Iranian officials are now openly bragging about taking ten US Navy sailors hostage and forcing the female sailor to put on a hijab. This comes after Obama apologized to Iran for the two Navy boats and taking American sailor hostage. John Kerry then thanked the Iranians and Obama didn’t mention it at his final State of the Union address. Then the video comes out with guns pointed at the sailor’s heads. It’s now being used exactly how you’d expect. Iran is using to show how ‘mighty’ they are and how weak this country is. Fundamental transformation at it’s finest.

The semi-official Fars News Agency reported Wednesday that Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told Secretary of State John Kerry that the U.S. needed to apologize before the sailors were released. According to a statement from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, “the Americans have extended an apology,” Fars said.
Zarif tweeted today: “Happy to see dialog and respect, not threats and impetuousness, swiftly resolved the #sailors episode. Let’s learn from this latest example.”
Washington denies any “official” apology was offered. Iran broadcast a video with one of the sailors stiffly apologizing and thanking Iran for “fantastic” treatment.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araqchi said the detention of the sailors was “a sign of our might.”
“This shows Iran’s internal power as we powerfully seized the military vessel of the world’s big military power and then freed its personnel powerfully after ensuring of their unintentional entry into our territorial waters,” Araqchi, who was the chief nuclear negotiator for Iran in the P5+1 deal, said on Wednesday.
Iranian Armed Forces’ Chief of Staff Major General Hassan Firouzabadi said the incident once again proved the U.S. forces’ “vulnerability,” according to Iran’s Press TV.
