Two small U.S. Navy vessels appear to be in Iranian custody, but their crews will be released promptly, the Pentagon said Tuesday.

However, FARS, an Iranian news agency, said that the ten sailors had been arrested and were suspected of “snooping.”

Two U.S. naval craft were en route from Kuwait to Bahrain when they disappeared from the Navy’s scopes. The incident marks the latest run-in between Iranian and U.S. crews. In late December, Iranian gunboats fired unguided missiles almost 1,000 yards away from the aircraft carrier the USS Harry S. Truman.

According to a senior administration official who declined to be identified, Secretary of State John F. Kerry spoke to an Iranian official believed to be his counterpart foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif about the situation.

Don't worry, I'm hearing President Rouhani is a Good Guy™.

When our ? Navy is getting beaten by the Portland State of Navy's, this doesn't bode well for the impending WWIII Obama is setting up.

Why would they be snooping when we have satellites. Obvious money grab.
