It had something to do with that money release. It had to have been some kind of side deal or concession or demand. Because we were about to release the money, then they took the boat. When they returned the boat and crew (minus SIM cards) the money was released. I have no idea what was on those cards, but the whole thing reminds me some how of a bible and a cake baked in the shape of a key.
As soon as I heard about the sim card removal, I felt that the iranians wanted to eliminate any proof that our naval vessels were indeed captured in international waters.
I wonder if we will ever hear the truth?!
