  • Iran warns of tough action against British sailors

    TEHRAN: Tehran warned on Tuesday that it will take strong action against five detained British sailors if it is proven they had ``bad intentions''
    when their racing yacht entered Iran's Persian Gulf waters and was seized.

    The detention could heighten tensions between Iran and major world powers, including Britain, that are demanding a halt to Tehran's controversial nuclear program.

    London rushed to keep the incident from getting tangled up in politics — wary of how political tensions have snarled attempts to free three Americans arrested by Iran this summer after they strayed across the border from Iraq, reportedly by accident during a hike.

    British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said ``there is certainly no question of any malicious intent on the part of these five young people.''

    Britain says the 60-foot yacht, called Kingdom of Bahrain, drifted inadvertently into Iranian waters while en route from Bahrain to a race off Dubai when Iranian forces stopped it Wednesday.
