Iranian Fars News reported:
Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy Commander Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi blamed the US navy for its excited and unprofessional moves after Iran arrested 10 US marines for trespassing on its territorial waters, warning that his forces' coast-to-sea missiles were awaiting orders to hit the American aircraft carrier deployed in the region. The IRGC seized two US Navy boats on Tuesday and detained them on Iran's Farsi Island in the Persian Gulf. Nine men and one woman arrived in Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf illegally when they were captured by the IRGC Navy.
Following the capture, two US and French aircraft carriers as well as their accompanying fleets and military choppers started maneuvering near Iranian waters.
"The USS Truman Aircraft carrier showed unprofessional moves for 40 minutes after the detention of the trespassers, while we were highly prepared with our coast-to-sea missiles, missile-launching speedboats and our numerous capabilities" and were ready to strike them in case they made a hostile move, Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said after Iran released the detained US marines.

OMG
And hopefully, some “rogue” general in the Pentagon would order and launch an attack on Iran, the likes of which they have never seen (and will never see again).
I suspect we were ordered to stand down yesterday .
“Pen or phone??”
Neither. B52 fly-by.
Such a terrible, terrible, image. As an American, I am very embarrassed. And very stupified. And very sad. “Smite them hip and thigh” I say.

Obama plans to give the Iranians the USS Truman ?
It’s gone, just like the Pueblo.
We are WAY past the point when we should have been pounding Tehran into rubble. I was all for doing it back in 1979, but we had a P*ssy for a President.
And today, it's deja vu all over again.
You would simply have committed suicide.
"In a 2014 New Yorker interview, Obama said his goal was to create a 'new equilibrium' in the Middle East.
In the short run, at least, his signature diplomatic undertaking can be counted on to bring more violence to this volatile region.
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, as the [Obama-Putin Iran deal] agreement is formally known, provides the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism an infusion of somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 billion of unfrozen assets and a great deal more of continuing revenues as businesses and governments around the world rush to profit from oil-and-gas-rich Iran's reintegration into the world economy.
The agreement relaxes the international isolation of the Islamic Republic and ratifies Tehran's status as a nuclear threshold state. And it relieves restrictions on Iran's acquisition of weapons, including ballistic missiles. ..."

This is the aspect of this which our stupid American Leadership does not grasp. Normal, non-indoctrinated people look at nuclear war with horror. But because of Iran's nut-burger religion, Iran considers it an incentive.
The most idiotic move in human history would be to let religious fanatics get their hands on nuclear weapons.
Glassy plain.
I agree, it makes me sick to my stomach. I don’t know but if it was me there would have been some machine gun firing. Looking at those guns and no one put up a fight. Maybe I’m wrong but WTF.
Oh, wait. Is obama still president? Never mind ...
Talk about weakness.
The NAVY being a professional organization; I’m fairly certain their moments were entirely professional.
And we have done it deliberately twice ... what are the odds?
Yeah but at that time we had an American as President, this time we have a muzzie resident!
