Navy Capt. Reveals What Iran REALLY Did With U.S. Sailors… Media Completely Silent
(Conservative Tribune) – To say that Iran made this week difficult for the Obama administration would be a massive understatement.
First, their new BFFs, the mullahs in Tehran, decided to arrest 10 American sailors whose boat had broken down and drifted into Iranian waters. Then, America was forced to apologize to get them back.
Finally, a Republican congressman said that Secretary of State John Kerry and Defense Secretary Ash Carter had actually contacted the Iranians to fetch the boats.
After all that, Secretary Kerry had the gall to say that the “quick release” of the sailors was due to the improved relations fostered by the Iran deal.
While the administration may be singing “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,” Capt. Chuck Nash isn’t buying it. The former naval officer and military analyst took to Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom” on Thursday to say what he thinks the incident showed.
“This was done intentionally and it was done to further embarrass the United States. And to send the clear message to the Gulf Arabs: If the Americans won’t stand up for themselves, they’re certainly not going to stand up for you. We’re the big dog now,” Nash said.
Nash also said that the decision to release footage of an American sailor apologizing for the incident was made at the highest level — likely by Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Watch here:
Capt. Nash also questioned whether or not the sailor who apologized on video should have done so.
“One of my questions is, was this young man — what kind of formal training has he had in code of conduct and rules of engagement?” Nash asked. “Rules of engagement to wind up in this situation and code of conduct once you’re there … you don’t know what kind of duress he was under, so we’ll have to see.”
One thing is for certain, though — it’s yet another loss of prestige for the United States in the Middle East.
