This story is equivilent to Iranians in a boat on the Rio Grande getting captured by US Agents and then released. We would probably do the same if something looked suspicious to us. We are viewed as a threat to Iran and they are just protecting their border. Nothing happened to our guys and they were released, no big deal.

This story is equivilent to Iranians in a boat on the Rio Grande getting captured by US Agents and then released. They weren't just simply captured and released.
They were "taken at gunpoint and blindfolded". They were "interrogated hourly throughout the night".

I am sure you meant Mexicans on the Rio Grande, but that is precisely my point.
They were intercepted by soldiers of the Iranian government who followed orders and then released them upon instructions from higher authority.
This is not anything for anyone to get that bent out of shape about. I would say the Iranians handled it about as well as anyone has the right to expect.
