WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Pentagon says it briefly lost contact with two small Navy craft in the Persian Gulf on Tuesday but has received assurances from Iran that the crew and vessels will be returned safely and promptly.

Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook tells The Associated Press that the boats were moving between Kuwait and Bahrain when the US lost contact with them.

Cook says, "We have been in contact with Iran and have received assurances that the crew and the vessels will be returned promptly."

Returned? With the crews, I hope.

[EEGator]

Like in 444 days?

[PGR88]

Here we go.

Obama, prepare to be made a fool of by Iran in your last 8 months.

Hey what’s 10 more Iranian hostages, no problem, Obama will just let Iran do whatever they want to

Landslide for Trump if Iran plays games.

They were probably an aircraft carrier and a cruiser. That's how much I trust the propaganda coming from Obama's Washington these days.

[Leo Carpathian]

Oh, just leave 10 more empty chairs at his State of dis-union.

[Snickering Hound]

Yeah, they'll get right around to returning them.

[Don Corleone]

The world is on a razors edge.

Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook ... says, "We have been in contact with Iran and have received assurances that the crew and the vessels will be returned promptly."

You have got to be f'ng kidding me? Assurances?! This is an act of war and this POTUS commits TREASON by doing nothing.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Obama is already Iran’s fool. The “deal” that Kerry negotiated with Iran is the joke of the Mid East.

[Former Proud Canadian]

Unbelieveable.

[ColdOne]

Obama constantly arms our enemy. Maybe just the crew back so Iran can get 2 full on armed Navy boats. Just like that drone obama let them have.

[oldplayer]

Time for Obama to put on his surfing jams and take his foot and draw a line in the ocean. That’ll scare them.

[doug from upland]

What would Reagan do? I think we know.

[Shady]

Love this, we are made fools of by the Iranians (Deal?) on the night of the State of the Union Spectacular!!

[rfreedom4u]

Obama is already a fool. Iran is just making it more obvious.

[NormsRevenge]

Well, Hellfire missile to CUba.. I hear ya..

[SkyDancer]

Crew didn’t fight back? Maybe our Mussie-In-Chief told them not to.
