Iran Has Released U.S. Hostages After Saying They Received An Apology From Obama

Ten American sailors who were captured by Iran when their boats drifted into Iranian waters are set to be freed if the U.S. will apologize to Tehran.

EDITOR’S NOTE: On the very day Barack Obama stepped on television to assure the country that “we have never been stronger”, Iran captured two US Navy boats and took 10 US sailors, including one woman, as hostages. Today Iran said that they have released the hostages after “receiving an apology” from the US. And this is the country Obama tells us to trust regarding their nuclear ambitions? This is Obama’s idea of an America that has “worldwide respect”? You have got to be kidding me. 

The 10 American sailors captured by Iran were freed Wednesday, but the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and U.S. officials appear to be at odds over whether the U.S. apologized for the incident before their release.

Iranian authorities let the sailors go after determining that their vessels’ entry into Iranian waters was unintentional and “after they extended an apology,” according to a statement from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps, quoted in the country’s semi-official FARS News Agency. The statement went on to say, “The Americans have undertaken not to repeat such mistakes.”

But the State Department quickly rebutted that report Wednesday morning.

“There is no truth in reporting that Secretary Kerry apologized to the Iranians,” Kerry spokesman John Kirby told reporters Wednesday, later tweeting that the claim had “zero” validity. “As the Secretary said in his statement this morning, he expressed gratitude to Iranian authorities for their cooperation in swiftly resolving this matter, and noted that the peaceful and efficient resolution of this issue is a testament to the critical role diplomacy plays in keeping our country safe, secure, and strong.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, who has maintained open lines with Kerry and U.S. officials, made no mention of an apology in a tweet he sent after the sailors were released.

“Happy to see dialog and respect, not threats and impetuousness, swiftly resolved the #sailors episode. Let’s learn from this latest example,” Zarif wrote. A Navy statement said the detained sailor have been transferred to shore and are no longer on USS Anzio, which helped carry them back to U.S. custody.

The sailors were captured Tuesday after their two naval boats entered Iranian waters near Farsi Island, in the Persian Gulf.

The wait for the sailors’ release Wednesday morning dragged on for hours, with Iranian officials interrogating the sailors about their motives and demanding a U.S. apology.

But an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps spokesman told state-run media the boats strayed into Iranian waters by accident.

“The evidence suggests that they unintentionally entered the Iranian waters because of the failure of their navigational system,” IRGC spokesman Ramazan Sharif said. source

      Why aren’t the obvious questions being asked? Isn’t any body going to ask what they were doing there? How did they become captured? Were the us spy boats electronically disabled? What were the circumstances of the capture? Are reporters permitted to ask questions or will they be terminated and/or mur dered? etc….I was just watching fox news and wondered what “fair and balanced” really means. Does it mean they’re giving equal time to patriots and traitors, or traitors and traitors? Does any one believe the horse sht?

      Seems a rather reasonable response by Iran to the situation. This is the edge of an active war zone and the U.S. sailors represent enemy combatants – depending upon how you slice the ISIS factor. They were never “hostages” as this inflammatory headline suggests. Were the situation reversed, Iranian sailors captured off our coast would be facing lifelong torture at Gitmo.
