U.S. Navy sailors and boats seized by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps

[carlos86]

The Iran Nuclear deal seems to be paying dividends for us right now. For the second time in a month Iran has acted provocatively toward the U.S. Just last week Iran launched missiles close to a U.S. Navy Carrier and now today the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps seized 2 U.S. Navy Riverine boats and the 10 sailors that were on on them. The last time this happened in 2007 when Iran seized British sailors and took 13 days to return after agreement. Its seems like a political act since this is being reported.

One navy ship breaks down...one comes to its aide. Iran then seized them both.

BREAKING: Iran will allegedly hold US sailors through the State of the Union and into tomorrow

Lets all hope that this doesn't end up like a USS PUEBLO incident.

this should be yet another case where GPS can be used to tell the truth on this. but we will never here one way or the other. seems unlikely with their path that they would stray into Iranian waters, but mechanical problems were listed.

Rules of engagement were most likely only fire when fired upon.

embarrassing

It's a disgusting show of weakness to allow this to happen.

Relax, just a misunderstanding that Obama clears up w/his terrorists buddies & all will be cool again.

If they were, we will never admit it. At least not for about 50 years.

Let's bomb them sumsa*****es back to the stone age!! Goooo KBR!

If they were, we will never admit it. At least not for about 50 years.

If we wanted to "snoop" on them we would use drones not a Riverine Command Boat.

SBUs most likely.

Second coming of Jimmy Carter.

Unfortunately though, there's no Reaganite ready to take his place in the oval office.

 

[hog88]

CNN just said they are being released.

Navy SEALS only use the Special Operations Craft – Riverine boat. The other one I showed was the one that the Iranians have seized.

Jimmy Carter 2.0

CNN just said they are being released.

If that was the case they would have been released already.

We already knew Jen.

Im sure there is plenty of global warming, income inequality, healthcare and other boogey monsters for him to lecture us on.

Iran will probably release the sailors soon. The boats will never be returned. They'll keep those to use for their own tech gains.
