［テヘラン ２日 ロイター］ イランのラリジャニ最高安全保障委員会事務局長は２日、同国が拘束している英海軍兵士ら１５人をめぐる問題について、外交的な解決を望んでおり、英海軍兵士らが裁判を受ける必要はないとの考えを示した。ラリジャニ事務局長は英国のチャンネル４テレビとのインタビューで「問題を解決することは可能だ。裁判を行う必要はない」と述べた。
さらに「英海軍兵士らがイラン領海内に侵入したかどうかを解明するための調査を行う代表団が必要だ。感情論ではこの問題は解決できない」と指摘。「英政府とイラン政府の間で見解の相違がみられる。この問題は２国間協議で解決されるべきだ。このような違反行為を繰り返さないという確約が必要だ」と語った。

Iran says no need for trial of British sailors
Mon Apr 2, 2007 6:53PM EDT
By Edmund Blair
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran said on Monday it wanted to resolve the row over 15 British sailors and marines seized in the Gulf through diplomacy and there was no need for a trial.
The 11-day dispute centers on where the sailors were seized by Iran. Britain insists they were in Iraqi waters on a routine mission authorized by the United Nations and the Iraqi government, but Tehran says they were in its territory.
"This issue can be resolved and there is no need for any trial," Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, told Britain's Channel 4 News television.
"There should be a delegation to review the case ... to clarify whether they have been in our territorial waters or not. Through sensationalism you cannot solve the problem," he said in a interview from Tehran, speaking through a translator.
Britain's approach, which included seeking U.N. and European Union backing to isolate Iran, has been strongly criticized by Tehran during the stand-off, which has heightened tensions over Iran's nuclear ambitions and helped pushed oil prices up $10.
"There is a difference of view between the UK government and the Iranian government. This issue should be resolved bilaterally," Larijani said. "A guarantee must be given that such violations would not be repeated."
Britain's foreign office had no immediate reaction to Larijani's remarks.
"Our priority is the safe release of the personnel and diplomatic means will continue," a ministry spokeswoman said.
SHIFT IN STANCE
Iranian television said on Monday it had detected a shift in British policy that may help resolve the row, marking a softening in Tehran's tone.
"It seems that Britain has shifted a little bit from its stance in the last one or two days over the undeniable facts and from some of its clamor," Iranian state television said in a commentary accompanying new video of the military personnel.
London has sent a response to a letter from Tehran calling for it to accept responsibility for any border violations. It has not yet received a reply.
Ministers have also been more measured in their comments over the weekend after a barrage of strongly-worded criticism about the way Tehran was parading the sailors on television.
"The Iranians know our position. They know stage-managed TV appearances are not going to affect that position," Prime Minister Tony Blair's spokesman said. "We're waiting now for their response. There's a lot going on behind the scenes."
Washington stressed on Monday it stood firmly behind Blair and laid the blame on Tehran. But the White House, which has been leading the international campaign to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions, insisted it was not trying to escalate the crisis.
"We reject any notion that suggests that we are ratcheting up the language in terms of trying to prepare to go for -- to war with Iran. That is certainly not the case," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.
President Bush on Saturday called the detention inexcusable.
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said on Monday he had appealed to Tehran to tone down its rhetoric.
New video footage broadcast on Monday showed some members of the British group in uniform and talking to camera, but their voices could not be heard. Previously Iran had aired "confessions" from four of the British sailors and marines.
