It is irrelevent what pelosi does. What does matter is what the Brits and the U.S. does.
Iran is now saying they may try the 15 sailors.

I believe we can agree that carter started this mess when Iran held the American Embasy hostage, and did not challege it.
The Brits are in a very similar situation. Obviously the iranian leadership believes that this will also go unchallenged. What Britian has to do, is tell Iran if the sailors are not released within 48 hours, their country will become a parking lot.
The Iranians will realize VERY quickly that NO ONE will come to their aid.
The Iranians are not Arabs, they are mostly Shia, and are surrounded by Arabs and Sunni who cannot stand them. Russia is NOT going to cause WWIII because of this, and I suspect Russia will tell Iran in no uncertain terms to release the sailors
Unfortunately, I think the Iranians have read the west very well, and realize that no such ultimatium will be given
It would ironic that Britain could say that these captives are in actuality traitors defecting to Iran and the UK has just decided they must be eliminated and are now sending cruise missles to their location.
That would definately be egg on a face for Ahmanutjawb and his seeing eye goat country.
