Iran's ambassador to Moscow has said the British sailors and marines seized in the Gulf eight days ago may face trial and legal moves have begun, it is reported.

"It is possible that the British soldiers who entered into Iranian waters will go on trial for taking this illegal action," Ambassador Gholamreza Ansari told Russian television channel Vesti-24, according to Iran's IRNA news agency.

"The legal phase concerning these British soldiers has started and if charges against them are proven, they will be punished," said Ansari.

IRNA said he made the comments on Friday evening. It gave no further details.
