Probably before they got the “STAND DOWN” order.

I also heard on the news today that Iran says we apologized. State Department says we didn’t. Don’t know which is less trustworthy...

They didn’t fight because the Navy has reduced the standards of training for the woman on the left.

Apologize and give them $150 billion. Great! Trump better jump on this fast.

The initial report made it sound like the Iranians were helping out a couple of our boats in distress. Then they went all crazy haji and started ranting about “spies” and it all went out the window. Naturally, Kerry just ignored everything after the initial report.

Heard the Iranians and Russians are testing pulse technology. Maybe they “tested” on one of the boats, disabling it, and it drifted?

Maybe, but military equipment is supposed to be hardened against EMP.

This entire story is bogus. No way in Hell two boats “wandered” into Iranian territory much less lost power at the same time. Fuel starvation would be extremely unlikely, and the Navy plans their paths to keep clear of foreign territory.

Yep, you’re right. I had forgotten that happy fact.

Likely a staged photo op. The brass set these sailors up for capture so that Kerry could ride to the rescue and obtain their immediate release, in order to show how great the US - Iran relationship is because of the nuclear deal. Nothing is beneath these cretins.

“Hey Iran....Obama is apologizing...not the “U.S.” Let's be clear on that.”

Ditto that.
I imagine the apology went something like this. Metaphorically speaking.

‘Apologize!’
