The Iranians did what the Brits would have done if the roles were reversed, namely taken into custody the Iranian navy personnel if the Brits believed they had entered into or even strayed too close to British territory. And once in custody the British government would have used the situation to whatever political advantage they could, whether national or international.

The bottom line is that we don't know where the Brits were. We are told one story as I am sure the Iranians are told another. But more importantly is that if the roles were reversed then most western nations would have done the same thing regardless of whether they were within or just near the borders of the territorial waters. As to the why - I suspect for political mileage.
