Iran TV Shows Spliced Clips of Capture of UK Sailors

From Breitbart - "Iran TV Shows Clip of Britons' Arrest"

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iranian state television on Thursday broadcast a few seconds of footage it said was of the operation that seized the 15 British soldiers in Iranian territorial waters.

In the five-seconds long footage, gunshots were heard and a helicopter is shown hovering above inflatable boats in choppy seas. Iranian guard boats are shown cruising around while a couple of Iranian guardsmen shoot into the air. Then, some of the British sailors—including the captured British woman, Leading Seaman Faye Turney—appear seated in a boat with an Iranian flag, presumably after their capture.

Iran also now is demanding UK withdrwal from Iraq - after UK already announced its withdrawal. They are demonstrating their strategy of making the withdrawal as painful as possible. Something the United States needs to ponder as the Democrat controlled Congress debates unilateral withdrawal.
