LONDON -- Armed Iranian forces today seized 15 British Royal Navy sailors who had searched a merchant ship in the Persian Gulf, Britain's Defense Ministry said.

Nader Daryaban, a correspondent in Tehran for the state-run daily newspaper Kayhan, said government officials had confirmed to him that the sailors had been detained. The officials would not disclose where they were being held.

"The Revolutionary Guards detained the 15 sailors while they were in Iranian water, not Iraqi's," Daryaban said the officials told him. "It is not the first time that the British transgress our water and inspect Iranian ships."

Britain said the incident took place in Iraqi waters, where it routinely boards merchant vessels with United Nations permission to search them. The Foreign Office summoned Iran's ambassador and demanded the immediate, safe release of the personnel.

As of this afternoon, there were no reports of the seizure on state-run Iranian television.
