Quoting a "military source", BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner reports Iranian forces made a concerted
attempt to seize a boarding party from the Royal Australian Navy and that the Australians "were having none of it".
"The BBC has been told the Australians re-boarded the vessel they had just searched," Gardner reports, "aimed their
machine guns at the approaching Iranians, and warned them to back off, using what was said to be 'highly colourful language'."
"The Iranians withdrew, and the Australians were reportedly lifted off the ship by one of their own helicopters."
