| Bush buys into Iran hostage crisis |
| 2007-03-31 |
| US President George W. Bush has said overnight that Iran's seizure of 15 British sailors and marines was "inexcusable behavior" and he supported British efforts to get them back. "It's a serious issue because the Iranians took these people out of Iraqi waters," Mr Bush said. "And it's inexcusable behavior and I strongly support the (British Prime Minister Tony) Blair government's attempts to resolve this peacefully," Mr Bush said after talks with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva. The US leader rejected suggestions that Washington could help in the eight-day-old standoff by freeing five Iranians captured by US forces in northern Iraq in January. "I support the (British) prime minister when he made it clear there were no quid pro quos," Mr Bush said. "The Iranians must give back the hostages." |
