As the diplomatic wrangling intensifies, its been revealed that not one but two British news outlets interviewed leading Seaman Specialist Faye Turney, the lone female among the fifteen British sailors and marines now held by Iran.
Her capture by Iran's Revolutionary Guards came only a few hours after she was interviewed.
In the interview with The Independent, she described how the crew of HMS Cornwall were well aware of the perils of operating in an area that had been targeted by suicide bombers.
"The atmosphere on the boat is really good”, she told reporters. “We were made aware that some things can be really dodgy. [But] we've not really had anything that bad at the moment - that's always a good sign.
