From Matt Bracken's take...
"Today, these boats both not only had radar, but multiple GPS devices, including chart plotters"
then
"The boats did not enter Iranian waters. They were overtaken in international waters by Iranian patrol boats that were so superior in both speed and firepower"
Shouldn't the boats have seen the Iranian boats closing fast on the GPS\Radar\Chart Plotters ?

Yes, by eye and by radar, but I am guessing the Iranians employed very powerful jammers to prevent a call for help.
