Iran released the British soldiers it held hostage. Why?
Kenneth R. Timmerman at NewsMax.com believes the sailing of the U.S.S. Nimitz -- a third aircraft carrier headed for the Gulf -- was a key factor. The Nimitz is scheduled to relieve the Eisenhower. However, if military action is planned against Iran, a window when three carrier groups are present could be arranged -- although anonymous sources say no overlap is planned.
Another possibility is the release of Iranian diplomat Jalal Sharafi from Iraq.
