Tony Blair MP (Prime minister) interview SOT
- (On reaction to television pictures of Faye Turney) Will be absolutely clear on this, we have shown conclusively the personnel were in Iraqi waters, they were carrying out a UN mandate, they weren't straying into Iranian waters
- (On how Navy personnel were shown on Iranian television) It's completely wrong / People should not be used in that way
- Clear from our attitudes of European partners and partners in United Nations that people understand this is a clear situation /What I'm trying to get across to the Iranian government is there is no alternative but to release them and the longer it goes on the more the pressure will be stepped up
- Tom, its difficult to judge / You can never be sure with the Iranian regime why they are acting in this way / All I know is they have 15 of our personnel and have to release them / All that can happen is over time to come we have to step up our pressure / There is only one outcome / They were in Iraqi waters carrying out a UN mandate, carrying out the job they were supposed to do for the international community
