Iran releases new video of British navy crew

Iran hit back at claims by the captured British Navy crew of constant psychological pressure during their 13 days of detention by releasing more video clips showing them playing chess and watching television.

The video clips, which were aired briefly on Iran’s state-run Arabic satellite TV channel Al-Alam last night, showed several of the sailors and Royal Marines dressed in tracksuits playing chess and table tennis. In the footage, crew members could be heard laughing and chatting.
