Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Dramatic video shows ten American sailors on their knees as they surrendered to Iranian troops
2016-01-13
It's a Daily Mail article, so it's huge. Here are the highlights from the header.
Footage of sailors on the floor, with hands behind their heads surrounded by Iranian guards has been released

It was aired on the Islamic republic's state television after they were freed following a diplomatic standoff

When the sailors were taken off of the boats in the Persian Gulf, they were questioned by the IRGC

Later the captives were filmed looking relaxed while sitting on a big carpet sharing plats of food and water

One of the sailors was filmed apologizing for their unit's 'mistake' and praised the Iranians 'fantastic' behavior

A female sailor with the group was given a makeshift head scarf to wear while they enjoyed meal

Reports by state media inside Iran stated the U.S. issued a grovelling apology before the sailors were freed

However John Kerry's spokesman said there is 'zero truth' to reports the Secretary of State said sorry

FYI VPOTUS JOE BIDEN = claimed that Iran was only helping out US Boats and Personnel in distress, + there is absolutely no evidence that US SecState John Kerry had formally "apologized" to Iran for the incident, i.e. for the US illegally entering Iran territorial waters.

FARS ISLAND = SOUTH CHINA SEA + EAST CHINA SEA???
