LONDON (Associated Press) - An Iranian opposition group claimed Saturday that Iran’s capture of 15 British sailors and marines was planned in advance and carried out in retaliation for the U.N. sanctions imposed against the country, as an Iranian diplomat said the case had entered a legal phase.

The National Council of Resistance of Iran” the political wing of the Iranian MEK opposition group which is listed as a terrorist group by Britain, the U.S. and the European Union” said the British crew’s capture was planned in advance, but offered no evidence to support the claims.

Former Iranian President Mohammed Khatami told reporters on Saturday that he hopes the current standoff will be resolved peacefully “instead of facing a new disaster not only for Iranian-British relations, but for Iran internationally.”

As the reasons for the war on terror are becoming unraveled at an alarming pace, the political finger pointing and rhetoric are reaching “Pinocchio” proportions. Seemingly one lie that started this whole war/occupation nonsense in the first place, has evolved into a multi-country game of chicken. Who’s telling the truth? Who knows at this stage. But it looks as though things are going to get worse before they get better.
