Iranians hold an anti-U.S. slogan during celebrations in Tehran’s Azadi Square (Freedom Square) to mark the 37th anniversary of the Islamic revolution on February 11, 2016

Marking the 37th anniversary of its Islamic revolution, Iran continued to publicly mock the 10 U.S. sailors its military forces detained in Iranian waters last month.
Groups of shackled Iranian men and at least one woman (many of them overweight) were paraded thought the streets of downtown Tehran as part of the celebration. Dressed in fatigues meant to depict those of U.S. sailors, the men had guns pointed at them while kneeling on the ground with their hands behind their heads. Others were tied together with bags over their heads.
Crowds gathered to watch the mock reenactment of the heavily propagandized Jan. 12 incident
. Ten American sailors were detained for roughly 24 hours after their Riverine command boats strayed into Iranian waters near Farsi Island.
Iranian state media released images yesterday that it said shows one of the U.S. sailors weeping while in detention. The State Department expressed its “disgust” at Iran’s decision to release that footage in a statement to ABC News.
Last month, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said he was “very, very angry” after Iran first released footage of the U.S. sailors and said the U.S would not have done the same to the Iranians, had the roles been reversed.
The Navy’s 5th Fleet released a short description of the incident last month but has yet to produce a larger investigation it said is in the works. None of the U.S. sailors involved have publicly talked about the incident.

This is the same country Obama gave billions to....
Obama is fully brain dead in the middle east. causing rifts with our allies,,,, for what with Iran?
Iran is fully in the Russian orbit - they even cooperate logistically in Syria

The anniversary of a time when the US meddled in Iran's business and we should not have done so.
It is disgusting they did this to our sailors, Carter is right, the US would not do this to an Iranian.

This does not mean that all Israelis despise people of color and should be hated. It doesn't even suggest that the Israel government has a policy of hanging black people. Yet the OP attempts to tarnish Iran and Iranians. Why ?
Is anyone really surprised Iran would make a mockery of our sailors? Oh wait, yes there are, and they are in charge of our foreign policy. It's amazing, astounding, perplexing....it's hard to find words for it. The Iranians chant 'death to America', for crying out loud. What did they expect them to do?
This is worse than Jimmy Carter. Carter had a better grip on reality than this.

Iran ? You mean a few overweight street demonstrators someplace ?
' Mockery ' ? Where's your condemnation of Israelis killing US sailors ?
http://american3rdposition.com/?p=14081
And why do you people want war with Iran ? Is it because the US spent so much money bribing the Shah and then the Iranian people chucked him out anyway and got their country back ?
Is it because Iran will soon become the region's economic powerhouse even though the US is pumping a further $50 billion into fascist Israel ?

When there is an adult again in the WH in about 11 months, incidents like this will hopefully cease, as they will engender a fierce response. I am also hoping that the ROE of the military will change, so that when they are fired upon, or sailors/soldiers kidnapped, the military posture and response will be much, much more aggressive to iran's heinous behavior.
I should also point out how inept the fuck-awful obama administration is, in that they will bend over no matter what iran does - including violating the 4th Geneva Conventions by parading and humiliating an enemy's soldiers/POWs. If kerry/obama had any fucking courage or character whatsoever, they would have warned iran about this, and demanded their immediate return. Instead we get kerry the insurmountably unintelligent asshole pleading with the iranians to return them. These fucking bastards in the white house have damaged the US' credibililty worse than can be described, and it is tragic that they were in office for so many years. obama will be looked at by history as the worst president ever in the nation's history, this is without question.

The US "meddled in iran's business"? And what the fuck is iran doing in iraq, lebanon, yemen - where it overthrew a democratically elected regime, bahrain, gaza and libya, where it has troops or terrorist army proxies trying to undermine those regimes? Did the US send its army into iran? No idiot, it paid IRANIANS to do something they were already going to do, remove mossadegh for violating the iranian constitution.
Second, why do leftist cunts like you think you can milk a 60+ year old event, but the US is supposed to forgive shit iran did far more recently? Should the US nuke iran off the map for murdering 241 US marines in beirut in 1983? How about the 85 US diplomats iran murdered there later that year as well? Or the naval/diplomatic personnel iran murdered later in the 1980s in lebanon?
The fact of the matter is that iran is a cancerous terror state, and it is long, long past its shelf life. A real president in the WH is desperately needed to crush them, and stop this fucking nonsense already.

^ Iran is not in Libya. ISIS in Libya are salafi jihadists. I do agree Iran is the largest sponser of state terrorism when Hezbollah is taken into account
Also Iranian hegemony is manifest in the countries cited. Also they are in the Russian orbit now, anchoring the Shi'a Crescent.
There is nothing for the US in dealing with Iran -that was an Obama pipe dream, and he's undermined Saudi relations for nothing
Hizb'allah are not terrorists. Hizb'allah is the military wing of the democratically-elected Lebanese government and is opposed to ISRAEL, not the West per se. Hizb'allah is helping to defeat ISIS in Syria at the request of the Syrian government and because ISIS is a threat to Lebanon. When ISIS is defeated Hizb'allah will return to ridding Lebanon of its occupation by neoZionist fascists. Yes, I'm talking about the Shaaba Farms- which are Lebanese.
