British yachtsmen held for a week freed by Iran
The crew were on their way to take part in the Dubai-Muscat yacht race
Five British yachtsmen held by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard for a week have been freed, the UK Foreign Office has confirmed.
They are said to have drifted into Iranian waters mistakenly while sailing from Bahrain to Dubai for a race.
Iranian radio said they had been freed at 0730 local time (0400 GMT). It is thought they were held on Siri island.
A statement by the Revolutionary Guard said interrogations had revealed their “illegal entry” had been “a mistake”.
Luke Porter, 21, from Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, Oliver Smith, 31, from Southampton, Oliver Young, 21, from Saltash, Cornwall, Sam Usher, 26, from Scarborough, North Yorkshire, and Bahrain-based David Bloomer, who is believed to be in his 60s, were held on 25 November.
‘Very relieved’
Iran’s official IRNA news agency said the five had been freed after an interrogation by authorities established that their yacht had entered Iranian waters “by mistake”

UN inspectors inspecting Iran’s Nuclear facilities.
Yes.Iran has Nuclear capabilities on the sly as well.So, what are you going to do about it?
Do a North Korea?
Story.
TEHRAN, Iran — A team of U.N. inspectors prepared Sunday for their first look inside a formerly secret — though still unfinished — uranium enrichment facility that has raised Western suspicions about the extent of Iran’s nuclear program. The inspection tour will provide the world’s first independent details of the heavily protected site, carved into a mountainside near the holy city of Qom south of Tehran. It also coincides with the countdown to Iran’s expected decision on whether to accept a U.N.-brokered plan to process its nuclear fuel abroad.

Build Bridges with Iran.
It is time US build bridges with Iran,especially in the wake of alarming situation in Pakistan and China strangely keeping quiet on the issue of terrorism.To build an effective counter to terrorism ,you need to take the Regional players along.

Iran-G20 Show over,move over to real Politicking.
‘Considering’ and ‘Securing’ assurances from China and Russia on taking action against Iran may sound grandiose, but will it really fructify?The ‘inevitability’ of sanctions-as made out by Russia-may drive Iran into a corner.Amidst this bonhomie people seem to have forgotten N.Korea and Pakistan on Nuclear issue.The promises made by China and Russia that they will take tougher action-it is not something new,as Security Council members, they ought to do it anyway-holds good so long as it affects them, especially with reference to China.
Well, the Talk Shop is over,all of you made statesemanesque like statements, now go back to real Politicking.
