Now that would figure.  The UK says they were in Iraqi waters, the US says
they were in Iraqi waters, Iraq says they were in Iraqi waters, but you go

This is a stunt to get their Quds force members back. It really is that
simple and they knew taking US personnel wouldn't get them anything and
would likely get a reaction they didn't want.
