If they really think these ships have the smoking gun, they should wait until the war begins to advance on them. If the ships lose contact with the mother country, and then find that command no longer comes from Baghdad, they may be more willing to give in without scuttling.

AND, at this point it makes far more sense to present the smoking gun after the diplomatic lines of the second resolution have been drawn. If France vetoes, and later the smoking gun comes out, they will be cast as an even bigger bunch of worms.
