us navy violated iran territorial waters when 2 boats had "engine trouble" at the same time and "drifted" into iran territory. when you actually see the facts, it is entirely the us's fault and we were probably doing some sketchy stuff. just be glad that iran is willing to let them go so easily.

over half of iran's population is under 40 and is fairly moderate -- they don't have the hate that the old time hard liners do. we have helped the old hard liners stay in power by being the enemy -- they are very afraid of losing that grip and will probably do more of this stuff to provoke a response from the us. a hard line response from the us will prove that the west is the axis of evil and help them stay in power.

you venture into us waters the same thing will happen. i know all you radicalized guys would like this to be in incompetence, it's not. this is a planned incursion to identify or cloak other actions.
staged with purpose. every news channel just reported it around the world, those under cloak now have their message delivered.
