"Point 1 - This is one side of the story and I have seen no proof that it is true or an explanation from Iran."

Fine- let me tell you ALL sides: ( not that you will listen)

The IRANIANS stated the position that they captured the British at- which was in Iraqi territory.

The British said that they were in Iraqi territory.

The ship being searched said it was anchoered in Iraqi territory.

The Iraqi fisherman stated that the British were in Iraqi territory.


"Point 2 - Please provide a source that says it is against International law to protect your own territory from foreign gunboats. "

OK, then the Brits, as empowered by the Iraqis, HAD the right to blow away the Iranian gunboats when they came into Iraqi waters????
