So, how serious do you think this is? Does this have the potential to really escalate things between Iran and the west?---

TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran says the 15 detained British sailors and marines it is holding are healthy and being treated in a humane fashion.
"They are in completely good health. Rest assured that they have been treated with humanitarian and moral behavior," Mohammad Ali Hosseini, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards captured the group Friday, while it was conducting what Britain called an inspection of a merchant vessel near the mouth of the Shatt al-Arab, at the northern end of the Persian Gulf.
Hosseini said the one woman in the group had complete privacy. "Definitely all ethics have been observed," he said.
The official declined to say where the marines were being held and repeated that their case was under investigation.
