I don’t like Iran either but it is their country. America has no business being there.
True, but Kerry would have to bring fake medals with him to throw over the fence so he could use the real ones as props at a later date...
John Kerry will be there to make the awards and that expression of thankfulness to each of the winners
Since Iran has an established record of grabbing boats outside of its waters and then claiming the boats were in its waters when they really weren’t, I doubt very much that Iran is telling the truth this time- we already know the Obama admin explanation that the Iranians ‘rescued’ the boats is complete bullshnit.
