I'd be interested to know what you based this on?
The evidence I have sen suggests they were not in Iranian waters, were kidnapped, held hostage, paraded on television and letters were published espousing views unlikley to be held by them, and then we got a ticking off from their President for allowing mothers in our armed forces.

I can't see the British Govt acting in the same way if we happened to find 15 Iranians in a dirigible off the Isle of Wight.
