Yahoo News: Britain demands Iran free seized sailors

Iran's hardline Revolutionary Guards captured 15 British sailors and marines at gunpoint Friday in the Persian Gulf — a provocative move coming during heightened tensions between the West and Iran.
Iran's Foreign Ministry insisted the Britons were operating in Iranian waters and would be held "for further investigation," Iranian state television said.
A
U.S. Navy official in Bahrain, Cmdr. Kevin Aandahl, said Iran's Revolutionary Guard naval forces were responsible and had broadcast a brief radio message saying the British party was not harmed...
The incident occurred as the U.N. Security Council debates expanding sanctions against Iran seeking to force Tehran to suspend uranium enrichment. The U.S. and other nations suspect Iran is trying to produce nuclear weapons. Iran denies that and insists it won't halt the program.
Iran's leaders also have denied allegations by the U.S., Britain and others that Iranians are arming Shiite Muslim militias in Iraq.
Hours before the seizure of the Royal Navy team, British Lt. Col. Justin Maciejewski told BBC Radio 4's "Today" program from the Iraqi city of Basra that Iranians provided weapons and money to militants who are attacking British troops in southern Iraq.
The U.S. military has leveled similar charges, saying Iranians send arms to Iraqi extremists, including sophisticated roadside bombs.


This week, two commanders of an Iraqi Shiite militia told The Associated Press in Baghdad that hundreds of Iraqi Shiites had crossed into Iran for training by the elite Quds force, a branch of Iran's Revolutionary Guard thought to have trained Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon.


Why is Iran apparently less troubled vis-à-vis giving the US/UK Casus belli than the leftists/islamists/communists who accuse those who condemn Iran on egregious violation of human rights basis?

Whenever anyone displays the slightest of objection in regards to, a woman being stoned to death in Iran, a scholar jailed , a teacher or a worker tortured and has his tongue cut out (Ossanlou, the head of the Bus Workers Union) and summarily hanged or executed, people on the left censure those raising objections with the stale response that this is helping Neocons and “the Zionists” by providing them more red herring to go to war with Iran. The dispute is that this type of condemnation helps to "vilify" Iran in laying the groundwork for war.

Doesn't it seem that the "leader" and his errand boy,Ahmadinejad,want a war in order to maintain their increasing volatile and eroding hold on power. Either war or a long stand off with a humiliated US and Britain will strengthen their position and shore up more support at home. After all, the errand boy, Ahmadinejad, was one of the Revolutionary Guards who might have been involved (directly or indirectly) in holding the US Embassy staff hostage. He remembers how that incident was responsible for the jihadist (khomeinists junata) ascendany to grab the power and hijack the revolution.

If objecting the stoning to death of women and other horrendous human rights violations in Iran are "providing an excuse", what the hell is taking British sailors prisoner and training Iraqi militias then?
