I have liked the idea of a naval blockade of Iran to stop their development of nuclear weapons. But George Friedman of Austin’s Stratfor says even the idea of imposing one for the limited purpose of forcing release of the Birt hostages was not seriously considered because of Iran’s ability to retaliate in Iraq, among other places. Although one supposes stopping the nukes would be considerably more incentive than a few military prisoners.
