I'm not saying that the Iranians are correct on where the British were but that what is considered "Iraqi" or "Iranian" waters has never been determined between Iraq and Iran. The first coordinates provided by the Iranians are inside what Britain has marked to be "Iraqi" waters. The second are in what the British consider "Iranian" waters. There is no such line dividing Iraqi waters from Iranian.
If the contention by Iran is correct, that they believe that the British have trespassed into what "they" consider to be Iranian waters on six previous occasions, then it is likely when they decided to take action that there wasn't too much consideration on where the British were exactly on that occasion, just that they would capture them.
Did you not understand the article????
Iran said that boat was captured at point A. The Brits and the Iraqis confirm that point A is in Iraqi territory. The Iranians then say, we actually didn't mean point A, we meant point B.
How credible are they after changing their alleged coordinates to fit their story after their first set of coordinates they provided showed that they were actually in Iraqi territory??? DOH!!!!!!
