"By Terri Judd, aboard HMS Cornwall in the Persian Gulf
Published: 24 March 2007

In the black of night, our patrol boat skimmed across the Shatt al-Arab waterway, looking out for intruders on the disputed waters.

I was accompanying a Royal Marine patrol as it cruised Iraqi waters looking for suicide bombers trying to attack the two oil platforms that export 90 per cent of the country's oil. The patrol was also hunting smugglers bringing arms and contraband into the country.

Until this point, our only contact with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards had been polite, but stiff, contacts over the radio. On Thursday, when HMS Cornwall spotted an Iranian ship on the Iraqi side of the waterway, she approached to warn them off. The Iranians slunk into the blackness without demur.

All changed dramatically yesterday morning when 15 Royal Marines and Navy personnel, including one woman, approached a JAPANESE merchant ship suspected of smuggling second-hand cars into the country without paying tax. Suddenly, their inflatables were surrounded by boats of the Revolutionary Guards and they were overpowered and taken into Iranian national waters."

An Iranian ship dianavan?? Above is an eyewitness account.

The following quote lifted directly from your post speaks volumes about you dianavan:

"Doesn't that just burn you, teribus, when those sand niggers outsmart you and end up looking like the cat that just ate the mouse?"

You poor bitter little thing you.
