So, Iran has seized two of our Navy boats...

This seems like a fairly straight forward non story.

Two boats strayed into Iranian waters, were detained, we apologized, they're being released.

Is there anything to even discuss here?

I agree with the above. We would do the same here. So long as they release them as they have stated they will there shouldn't be an issue.

Its very likely that my son knows at least one of these sailors, if not more than one. He's on USS Harry S Truman and thats where they currently are, so I would guess maybe these 10 are off of Truman.. Its a bit nerve racking, but hopefully they will release and such and there won't be any problems. I'm fairly confident that my son is not one of the 10, he's nuclear and typically stays in the bottom of the carrier, there's not any reason why he would have been on a smaller boat doing a training mission(or whatever they were doing) but I bet the mommas of sailors it could potentially be are on edge.. again hopefully the release will go without issue.

but then. Iran did fire a "test rocket" in the direction of Truman the week before Christmas, in International waters, and after only issuing a 23 second warning.. so lets hope they aren't up to causing trouble and this doesn't escalate. They'll be biting off more than they want that's for sure.

My son is there as well and on the VBSS team for his ship, so...

Well, I chose the wrong day to not have TV news playing in the background! At least I was in the car catching NPR, but apparently not all news stories!

I was just reading about this and thought about you and yours. I am also hoping that your son is safe and sound. 

Diplomacy at it's finest. I'm sure the President's critics are a little disappointed that they can't use this incident against the President. Boo hoo.

This has nothing to do with your family, and I'm sorry you jumped to that conclusion. It's not about the Iranian people, but about their government.

I'm basing my comments on the extremely tense and hostile history between the US and Iran.

They were released yesterday, the 13th, just hours after the incursion happened.  Iran said, in a press statement, they didn't suspect them of spying and the incursion was unintentional.  After release the sailors made a video saying that it was a mistake and their fault and that their craft had broken down.

So all over in a very limited time and no bargaining involved.

Probably down to how it's reported?

The video is a violation of the Geneva conventions. Iran just humiliated us, is using the video as propaganda, and John fricking Kerry comes out praising them.

What a bunch of weak, feckless, jackasses we have running this country.

The video was made by the Iranians while the American sailors were being held prisoner. It's clear to me the sailor speaking in the video was only repeating words he'd been told to say. The US government has denied issuing an apology of its own, though Iran claims we did.

In what way? I wasn't aware that the US was at war or involved in any armed conflict  with Iran.
The Geneva Convention are rules of international humanitarian law in armed conflicts.

I'm guessing and probably very near the truth having read your post, that Iran was putting on record what actually happened and how exactly they reacted so that no " guessing"  or any baseless accusations be made against them.

And not that it matters to you but I think John Kerry handled the situation very well........it's called diplomacy!

How sad   Peace in this world will be a very long time coming if too many think that way.

I absolutely agree.

That's why opinions like @lynlam's scare me so much.
