A Brief look at British Violations of Iranian Territory
IRNA
Friday, March 30, 2007
The British media and officials have launched a wave of propaganda campaign against Iran immediately after Iranian border guards arrested British marines who had violated Iranian territorial waters on March 23.
Regardless of the GPS surveys monitored by Iran and offered to the British government, they insist that the British navy has not violated Iranian waters.
Under the current circumstances, the US officials and media have rushed to support the British officials in their insistence that they had not violated Iranian territorial waters in order to put pressure on Iran.
The British insistence on non-violation comes when both the US and UK military forces have violated Iranian territory on land, at sea and in the air and Iran has compiled documents to prove such trespasses.
British marine Mrs. Faye Turney has acknowledged to the trespass and made an apology for it.
Let's have a brief look at violations of Iranian territory by the British armed forces:
1. British unmanned reconnaissance plane RPV violated Iranian airspace in northeastern Abadan in June 2004 and was hit by Iranian anti-aircraft guns. RPV debris is available.
2. At 11 O'clock local time on June 22, 2004, three British speed boats with eight navy personnel on board trespassed Iranian borders and were arrested by Iranian coast guards.
3. At 21:30 local time on November 1, 2006, two British Black awks (choppers) from Royal Navy hovered at the height of 150 meters at 47,700-17,400 coordinates on Khorramshahr map (Pole-No: new bridge) violating Iranian airspace and they entered Iraqi territory through 62,500-15,500 coordinates after 10 minutes.
4. On January 27, 2007 a British helicopter flew over mouth of Arvandrud (Arvand river) and violated Iran's airspace and they left the area after a warning from Iranian coast guards.
5. Three British Navy boats entered Khor Mousa mouth in Iranian territorial waters on February 28, 2007.
The sixth was trespass of two British Navy boats with 15 marines on board into Iranian territorial waters at Arvandrud which led to their arrest by Iranian coast guards.

Dang Anthony, your blogs rock!
Ole Blair was sputtering with outrage and embarrassment when the Iranians showed soldiers chowing down, smoking and looking healthy.
CBS reported that Iranian President (sorry forget that name) was involved with the hostages in the 80s, I thought that was cleared up..he is not that person? The truth needs to come out about Daddy Gerbil's involvement in that whole mess, heck his involvement in all evil over the years.
Have you heard of "Rods from God" before?

I've never seen this information before either.
I started a blog too, but I am terrible at it. I like searching for information myself. Keep up the good work on yours. If you know anything about those links/info please visit my blog or heck, you can write on it.
Thanks for your comment, teak. I got a nice one from Alooney, too, on the wordpress website, Friends of the American Revolution. You'll find a link to this on my blogsite if you haven't already visted it.
With regard to blogging, I've had a lot of help from my friends, people like yourself whom I have never met and who are known to me only by their "username" through the "Patrick Fitzgerald website.
thirdgeneration chicago told me how to create links and S-Q told me how to post video clips from YouTube and Google.
With regards to senior bush activities concerning the US hostages in Teheran in 78 and 79, I'm aware of the allegations made that he negotiated with the Iranians for them not to release the hostages until reagan was elected, and sold weapons to them, the proceeds of which were then used to finance the Contras.
That the hostages were released on the very day that reagan was sworn in is in itself very suspicious.
A parallel situatio occurred earlier in the run up to the 1968 presidential elections. Christopher Hitchens (among others) in his book, The Trial of Henry Kissinger, alleges that Nixon let it be known to the S. Vietmanese ambassador that if elected he would secure peace on more favorable terms to the S. Vietnamese than those which johnson was offering.
So the S. Vietnamese stalled on the S. Vietnamese negotiations, the war con tinued and the Democrats poipularity plummeted. Nixon won and eventually secured peace, but not on the terms he had orginally offered, and at the cost of many more US and Vietnamese lives.
"Kissinger must now surely sue" was the comment of one reviewer of this book. To this day, Kissinger never has.
Nixon's actions (negotiating with the enemy) were treasonable.
As you are probably aware, I'm a keen cook, and about a year ago, I developed an interest in Vietnamese cookery. It's such a pity that for manyb people, the word Vietnam is associated with a war and not with a fascinating culture.
