What I know is that the "apologies" and hijab came in a very short amount of time, and were accompanied by no visible evidence of harm or inconvenience. So let's just say that if you're right about the coercion, it must have been a very special and effective sort of coercion, and indeed, I'm interested to hear it described.
We don’t KNOW anything about what was happening to these sailors.
It’s not right to make these kinds of judgments about them without KNOWING.
fyi, the Iranian regime is very experienced at coercion that doesn’t show evidence of obvious harm, including psychological methods.
Also, you have no idea what kinds of instructions these sailors were given with respect to behavior should they be captured. Maybe they were following the orders of their superiors.
IOW - We don’t Know enough to denigrate their character or cast aspersions or make judgments.
