MEMRI TV has the video from Iranian television of those captured British sailors confessing to trespassing in Iranian waters and apologizing abjectly.

Why should they make a stand, when the British government is being so utterly spineless? The hostages know the UK isn’t going to back them up. The “inappropriate reaction” is the government’s.
