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."

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

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

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.

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

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