Two additional British personnel among a group 15 detained sailors and marines have admitted trespassing into Iranian territorial waters.
A video aired by the Arabic Alalam TV showed the pair with accompanying audio standing in front of an Iranian chart of the northern Persian Gulf waters where the whole crew were detained on March 23. In the video, Captain Chris Air pointed to the charts, saying that at "approximately about 10 o'clock in the morning, we were seized, apparently at this point here, from their maps, from the GPS they've shown us, which is inside Iranian territorial waters".
Air added that so far, the group, which includes one woman, has "been treated very well by all the people here". "They have looked after us and made sure that we are given enough food and been treated very well by them, so we thank them for that."
Following Air on the video was Lieutenant Felix Carman, who said, "Yes, I'd like to say to the Iranian people, I can understand why you were so angry about our intrusion into your waters."
