Breaking: Iran detains U.S navy soldiers entering Iranian territorial waters

hours...not days..

Just underlining my comment even further.

Very Bold and brave step by Iranian Cost Guards. Let these Yankies know , they can't enter in other country's meritime boundries without their permission.

I saw the film of surrounded American soldiers by IRGC, simply the US got humiliated by this action and wonderingly no reaction from US yet!

You enter one's territorial waters, you get arrested, there is no humiliation in that. That will happen to any other country in the world by any proper country, U.S is no exception.

Just when I thought the US boat was pretty small...It doesn't look like they were outmatched. Hmm..all 10 people on just one of the boats..sounds like the other boat had serious problems.

What do you mean '''outmatched'? Where they supposed to put up a fight too while entering Iranian maritime boundary?


Anyway, what's with this superiority complex that some Americans, from civilians to politicians and commanders have? Are Americans supposed to be treated different from any other country? What would you do if we came all the thousands of miles and entered U.S territorial waters?

Take a look at where countries are located and where sailors where arrested.

And then take a look at this typical idiot which unfortunately, his kinds aren't rare in U.S.

And there is no shortage of bigots, even among top politicians.

Thats typical thug behavior: if u behave nicely to thug he thinks u are weak and humiliates u. That what Ayatulas did with Carter and same they do with Obama. With Reagan they would not dare even approach the US ship.

I mean the story sounds credible that the US boats were disabled since you guys were able to pull up to them with a simple patrol boat and they didn't speed away. Or some big cruiser cutting them off and forcing them to surrender.

The US doesn't behave like little kids. It has power, everyone recognizes it and knows it. It doesn't need to flex any muscles. This is not humiliation. Iranian gov't/military may tout it as some kind of victory for domestic purposes. Nothing new.

So now you're riding the bandwagon of secular Cyrus? How could you betray Ali like that?



Stop embarrassing yourself please. US and Iran have friendly ties in Iraq since 2003. They cooperate in Syria as well. They made recent deal which will open up markets to each other. Furthermore you are US resident.

Let's stop pretending there is any real animosity, there simply isn't.

You said you have high political understanding...

Army Gen. Barry McCaffrey, an NBC News military analyst, said the seizure of American boats is "very bad news" and highlights how the Navy may have failed to have surveillance on its vessels.

"We simply can't allow ground, air or naval units to be seized by a foreign hostile power," McCaffrey said on MSNBC. "I hope they're back real quickly. This is an affront to our military presence in the Gulf and will unsettle our allies in the region."

This is some news analyst, why are you quoting him for me....Anyway let's end it here.

@Daneshmand and @haman10 they don't look terrified to me.

Imagine anyone entering the USA's territorial waters. There would be a hue and cry. The Cuban missile crisis proves that the USA is not willing to let other countries do what it does and they refuse to let anyone give them a taste of their own medicine. The simple fact that US has the second largest nuclear arsenal yet does not want Iran to have a nuke proves that they are committed to maintaining the status qou and their hegemony status.

The fall of the US will bring fireworks and jubilation across the world. I am already waiting for the day it happens. Such a hypocritical nation-the only one to have used a nuke does not deserve to be a world power since it is already the world bully.

@Daneshmand and @haman10 they don't look terrified to me.

Yes, because they are in the hands of compassionate Iranian military. They know they can trust Iran to treat them humanely. That is why as soon as they saw Iranian military they raised their hands in surrender and cried: "Take us, take us, take us, please, we submit to you, oh great warriors of the sea".

That is the difference.

The implications of what he says are very clear. Here is it for you again to read and think about:

"This is an affront to our military presence in the Gulf and will unsettle our allies in the region."

A US army General is saying that. Which allies, he is talking about? You know very well which ones.

Damn, it backfired......

10 U.S soldiers were released an hour ago in international waters. IRGC said it was 'proved' to them that they entered Iran's waters by mistake due to malfunction of their navigation system.

Navigation systems seem to malfunction a lot in that area lately! I wonder if another Bermuda Triangle is taking shape in Persian Gulf!
