U.k. Sailors

If you can understand what the Iranian officer is saying in Farsi, is there anything you can glean from his words?

Are the five pink/red boxes he points to the alleged incursions into Iranian waters, or are they something else?

It looks like the red flag (at 52 seconds) designates where the UK sailors were captured. If so, the Iranian map is basically showing that they were almost exactly on the border.

Its nothing spectacular, he's just pointing out the different points, "this is where... this is where" and doesn't say nothing really but I'm going to ask my sister if she's got more videos, cause this is just a very short clip and if the Iranians been showing it on TV for several days, I'm sure that there's more videos.

As you can see [and the man in the video says and points out] the Iranians have drawn a line as to where they believe the boarder is, that is greatly disputed though [just as the britians have drawn a line] and it appears to the outside that there's an official line but that's greatly disputed.

I'm pretty tired [it's 2:35 AM here], but tomorrow I'll try and post more indepth about this particular video.

It looks like Iran may be preparing to release the 15 British sailors.

Some snippits:[quote]British sailors and marines freed by Iran said Friday they were blindfolded, isolated in cold stone cells and tricked into fearing execution while being coerced into falsely saying they had entered Iranian waters.

They said there was no doubt the 15 crew members were in Iraq's territorial waters when they were seized by heavily armed boats of Iran's Revolutionary Guard. They also said their jailers had singled out the only woman among the captives for use in propaganda.

"At some points I did have fears that we would not survive," Operator Maintainer Arthur Batchelor, 20, the youngest sailor among the captives, told The Associated Press in an interview.

Speaking at the news conference with five colleagues, the boat team's commander, Royal Navy Lt. Felix Carman, said the prisoners were harshly interrogated during 13 days in custody and slept in stone cells on piles of blankets.

"All of us were kept in isolation. We were interrogated most nights and presented with two options: If we admitted that we'd strayed, we'd be on a plane to (Britain) pretty soon. If we didn't, we faced up to seven years in prison," he said.

"We had a blindfold and plastic cuffs, hands behind our backs, heads against the wall. ... There were weapons cocking," Tindell told British Broadcasting Corp. radio. "Someone said, I quote: 'Lads, lads, I think we're going to get executed.' ... Someone was sick and as far as I was concerned he had just had his throat cut."[/quote]

so why did they then eventually put ahmadinejad in a good light? Something seems wrong here...
