In other words, they wanted to see how easily Iran will bend. With this one stone three birds would have been killed: 1) Iran's water border would have been pushed to where determined by the British! 2) Stage would have been set for further incursions. 3) Blair would have got a chance to huff and puff and rally the beerded pub-dwellers of britain behind its possible upcoming aggressive attitude towars Iran. I am personally happy that Iran withstood its grounds. I am also happy that they released pictures of healthy and happy soldiers. I know that the coalition governments are calling it "propaganda", but I am sure they would have been much more pleased if the Britons were shown in a state of misery, tortured and abused! That would have validated their accusations of Iran's evilness! They must be quite pissed that Iran didn't give them the chance! Here’s my theory:

Notice also that the US has been relatively quiet about the situation, especially considering their usual vitriol towards Iran. I think the Americans are still ironing out the details to invade Iran, the Generals are giving their political masters a lot of warnings about the practicalities, and the British have been kept somewhat in the loop, thought not a lot, and are merely playing their part as junior lieutenant to the Sherrif of the Middle East.
