Blair's claim that he is ready for "a different phase" in resolving the hostage crisis if diplomacy fails is ominous and strong. The U.S. is now conducting major exercises off the Iranian coast. The situation looks interesting, to say the least.
In short, what Blair means is this: Capturing Iranian agents who are shooting at, or planting bombs against coalition forces in Iraq is quite different from what is happening here. The encroachment of another nation's territory in order to capture troops operating there is something done by nations at war.
If the Islamic Republic wishes that a state of war exist between them and Britain or the U.S., they need only continue on course.
