Iran would use that as a reason to hold the troops not let them go. This is the same game they played with US if I recall correctly.

If the Iranians coerced the confession out of the female sailor, one has to unfortunately conclude that the act of letting her go free would only end up being a severe liability for the Iranians.

Exactly, And I think that we know they did do just that. There is no other way to get it that fast.

None of them are going free, and she might be the first to die.

If the Iranians saw the British as a weak link and wanted them to capitulate/bow down before the Islamic god Ahmadinejad, I think this time they made a huge miscalculation. I mean we are right there to back the Brits up.


However if they do succeed, it will be a huge victory for them, for they will humiliate the West, and split the Brits off from US.
