Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said Wednesday that any report that 10 detained U.S. Navy sailors would soon be released was "speculation", while the unit's naval chief said the country's foreign minister had demanded an apology from the U.S. for entering Iranian waters.

Revolutionary Guard naval chief Gen. Ali Fadavi told state TV Wednesday that the American boats showed "unprofessional acts" for 40 minutes before being picked up by Iranian forces.

I agree.

I also refer to this as Carter’s third term.

These two presidents have more to destabilize the plant than anyone else in the last 75 years.

10 January 2016

Top News A stunning new Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) report circulating in the Kremlin today states that one of the United States Navy's top commanders was relieved of his command a few hours ago after he sent out an email/posting revealing that President Barack Obama was in the process of purchasing a multi-million dollar seaside luxury villa in the United Arab Emirates city (UAE) of Dubai. According to this report, the Commander of the US Carrier Strike Group 15, Rear Admiral Rick Williams, posted a query on 8 January [since deleted] to the US Naval Institute Readiness Kill Chain.

Well, we’re open to it.

I wonder what was really going on, that led to this.

You have to go to the foreign press (sadly) to get both versions:

https://www.rt.com/news/328716-us-maneuvers-gulf-arrest/

Iran says it might be espionage. They demanded an apology.

U.S. claimed both boats had ‘mechanical failure.’ Now they are saying the GPS broke. On two boats.

Iranians demand apology:

U.S.says both boats had broken GPS systems. And motors.

2016 is off to quite a start. 2 China market stops, North Korean nuclear test, I think the jihadists hit the Saudis and we’ve got military hostages in Iran.

Thanks for the link.

For our men, I do hope this blows over.

Go with the GPS story if you must, but apologize only for the intrusion based on that.

Two boats?

Someone is yanking our lanyard.

Well, color me surprised!

Not.

Remain calm. There’s no cause for concern. Uh, yeah. Sure.

And remember, Russia is 75-80 percent dependent on oil revenues while needing about $102 per barrel to break even.

“But if it’s determined, after they are debriefed and interviewed, that their entry [into Iranian waters] was for intelligence gathering or irrelevant action, definitely the authorities will take the necessary measures.”

They tortured Amir Hekmati into admitting he was a spy.
I am just livid and sick over this.
