When will we hear about our boys, and are they OK? No one is saying anything about it!
This is surely an act of war. What the hell is going on!

Not with Chicken Little in the White House. I bet the Iranians are shaking in their boots. It's almost as scary as if Jimmy Carter was back in charge.

The Pentagon has deployed the USS Farragut guided missle destroyer & P-3 surveilance air craft to monitor the taking of a US Cargo Ship by Iran earlyier today.
I hope our president speaks on this tonight. 25 workers are on that cargo ship.

You could be right on that. What a perfect way to get these oil prices up again.

A disabled boat drifted into Iranian waters and was intercepted. Iran's leaders did not even know about it until recently.

Iran is going to keep them for a few days, at least. There will be a parade, and they will use this incident to embarrass the US. Would you care to make a bet? I'm right. You know it. I'll bet you anything.

WASHINGTON (AP) Iran was holding 10 U.S. Navy sailors and their two small boats that drifted into Iranian waters with mechanical problems. Iran accused the sailors of trespassing but American officials said Tehran has assured them that the crew and vessels would be returned safely and promptly.
The sailors were expected to be t***sferred to U.S. custody Wednesday morning local time.
Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook told The Associated Press that the riverine boats were moving between Kuwait and Bahrain when the U.S. lost contact with them.
U.S. officials said that the incident happened near Farsi Island in the middle of the Persian Gulf. They said some type of mechanical trouble with one of the boats caused them to run aground and they were picked up by Iran. The sailors were in Iranian custody on Farsi Island at least for some time, but it's not certain where they are now.
The semi-official Iranian news agency, FARS, said the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's navy has detained 10 foreign forces, believed to be Americans, and said the sailors were trespassing in Iranian waters. FARS also reported that one of the 10 sailors was a woman.
"We have been in contact with Iran and have received assurances that the crew and the vessels will be returned promptly," Cook said.

As updates go, that one came through at 8 pm. As of now negotiations are under way and, they want to keep the boats in exchange for the (11) crewmembers.
Things are happening pretty quickly, please try to keep up.
