Early Wednesday morning Iran said they released our 10 Navy sailors they captured on Tuesday.
Iran claimed they captured the U.S. sailors because they crossed into Iranian territorial waters. Its up to you if you believe that or not.As reported by The Hill, a statement by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps said the sailors were taken to international waters and set free.
Ironically, the Islamic Republican News Agency (IRNA) quoted Major Gen. Hassan Firouzabadi, chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces saying:
take our poll - story continues belowDo you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)

Firouzabadi said the U.S. would be facing “yet another crisis now” if is wasn’t for the “good intentions of the Iranian commanders.”
Well, isn’t that interesting and yet President Obama does nothing to hold Iran accountable for their actions.Congressman Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who is also a veteran, had the following to say about Obama’s failed foreign policies on his Facebook page:
The President boasted of his deal with Iran and his commitment to releasing terrorists from Gitmo, yet these policies have weakened our national security by empowering Iran and placing hardened terrorists back into circulation.
Senator Tom Cotton said Iran was purposely trying to embarrass Obama and America by seizing the U.S. Navy ships hours before Obama’s last State of the Union address. He also slammed U.S. officials for downplaying the event before Obama’s remarks.
As reported by the Washington Examiner, Cotton said:
First off, it’s humiliating Barack Obama, and therefore the United States, to have American sailors held hostage during his final State of the Union.
He went on to say:
Second . . . the nuclear deal is about to be implemented, maybe as early as this week, in which Iran is going to get over $100 billion to continue its campaign of terror and aggression throughout region and around the world.
