Iran captured Canadian and Australian troops in the Persian Gulf but never announced that, according to Admiral Ali-Reza Tangsiri, the deputy commander of the Pasdaran maritime force. The Fars news agency reported that Tangsiri said the Canadians and Australians were captured before any Americans and Britons were taken captive. But he didn’t say when the Canadians and Australians were captured, how long they were held or why they were taken captive. Australia and Canada have said nothing about any military personnel being captured by Iran, which makes Tangsiri’s remarks look suspicious.
