I'm a little confused as to why this was a good decision for Iran. Maybe you left out a sentence or something, because I can't see any positive coming from this and you really didn't explain much.

A lot of people are pissed off at Iran anyway. Who's waters these soldiers were in is still unclear. The Iranians are probably trying to make a statement saying "hey, we'll take your guys too". But then what? What's really going to happen? A trade is unlikely. Concessions are unlikely.

This is only going to piss off even more of the Western world. Now they're just flipping their finger.
