Like they would start bombing iran after the video of captives smiling and behaving in a rational way was shown to the public. It's would be a stupid PR move on the us's part and they'd be violating the geneva convention laws for having a weak justifcation. Iran played a dangerous game in capturing these sailors but they know the US want so badly to invade Iran and they clearly played smart in making the west look weak. If iran truly wanted war with the west and commit suicide, they would have already sent a missile to israel or blow up one of the naval ships during the wargames, in which the us is hoping they would do.
You know I have absolutely no recollection of anyone making deals to trade in the brits for the iranian captives during the crisis so zebari must be telling the truth when he said there's no connection. Even the us and brit military hadn't any idea of the meeting until after it was announced iran was going to release the 15 sailors. Have you ever even once considered the possibility that iranians may be telling the truth at all? Everything to you is one sided.
