TEHRAN (Reuters) - The release of eight British military servicemen held in Iran after they entered Iranian waters is likely to be delayed until Thursday, Iran's Arabic-language Al-Alam satellite television said Wednesday.
"Taking decisions on releasing the detained (British) troops is likely to be delayed to Thursday as there is not enough time, because the delegation will arrive late tonight to the region," the channel said quoting one of its correspondents.
A delegation of British diplomats has already arrived in the area.
The report also said the three British boats and the equipment in them would stay in Iranian naval custody.
British diplomats landed in Khuzestan in southwest Iran for the handover Wednesday and were headed to Bandar Mahshahr, a petrochemical center.
"We have just landed in Ahvaz," a diplomat said, speaking from the provincial capital of Khuzestan, the oil-rich province on the Iraqi border. They were arriving from the Iranian capital Tehran.
