An Australian Navy boarding crew repelled an Iranian gunboat that threatened them a matter of weeks before 15 British sailors were captured in a similar incident, the BBC is reporting.
"The Australians escaped capture by climbing back on board the ship they'd just searched. I'm told that they set up their weapons."
What I'm hearing is that it was a pretty robust attitude by the Australians," Gardner said.
"The words that somebody said to me was that they used pretty colourful language but I'm sure that alone didn't make the Iranians back off".
