DUBAI, Jan 13 (Reuters) - A U.S. aircraft carrier acted "provocatively and unprofessionally" for 40 minutes by carrying out manoeuvres in the Gulf after Iran arrested 10 American sailors, Iran's Revolutionary Guards Naval commander, Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi, said on state television on Wednesday.
Separately, a spokesman for the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) said the U.S. sailors were being interrogated, according to the Tasnim news agency. (Reporting by Bozorgmehr Sharafedin; Writing by Yara Bayoumy; Editing by Robeert Birsel)

... All while Obama was telling us at the SOTU that we are the most powerful country in the world....
And thus goes the story of Jimmie Carter’s third term.
They have our sailors in custody! OF COURSE WE’RE GOING TO ACT PROVACATIVELY!!! BE FREAKIN GLAD WE HAVENT LAUNCHED NUKES ON YOUR GOAT-HUMPIN ASSES!!!!’
So we acted like petulant children throwing and tantrum and essentially did nothing to them as they captured two of our boats? Which, it so happens, both had ‘mechanical failure’ at the same time.
Ya can't make this stuff up. Go Trump
Washington (CNN)The 10 American sailors captured in Iran are being questioned, Iranian state media said Wednesday.
The sailors, held by the Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), “acted unprofessionally” after they were captured a day earlier, the state-owned Press TV said.
The state-run IRNA news agency said the sailors are “healthy and will be treated well.”
The sailors did not show resistance and will be released “as soon as the IRGC receives proper orders,” IRGC Navy Commander Admiral Ali Fadavi said on Iranian TV.

Provocatively? Did it launch aircraft and threaten to rain destruction from the sky? If not it didn’t act provocatively at all, it more likely behaved just like the ineffective, red line drawing, muslim appeasing eunuch that resides in our White House.
You bet, the Iranians are interrogating them while searching and going through our boats, which they will probably not be releasing.
Interrogated. Send a fleet and destroy EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEIR @#$@#$ @#$@#$ING jets, ships, tanks, oil refineries, nuke labs, and whatever else needs destroying.
Trump will win because obama is another carter, but worse
carter was stupid and liberal, obama is a traitor.
Interrogated? and we’re still going to make that freaking deal?!?!?!?!
i’m so ashamed and HATE the people that voted for him.
Any witnesses to that provocation?
other than Iranians ....
So when will B.Hussein O. act and get our Sailors back? just wondering.
I agree with your comments.
what do you bet that Bush and Hillary are instrumental in their release?
Thanks. Every now and then I get one right :)
10 months until we know we are heading in a different direction.
I just can’t picture obummer handing Trump the keys to the WH.
it concerns me. it WOULD be another civil war if he didn’t.
I agree, but I had the same thoughts before Clinton left office.
Did you? i can definitely see that.
But for all the horrific things they’ve done, and they should be in jail, at least they have a tinge of American in them.
this guy’s a foreigner. No allegiance. He wants to fundamentally transform. How can he do that if he gives the keys to someone who is going to reverse everything he did?
i dont know.
There would be an arising in this nation that would dwarf anything before it.
He/they won’t go there.
I can’t say that definitively, but I very highly doubt it.
I would prefer that our Aircraft Carries never act provocatively. I would like them to sail quietly and supreme with the knowledge of all foes that they know nothing of provocative action until they die with no notice of the fact they will die.
