Iran has released new photographs in which at least one of the recently captured U.S. sailors is crying, according to a series of the pictures posted on social media.

The pictures, as well as an accompanying video, were released by Iranian state-controlled news outlets and disseminated on Twitter by Iranian reporters early Wednesday.

The new photographs come on the heels of another set of pictures that showed Iranian military forces detaining the U.S. sailors at gun point and forcing them to place their hands upon their heads while kneeling on a ship.

Perhaps they were brought to tears because they were ordered to surrender?

Look at the photo. The person looks like they could have middle eastern to me but with what looks like blue”ish”eyes. Anyone could photoshop brown eyes and make them blue easily and we know how the Iranians as well as ISIS have show they have decent computer skills that they use to manipulate and deceive their enemies like the recent fake tank “prototype” they had as well as the fake missile launcher trucks they posted online awhile back.

Does everyone’s eyes get bloodshot like that when they cry? Those eyes were irritated.

I would be crying out of frustration humiliation.

"I am an American fighting man, I will never surrender..."

Why are they crying?

Because their command from their ship captain to the DOD and up to the CIC abandoned them in their hour of need to orak savages of Islam.

My thought as well. Frustration.

The Iranians are violating international law and convention by publishing these pictures.

We don’t know what these guys orders were and its not our place to second guess them.

Because the whole point is demoralization, and the American media is 100% about demoralization.

My guess as someone with some experience is that the crew/OIC completely screwed up, and the full story is just embarrassing as hell for the Navy.

Eventually, the story will leak out from folks in the Navy, but that will take awhile.
