AP - Pentagon: 2 US Navy boats held by Iran but will be returned
The AP reports: "Iran was holding 10 U.S. Navy sailors and their two small boats that
drifted into Iranian waters after experiencing 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, nine men and one woman, were being held overnight at an
Iranian base on Farsi Island in the Persian Gulf, and were expected to
be transferred to a U.S. ship in the region on Wednesday morning local
time."
