The Iranians tried to take some take some sailors from the Royal Australian Navy hostage in the same fashion as they did the Brits. Fortunately the Aussies had a different idea and turned the tables on the Iranians.
The incident is being reported as very similar to the Brit one, whereas the Australians were searching a cargo ship and the Iranian Navy approached in small boats. The Australians drew their weapons and told the Iranians to stand down, which the Iranians did.
Iranian naval forces tried to capture an Australian boarding team in the Persian Gulf — even before they seized and held 15 British sailors and Marines — but where the British sailors were taken captive, the Australian sailors repelled their attackers, BBC News reported Thursday.
The Australian and British incidents were very similar, according to what British military sources told the BBC: An Royal Australian Navy team had been searching a cargo ship in the northern Persian Gulf when Iranian operatives approached in small boats. But the Aussies “were having none of it,” the BBC reported
They reboarded the ship they had just searched and trained their weapons on the Iranians, warning them “in colorful language” to back off. The Iranians withdrew. The Australian sailors were later extracted by helicopter, according to the story. Reuters reported that the boarding team was from the frigate Adelaide. It also reported that two Australian sailors were awarded medals after the incident.
This is the exact mentality that all free nations need to get. Stand tall, stand strong.
