, that his country will pass to “other phase” if diplomacy does not help.
“Now we try to promote the matter through the diplomatic channels and force the Iranian government to understand, that these people should be released, as for their detention there are no justifications “, said the head of the British government in the interview to GMTV. Blair has expressed the hope that they will manage to convince Iranians in necessity to release British seamen.
Blair has not explained the meaning of “other phase”, however has told once again, that he cannot bear with the situation when the citizens of the British Queen are imprisoned.
In the meantime Iranians do not disclose a place of detention, declaring only, that all they are treated well and the lady, who was among the arrested militaries, has full protection.
It was informed earlier that 15 British were arrested on March, 23 by Iranians on border with Iraq. They may be indicted for illegal border crossing and espionage.
