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.

I’d like to hear the female sailor’s account if she’s ever allowed to tell it.

She’s the only one in the group in that room with the meal who truly looks pissed off and humiliated. Watch the last video and you’ll see it.

Screw it, I’d be willing to start a war over this. Unacceptable.

This seems like a setup. The paid liar said the reason we made the nuke deal with Iran was so incidents like this will be resolved peacefully.

It didn’t make sense. Kerry’s and Biden’s apology and thanks to the Iranians confirms this.

Reagan and Bush would have blown the Iranian boats out of the water.

And they made a female sailor wear a headscarf...ugh!

I'm stunned she wasn't raped to death.

It does, doesn't it. I already see all of the Obama knee-padders going "See, Diplomacy Works!"

What happened here. Since the pentagon rarely tells us the real story ( “work place violence”) we have no basis to believe them now. I want to know what those two boats were doing and why. How do two boats have engine problems and “drift “into another nations sovereign waters? How in the hell did we give them this technology? Who is responsible for both boats drifting aimlessly inside Iranian waters ( which we admit). Something is wrong with this picture and we need answers.

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

What's the line from that new Navy recruiting ad playing now on TV? - ( ominous tone from narrator ) " The Navy - because they'll have to go through us to get to you". . . LOLZ - that one dude looks like he's getting ready to take it up the a$$ - how humiliating

Kerry probably thanked them for not raping her, that’s the cooperation he was talking about.

Were is the fishing boat? All I see is heavily armed Iranian patrol boats.

Looks like one guy with a rifle and a mounted machine gun in an open fiberglass fishing boat. The US boat has multiple mounted machine guns, and typically a 50 caliber machine gun. Oh, and presumably some armor. And if we didn't have a liberal fool as Commander in Chief, the US boat could call in some help in case of trouble - something like an MH-60 or an F/A-18. There is not much a few guys in a fiberglass boat can do against either aircraft other than run or jump overboard.

Frankly, I'm surprised at the speedy release, but I can see the logic of it.

If the Iranians hold the sailors it becomes a huge international incident, makes big problems for Barry & Kerry so that future capitulations to Iran become impossible, and fuels US anger that feeds the Trump phenomena.

This way is short and sweet: Iran scores a propaganda triumph in the Muslim world for humiliating the US while knowing that this will be swept down the memory hole by the US media and the incident forgotten by the next news cycle, and thus allowing Barry & Kerry to continue to concede to Iranian bad behavior on things related to the nuclear “deal.”

There seems to have been some internal debate in the Iranian leadership whether to hold or not to hold, with the nots ultimately prevailing.

There’s no proof we were ‘in their waters’... that’s just the Iranian claim and it’s highly unlikely.

What is that a Boston Whaler they surrendered to? Are you kidding me! There must have been a big cutter standing by otherwise just kill me now.
