Iran state television released images of the 10 U.S. sailors that the Iranian military held in custody overnight Tuesday.

ABC News first reported the photos, which appeared after the sailors were released by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps Wednesday morning.

Look at the pictures. And Biden thanked the Iranians for rescuing Americans.

[driftdiver]

Thank God we got those guys back unharmed.

How the hell did this happen? Our sailors surrendered to a fishing boat???

[flaglady47]

Will we see a picture of Kerry handing over a 150 billion dollar check to the Ayatollah too in a couple of weeks?

[skinndogNN]

A picture is worth a thousand words.

This is humiliating Mr. President.

[Steely Tom]

Does anyone know the exact time of the first news of this attack?

The first mention of it on FR was at 1610 EST yesterday.

[WKUHilltopper]

Two more ships to add to the list (USS Pueblo) that gave up without a fight.

More pictures for Obama scrap book of “I was the Greatest President Ever”

[freeandfreezing]

More importantly, look at the firepower the US boat had vs. the Iranians who "arrested" them, somebody must have ordered the Americans to surrender without defending themselves. And somebody never ordered air cover to provide back up support to the boat. The question now is why? Why did our government choose to let the Iranians capture our boat and sailors?

The Pentagon was bombed and under the undocumented
First Moslem, and now it arms al Qaeda against Americans.

The pictures show another US Navy
SUBMISSION which is the goal
of the undocumented First Moslem and Islam.
It is their way.

Submission to all, except US citizens and the
US Constitution, it seems.

We were in their waters, even if by accident. Yes its a PR coup for Iran that this happened, but end of the day, America is not a paper tiger... Obama is.

[Timber Rattler]

The video down below the pics is even more disturbing...a couple of the sailors are actually smiling for the camera, and then they are all shown eating a meal together on the floor, except for the female sailor, who's sitting alone back in the corner with a rag over her head, looking thoroughly humiliated.

Thanks Obama and Kerry for dragging the once proud U.S. Navy down to THIS outrage!

[PghBaldy]

If Iran had taken our people hostage the day before, and the pictures released before the SOTU, they would have had more impact. As it is, I expect the media & the Congress to forget about this latest outrage ASAP.

[GilGil]

Obama lives to humiliate. He loves seeing this! That is what communist leftists do. They humiliate and depress.

[PghBaldy]

I saw an AP reporter’s Tweet which was about 403PM ET, IIRC

[TexasCajun]

"I want to express my gratitude to Iranian authorities for their cooperation in swiftly resolving this matter," Kerry said in a short statement.

Yep, those boats were all armed and carrying more than enough firepower aboard to fend off the Iranians. It’s clear that some limp-willied Admiral ordered them to surrender to avoid a fight and thereby mess up Obama’s nuke deal.

[Eddie01]

Tiger?

I was wrong:
