Iranian navy detains 15 British soldiers

(AP) According to the Pentagon, 15 British soldiers were conducting anti smuggling operations in inflatable rafts along a disputed territorial waterway and were detained by Iran.

(Later: More detailed AP version.)

(Reuters) More detail from witnesses. The whole thing went down without shots.

I would imagine this is all posturing by the Iranians and they will be released in a couple of days.
