Comments:UK prepared to go 'into different phase' if sailors and marines not released by Iran within days

"different phases"
This is basically one step short of saying war. DragonFire1024 10:20, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I dunno, I followed the BBC's "Have Your Say" on this, and the top rated comments could be summed up as "Give our boys (and girls) back or we nuke you 'till you glow". Somehow I can't see Tony saying "We are now at war with Iran", he's too much of a weaselly politician to be that blunt. --Brian McNeil / talk 11:37, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * He's not going to war over it, certainly not as long as they are unharmed. "Different phases" probably means expelling some diplomats, freezing some assets or going to the SC. --+Deprifry+ 12:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

He probably means sanctions.
