Britain admitted that a series of “shortcomings” combined in March to allow Iranian Revolutionary Guards to kidnap 15 sailors and marines in the Persian Gulf. But it insisted that no individual was responsible and no disciplinary action would be taken. Meanwhile, Britain forbade military personnel to sell tales of their exploits, after an outcry earlier this year when some of the crew seized by Iran published stories in exchange for cash.
