TEHRAN, Jan. 13 (MNA) – Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said IRGC Navy will decide about detained US marines who illegally entered Iran waters once chain of command passes down its orders.
“All vessels must give prior notice if they want to sail through another country’s waters, especially if they are military,†said Ali Fadavi, Commander of the IRGC (the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps) Navy, referring to the two American riverine command boats that had illegally crossed into Iranian territorial waters around Farsi Island in the Persian Gulf.
“In the world of international relations, there is only one instance of innocent passage through international waters, and the presence of American military in the Persian Gulf and their passing through our waters has definitely never been innocent,†said Rear Admiral Fadavi.
He noted that the two military boats had 10 armed US Marine Corps, nine men and one woman, adding “these two boats have been situated three miles from the territorial waters of Farsi Island and were detained by the IRGC navy due to their unprofessional performance and did not put up much resistance.â€
“After the seizure, the US aircraft carrier regrettably showed an unprofessional performance for 40 minutes by doing rounds in the region which shows Americans' lack of commitment to their claims of providing peace and security to the region,†he said. "During this 40 minutes, the IRGC timely actions managed to restore peace to the region and bring the situation under control."
The Navy commander maintained that from the first moments diplomatic calls had been held, adding “it was clear that US Secretary of State John Kerry had contacted Iran’s Foreign Ministry and demanded for the release of the marines but Mr. Zarif had taken a firm stance on this and said the marines had illegally entered Iranian territorial waters and the US must apologize to Iran.â€
Admiral Fadavi further added that the IRGC navy will immediately take appropriate actions in regard to the detained marines as soon as it receives orders from the chain of command.
Obola will be more than happy to apologize.
F**k those muslim terrorist. Kill every last one of them, for they threaten Christendom and every decent thing in the world.
The worse leadership defects of jimmy carter have become a sub-set of comrade dictator obama’s.
“...adding it was clear that US Secretary of State John Kerry had contacted Iran’s Foreign Ministry and demanded for the release of the marines...”
After posting Tweets about cheese.
Another Benghazi. Looks like the problem may not have been Hillary’s alone.
apparently freed
Funny, I thought we only had one US Marine Corps. Obama must have created another 27 Infantry Divisions of Marines and they all fit into 2 little Zodiacs.
I’m sure fxck nuts is warming up Air Force One so he can go over and bow in apology, hand over more money and cave in on any sanctions.
The obama regime is the epitome of incompetence, weakness and stupidity; it breeds more incompetence, weakness and stupidity it cannot be fixed it must be routed out and replaced with competence, strength, common sense, reason and logic.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Of course we must, and Iran knows their opponent in the humiliation game. Their wish, our command.
US apologises for Iran naval incursion
Oh well, at least it means an immediate release, doesn't it? Iran's Revolutionary Guards question US sailors, dismiss talk of prompt release
Timing is excellent, funds due to be released in the next week or so, barring Congressional action. Obama needed an issue to prevent that, in the unlikely event the House attempted anything. Now he's got it. Ten sailors, $150 billion for terrorists, who could oppose that trade.
You may be young, but you’re not an idiot.
Trumps numbers will go up another 10 points
I’m not young. It was the most terrible choice of usernames in history - short of “obamaisawesome”.
Can’t believe anything as reported. Big Media’s been sure to mention “small” boats in the headlines, so we wouldn’t worry...
Wonder if it was some sort of drop or a personal meeting of some kind.
Where was ValJar Monday night / Tuesday morning?
Something is very wrong with this story. These are suppose to be river boats.
Manned by what we are calling “sailors” and the Iranians are calling “Marines”. The pictures released shows the crews in some strange cammo (Iranian design?)with one guy in a flight suit. WTF is a guy in a flight suit doing on a river boat?
From the Halls of Montezuma
To the Shores of Tripoli
He’ll apologize to the whole world
On behalf of you and me
Just to make them all love us again
As prescribed by Howard Zinn
He will say his mea cul..ul..pas
For United States Marines
Enormous intelligence coup for Iran and all terrorists over there.
Much of the non English-speaking world thinks you're saying 'Sailor' if you say 'Marine'. I had a Russian friend at work- the subject came up once. I had to say 'naval infantry' for her to understand. The camo looks like digital multicam, which I wouldn't be terribly surprised at.
There is way more to this story, I suspect strongly.
