• New letter 'from Faye' accuses Bush and Blair

• Marine 'confesses' to straying into Iraqi waters

• Blair 'disgusted' at treatment of detainees

Captured sailor Faye Turney says she has been "sacrificed" to the policies of the British and U.S. governments in a third letter released by her Iranian captors today.

The letter, addressed to the British people, also said that Turney had been treated well, unlike the prisoners held by the at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

"I'm writing to you as a British serviceperson who has been sent to Iraq, sacrificed due to the intervening policies of the Bush and Blair government," the letter said.

It comes just hours after her colleague, Nathan Summers, made a dramatic televised "confession" where he apologised for entering Iranian waters.

He was paraded on Iran's official Al-Alam channel and admitted crossing into Iranian waters and apologised to the "Iranian people".

Leading Seaman Turney made a similar admission in a letter earlier this week. However, the letters were believed to have been written under duress.

It raised hopes that frantic negotiations could be paving the way for the release of 15 Britons seized last week while on patrol on the Shatt al Arab waterway.

A Whitehall source said of Tehran: "They are looking for a way out."

Tony Blair however expressed "disgust" at the treatment of the captured British Royal Navy personnel by the Iranians.

Mr Blair said: "I really don't know why the Iranian regime keep doing this. All it does is enhance people's sense of disgust.

"Captured personnel being paraded and manipulated in this way doesn't fool anyone. What the Iranians have to realise is that if they continue in this way, they will face increasing isolation."

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad this morning insisted that Britain must apologise for straying into Iranian waters. There was speculation that the second confession may be enough to end the seven-day stand-off. It came after Iran appeared to open the way for an end to the crisis.

In its first formal communication, Iran said in a note that it would release the Navy and military personnel if Britain guaranteed not to violate Iranian waters.

The Foreign Office said it was giving the statement "serious consideration". Such a note was the start of the process which led to the release of Britons seized in similar circumstances three years ago.

A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that, as reported in the Iranian media, the Iranian government has sent a formal note to the British Embassy. Such exchanges are always confidential so we cannot divulge any details but we are giving the message serious consideration and will soon respond formally to the Iranian government." Rosemary Hollis, an expert on Iran at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, today said that it appeared that Russia had played a key role in persuading Tehran to be more flexible in return for blocking a strong UN condemnation.

Ms Hollis added that there was real hope of a breakthrough because the note appeared to have been written by the supreme leader of Iran, Al Khamenei, rather than president Ahmadinejad.

The United Nations statement, agreed late last night, expressed "grave concern" at the plight of the hostages.

The Foreign Office angrily condemned the broadcast of the latest pictures.

"Using our military personnel for purposes of propaganda like this is outrageous," a spokesman said.

The British Government has denied that the marines entered Iranian waters, and has provided proof to its leaders that the soldiers were in Iraqi territory.

Zetas Right Again!

Are there really 15 Brits in captivity in Iran? Where were the British when captured? Who/What is behind the capture? Will they be released soon?

One of the games played when one country wants to taunt another into attack, into an aggressive stance, is to toy with the border. If this goes unchallenged, then the border is crossed, all the while professing innocence. If this invasion is allowed, then further invasions are attempted until the country under attack defends itself, and then voile there is a reason for war. This ploy is as old as mankind and greed have been around. This ploy, among others, was anticipated by Iran, who was very careful not to react when their diplomats were arrested in Iraq as terrorists, or unfounded accusations of weapons dealing to Iraqis were floated about by the US, or when the US incites their internal rebels to create a fuss with weapons the US has given them. But border crossing is another matter, and this escalates until the country is truely invaded, so where it the line drawn? At the first instance, and much publicized. As with the other instances, the world is not blind as to who is at fault, nor will Iran react. After a time, these Brits will be released, but do not expect this to be speedy. Iran understands that Britain is not amused by Blair's involvement in Iraq, and the public wants an exit, not an escalation. Iran has won this hand.
