- How did these servicemen allow themselves to be detained in the first instance?
- Were they totally unaware of what was happening around them?
- How can you miss the presence of five hostile patrol boats in your area?
- Why were these servicemen inadequately armed to defend themselves if they were only carrying sidearms as reported?
- HMS Cornwall must have been aware of the Iranian patrol boats in the area and surely must have been tracking their positions. Why did HMS Cornwall fail to respond to the threat as soon as it became apparent and at least provide some air cover until further assistance was possible?
- Were these servicemen in radio contact with HMS Cornwall and did HMS Cornwall alert them to possibility of Iranian interference?
- Was the dhow that was being searched for smuggled vehicles planted by Iranian security forces to enable this chain of events to take place, and were British forces reacting to a tip-off when the dhow was boarded?
- Iran is currently subject to UN resolution with regard to its nuclear enrichment program. Surely a cross-border raid to capture foreign servicemen to use as bargaining chips must constitute an Act of War and should be treated as such?
Would anybody from the MOD or the Home Office care to answer some of these questions or are we all to stupid to be told the truth?
