WASHINGTON (AP) -- Iran was holding 10 U.S. Navy sailors and their two small Navy boats after the boats had mechanical problems and drifted into Iranian waters, but American officials have received assurances from Tehran that they will be returned safely and promptly.

Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook told The Associated Press that the riverine boats were moving between Kuwait and Bahrain when the U.S. lost contact with them.

I wonder how much we PAID them for their return.

[BenLurkin]

Prediction:

Tee crews will be released soon — but without their weapons (and quite possibly in civilian garb).

The boats will remain and become part of the Iranian Navy.

[MeshugeMikey]

Obie sure won’t stand in their way!

[MeshugeMikey]

Something Stinks here:

Per reports one of the boats had mechanical problems. The other boat should have been able to have towed it. They were military boats likely with redundancy in case of battle damage, etc,

IMHO this might have been another case of the Kenyan giving confidential military tech to the enemy (at minimum communication gear) like has happened before with the Drone, The Embassy, etc.

being held “overnight” [at least] 10 includes 1 woman.

Absolutely. How do two boats break down?

Unless it was a new Russian weapon. A "point and shoot" EMP-type device.

[wally_bert]

Those boats will no doubt get parts and other support if the wun has his way.

[txhurl]

Yep, something stinks.

[Regulator]

[entropy12]

Also missing will be their wallets, ID’s, passports etc.

To be used later by terrorists for easy access to USA.
