假沿海边界

英国的政府出版了显示事件的座标的地图，在伊朗或伊拉克海边界之内。 主流媒介和甚而blogosphere完全地买了此。但有二个巨大问题。
A) 在英国的政府地图显示的伊朗或伊拉克沿海边界不存在。 它由英国的政府草拟了。 仅伊拉克和伊朗可能同意他们的双边界限，并且他们从未仅做此在海湾，在Shatt里面，因为那里它也是土地边界。 This published boundary is a fake with no legal force.
B) Accepting the British coordinates for the position of both HMS Cornwall and the incident, both were closer to Iranian land than Iraqi land. Go on, print out the map and measure it. Which underlines the point that the British produced border is not a reliable one.
None of which changes the fact that the Iranians, having made their point, should have handed back the captives immediately. I pray they do so before this thing spirals out of control. But by producing a fake map of the Iran/Iraq boundary, notably unfavourable to Iran, we can only harden the Iranian position.
