The eight British servicemen held in Iran since Monday have been released, the UK government has said.
The six Royal Marines and two sailors were flown to Tehran and have now been taken to the British embassy compound in the Iranian capital.

The men were seized in the Shatt al-Arab waterway, where they were training the Iraqi river patrol service.

British officials have said that the men may have mistakenly strayed over the maritime border.

The men were released at 0830BST on Thursday and arrived in Tehran around 90 minutes later
