According to The Independent it was all the American's fault that the 15 sailors and marines were abducted by the Iranians.Whilst I'm sure that Iran was not particularly happy about this attempt, more from the embarrassment it would have caused, I think it probably pails into insignificance compared to all the other actions being taken against Iran on the Global stage.
I would suggest the reason is a little bit more due to the corruption that is rife in Iran and smuggling of goods/arms etc.

If all else fails, blame the Yanks. It usually works.
