The Iranian military;s Chief of staff has released a chiding message to the US armed forces.
The Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, Major General Hassan Firouzabadi, boasted that Tuesday’s capture and subsequent release of 10 American sailors “proved how vulnerable the U.S. is in front of powerful Iranian forces.”
His comments were paraphrased in a defiant report by Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency.
IRNA continued, summarizing Firouzabadi’s statements on the dramatic events:
Were it not for the good intentions of the Iranian commanders, he said, the US was facing yet another crisis now.
The incident showed the vigilance of the Iranian armed forces, the commander noted. …
Firouzabadi said what happened to American sailors on Tuesday proved how vulnerable the US is in front of powerful Iranian forces.
Iran’s Tasnim news agency quoted Firouzabadi stating, “This incident in the Persian Gulf, which probably will not be the American forces’ last mistake in the region, should be a lesson to troublemakers in the US Congress.”

IT is only by good fortune and a lucky political climate that the sailors were released within a day of their capture. Worse, Iran gets to look smugly magnanimous while the US gets egg on its face in the Middle East all over again.
If Obama was serious about his foreign policy, and had taken a stronger stance against ISIS, the sailors would probably have avoided detention to begin with and the whole incident would have never occurred. But don’t expect Obama to take anything but credit for the swift release of the sailors.
DESTROY THIS TERRORIST COUNTRY
on our ships and sailors in the Caspian sea, Egypt,Somalia, Quatar. Those scumbags over there hate the west unless we have a check for them and this president has given them a lot of checks, especially Egypt, playing both sides of the coin is bad policy, it’s dishonest to them and to Israel since Egypt also hates Israel but more importantly it’s dishonest to us citizen tax payers.
Iran military reaction based on international law. Don’t make it personal . American sailors takes no damage and get free after investigation that shows Iranian picefull policy.
