Britain should stop playing the innocent victim. Anybody that has any sense of British history in the region knows that he has provoked this incident. Iran is very sensitive about that particular waterway and Blair knows it. British sailors were captured by in Iran in 2004 in Shaat al-arab. The British know that Saddam went to war with Iran because of that waterway.

Blair referred to a bogus map and bogus boundaries. Those boundaries do not exist! Saddam tore up the agreement that Iran and Iraq once had. There are no internationally recognized boundaries between Iran and Iraq at this time.

The Brits created an international incident as an excuse to invade Iran. Luckily the U.N. and the E.U did not fall for Tony's act. Hopefully, the world will tell Blair to admit his error and the hostages will be returned.
