I wonder if they'll give the boat back?

Boats?
I think they probably will, but if not, the people are all that matter.
They are waiting on a lot of assets to be released, I don't think they are going to screw this up

Iran is waiting for their nuclear treaty to be ratified, so they won't do anything to screw that up.
It really shouldn't be news, Iran does the right thing. Does anyone in their right mind think that 10 years ago had soldiers made the exact same mistake that they would've been released in the morning?
Thank you President Obama for making the world a safer place for all of us, including members of the United States military.

Imagine the screaming about Obama had these people been held another day.

The circumstances seem suspicious.
I can see one boat running out of fuel or having mechanical trouble, but BOTH BOATS?
At the same time?
And then quite suddenly we can't establish radio contact with either boat?

I seem to remember getting quite a bit of flak from you colonials a few years ago when a Royal Navy vessel was picked up in Iranian waters.
Glad your sailors are ok, but still.... ha ha ha!

This is why you can't get complacent about navigational aids. Once you are in a small boat like that, you need to know where the hell you are going.
I haven't heard anyone say exactly why they were where they were.....
I heard they were on a standard exercise, the boat broke down, the other boat refused to leave it, it drifted into Iranian waters, but now they are saying it doesn't add up.
