Iran has broadcast more images of the 15 British military personnel it is holding.
The footage shows the group smiling and talking on camera, although it is not known whether they coerced into appearing. No audio was immediately available on the broadcast.
The Government dismissed the "stage-managed" appearance.
"These stage-managed TV appearances are not going to affect our position," Downing Street said.
"We have strong international support and whatever happens next is up to Iran."
Iran had earlier said every member of the group had confessed to illegally entering Iranian waters.
"All 15 British soldiers arrested accepted they entered Iranian territorial waters illegally," the broadcast said.
State TV did not show footage of the confessions.
Captain Chris Air An Iranian news agency suggested a recent shift in British policy from "clamorous ... policies" had encouraged Iran not to air the confessions.
More footage of the soldiers was broadcast by Iranian TV at the weekend.
One of the Britons apologised for his group's "intrusion".
Lieutenant Felix Carman, said: "I would like to say to the Iranian people: 'I can understand why you are so angry about our intrusion into your waters'."
The other man, named as Royal Marine Captain Chris Air, said: "So far we have been treated very well by all the people here.
The point marked on the map "They have looked after us and made sure we are given enough food and treated very well by them, so I thank them for that."
The Foreign Office condemned the short clip as "unacceptable".
The British Embassy in Tehran was pelted with rocks and firecrackers during a demonstration by students at the weekend.
The Britons were captured shortly after conducting a routine early morning anti-smuggling check on a merchant vessel on March 23.
Footage of two of them apparently confessing to illegally entering Iranian territory was broadcast last week.
The UK Government insists the sailors and Royal Marines were in Iraqi waters when Iranian gunboats seized them.
President Bush has publicly backed Tony Blair's efforts to resolve the situation peacefully, calling the capture "inexcusable behaviour".
