Iran’s Humiliation Of Barack Obama Is Now Complete
This was no friendly maritime assist by Iran. It was a coordinated humiliation of Barack Obama by a regime that has embarrassed the president at every turn.

Ten American military personnel were arrested and detained by Iran on Tuesday, and President Barack Obama said not a word about it during his final State of the Union address on Tuesday evening.
His administration swore up and down that Iran was just doing a solid for our sailors and Marines, whose boats, we are told, had apparently broken down. Obama’s spokesman said the capture and detention of American servicemen and servicewomen were exactly why we had to lift sanctions on Iran and bless its enrichment of uranium. His surrogates whispered to media allies that rather than provoking the Iranians to attack the U.S., Obama’s nuclear deal really made it possible for the U.S. to free its captured personnel who never should have been in Iranian custody in the first place.
The Obama administration gave us its word that Iran had no “hostile intent” when it captured ten Americans, forced their surrender at gunpoint, and then demanded an American apology for the whole affair.
And then Iran released these photos of the nine men and one woman who were arrested at sea by the Iranians.

This was a set up, pure and simple.
Going from Kuwait to Bahrain will not take them anywhere near Iranian waters. Straight line, the nearest point of Irans waters is about 20 miles away So they didn't just accidentally drift 1 mile in.
Both boats would have GPS navigational equipment. BOTH didn't malfunction.
Even if GPS went down, Kuwait to Bahrain is a straight line. Simple compass readings could have set a course.
One having a mechanical failure is a chance.Both having a failure is a plan.
This wasn't a SPECOP mission, as there are no female SPECOP operators in the navy.
This was pure and simple a set up.
