Iranian Revolutionary Guards captured the British sailors and Royal
Marines in March, it was not exactly their first attempt.
It turns out that Iranian forces made an earlier concerted attempt to seize a boarding party from the Royal Australian Navy.
The Australians, though, to quote one military source, "were having none of it".
The BBC has been told the Australians re-boarded the vessel they had
just searched, aimed their machine guns at the approaching Iranians and
warned them to back off, using what was said to be "highly colourful
language".
The Iranians withdrew, and the Australians were reportedly lifted off the ship by one of their own helicopters. - [Iran 'unable to take Australians']
