None
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Tuesday their naval forces had detained five Britons in the Gulf, the semi-official Fars News Agency reported.
British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said on Monday that five Britons had been detained in Iran and said their racing yacht might have inadvertently strayed into Iranian waters. "The Britons have been arrested by the Revolutionary Guards' naval forces. Confronting foreign forces and detaining them in the Gulf is the Revolutionary Guards' duty," said Ali Reza Tangsiri, a commander of the Guards' naval forces. (Reuters)
