At a press conference, Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said the country would release the 15 as a gift to the British people. He also awarded medals of honor to the coast guards who intercepted them, and said the release was in honor of the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad and in honor of Easter.
In what could be a related development, an Iranian envoy will be allowed to meet five Iranians detained by U.S. forced in January in northern Iraq.

As I said on March 30th, Iran is just repeating itself.....and most likely got what it wanted. They put the soldiers on TV and did the pony show for the people...attempt to make the British look bad in the world view, but in the end...they look like heroes at home.
