Why were the boats there to begin with? What were they doing?
With all the advanced navigation equipment available, how is it possible for two vessels to accidently wander into Iranian waters?
Why didn’t the undamaged vessel tow the other one to safety? They had to have had mooring lines or they could have improvised something.
These guys were confessing to international crimes and crying within a day. I know pilots where were in solitary confinement in the Hanoi Hilton for years and tortured and still refused to make statements like that.
The earthquakes we’ve been feeling are probably all the Navy vets rolling over in their graves.
