I’ve little sympathy for the five British yachtsmen who entered Iranian waters. They are lucky to have been released from Iran within a few days.
If five Iranians (or Afghans, or Iraqis) were innocently sailing a boat in the English Channel, I’m sure they would be arrested and subjected to very thorough investigation. I doubt they would be quickly released.
